Hagler - Sibson, Marvin's Greatest Fight

Hearns was also one handed after the first when he broke his right.

 

It was a technical masterclass by Hagler. He famously said that, after the third, (The only round that Tony won), he just started "Dipping into my toolbox", and that's what it looks like.
It was one of those nights when an elite sportsman gets it all right. Marvin has been asked about this performance dozens of times over the years and never does he make reference to anything specific that he'd worked on. It's like his talent just took over and he wasn't even thinking about it.
What surprises me even more is that Marvin has always said how Sibbo genuinely hurt him in the third yet this was his response. Poor Tony !

 

I have no doubt Hamsho was the better opponent. I was in the audience for most of those wins. Hamsho should be in the HOF. But, Hagler had his best fight vs. Sibson.

 

Those were the days my friend. I thought they'd never end.

How wrong I was. Now that it is 2021 and US boxing and boxing ov erall is a wasteland, those goods times live now only in my memory.

 

You can't explain to someone from the last 35 yrs or so how it was. It's impossible for them to see what was lost. No insult to them intended.

 

Haven't seen that in 40 yrs.

 

Not just Tommy but Duran supposedly hurt his hand against Hagler and it never gets mentioned.
