    Interesting article. Incidently I've only seen one Finnegan fight, his second fight against Minter and he performed very well. A great contest, very close'un.

    Does anybody know where you can get any footage of the Hagler fight?

    I believe this is most likely.

    He only became the crowd favourite throughout the fight though, probably 'cause he was covered in blood, it took place in Boston.

    Yea, that's why the writers may (or may not) have taken a shine to him, just mildly exaggerating his efforts. But maybe he did genuinely stun Hagler.

    It was probably just a grimace if anything. But the fight was very close regardless, Kevin seemed to have the momentum.

    Can't find any footage on youtube, I'd ordered a Hagler boxset from Boxingwholesale.com a while back and the Finnegan fight isn't on it for whatever reason.:huh

    I don't think it's available mate. I have two missing (Demmings and Warren I think), but I've not heard of any more out there. I'd love to see the first fight myself.

    I've got those two. If I was more adept with computers I'd send you a copy of each. If you like, I'll watch them tonight and tell you how things went.

    They both were. But a 6-1 lead over Tubbs ain't too bad. :good
