How good a fight was Hagler v Mugabi?

Its not a bad fight, Its not a good fight , its not an amazing fight..

It is a fabulous fight.. It epitomizes what Marvin was all about...
Mugabi was the toughest man around at Middleweight and both men promised an all out struggle. They also provided it..

Its a must have fight if you are a fan of Marvins...

 

To tell you the truth, it's been a long time since i watched that fight.
But I can tell you this, I remember being very excited throughout!
It went back and forth, until Marvellous finally put away the beast!!!
But wait till you hear from someone who remembers it better, as I am a big Hagler fan and I could be subjective

 

PS.. where are you getting your DVD's ?

I need a good source for DVD's.....

 

I order from boxingjunkies...it's alright but it's cheap so if you're cash strapped. I'd recommend them.

 

I just watched part of it on youtube last week. Marvin's one of a kind, an atg. And Mugabi was no slouch. Definitely worth acquiring for the library.

 

No it was a classic;The sports world was watching after the Hearns battle and this fight delivered.
As an aside;Anybody else remember it being postponed from November to March.I remember being bitterly disappointed at the time.

 

id say it was a great fight it had a bit of everything,knockdwns,low blows ,fantastic pace ,clean punches,great start with mugabi doing brilliant a beating marvin to the punch a lot ,great middle where they went toe to toe in a firefight and great end where marvin turned it round and took him out when the fight was about even I also think this fight took a lot out of mugabi and his ability to take punishment sort of like peter vs klitscho what do u think

 

Good fight. Not as great as a few make it sound but def one to watch.

 

fantastic fight one of my personal favourites.

 

IMO is a great fight. I liked the whole thing..... If memory serves, I think they made it look like the Romans time.

Spoiler,
Watch round 6 a few times :yep

 

I saw it a few months ago on Versus. Before watching it, i thought it was an ATG brawl based on what i read about it but i think it's somewhat overrated. A good fight but not incredible by any means. The last few rounds were brutal though. A war of attrition.

 

great fight in my book

 

It was a very good fight.

Hagler was slowing down and easier to hit by 1986, but you still get to see a lot of his qualities that enabled him to win this one. His ability to take shots upstairs and downstairs, his brilliant jab, his in-fighting, will, body attack, etc..
