Hagler-Antuofermo I: Vito was a tough, tough, tough fighter

Jaffay, I too had it 143-142 Hagler (8-7 in rounds). And with a score of 8-7, I didn't have a problem with the draw decision.

I had it wide for Hagler. He landed all of the quality shots

 

Excellent avatar of a prime bat**** insane super genius you have there, G!:good (The ****tards running the world today are paragons of drab mediocrity.)

 

I thought Hagler clearly won in a close fight. For some reason I always think about this fight when I think about a Hopkins-Hagler fantasy matchup.

 

I scored it for Hagler,although Marvin did seem to step off the gas towards the end,and Vito finished extremely strongly. Tough as nails Vito was. Like a middleweight George Chuvalo.

 

my old trainer thought there was something not quite right in that fight and that minter was only keeping the title warm for hagler

 

I felt Vito edged it and capped it in the 13th with a big flurry that backed Hagler up- I don't know if it was because I was shocked that Vito made the fight so close with his in-close bulling tactics.

I thought Hagler was going to walk through him but Vito surprised me...there were a lot of close rds and it was a hard fight to score but I watched again and thought the Draw was fair and would have been unfair if Hagler got the title based on those efforts.

Vito got the short end of the stick in Minter 1, that was a fight that I thought Vito won by 2 rds but another close rounds fight and hard to score.

 

The fight I loved with Vito was Eugene"Cyclone" Hart, that was an exciting fight and a good finish by Vito...Hart was one of my favorites out of Philly right below Benny Briscoe

Cyclone used to throw a triple hook

 

Vito said Hart hit him so hard he physically lifted his feet off the canvas, and that after tasting that kind of power he could take any shot.

 

He's very similar to Harry Greb in my opinion. The more I learn about him the more convinced I am that he was the best/cleverest of all time.

 

He should have been cast instead of Colin Clive when Frankenstein was filmed by Universal in 1931. For starters, I think he was still young enough at 74 to carry it off, and clearly mad enough. Secondly, subjecting poor Boris Karloff to that arduous makeup ritual would have become unnecessary, with somebody on the lot who could probably reanimate an actual corpse. Besides, they were using his technology anyway for special effects. Why not just hire the whole package? Wouldn't Frankenstein have been fun? (Hell, if I was Carl Laemmle, I would have just hired him to collaborate with James Whale, but then again, I am obviously an extremely demented and deranged individual to even think of such things.)

 

Superb brawl that. Toe to toe with dervish like action.

 

I had it wide for Hagler. I thought he was screwed big time.
