    "Hagler-Mugabi" ranks up there over the last 120 years of boxing as a great middleweight championship fight...... It can hold its own with any other era / time in boxing history......:good

    It was a great fight, rd 6 especially was brilliant but it would not make my personal top 10-15 fights Ive seen, it might crack my top 20 tho, if you havent seen it then watch it, very good fight.

    I perhaps expected too much of it when I ordered it.

    Since you have more than enough facts, why dont you show it? Care to show excerpts? anything of the sort to contradict what I say?

    Didnt think so. and no, your word alone isnt good enough

    I'm sorry but you're just going to have to admit you're wrong this time. You need some serious explaining to do!

    Why would I have someone else take a picture if at the time it was widely believed Hagler would win? Am I suppossed to know ahead of time Leonard would win just so I can try covering it up?

    Just the fact that I was present means I watched the sessions. And everything I said concerning them is backed by a legitimate source.

    I've seen it. Absolutely love it, it's not a haymaker war or wild swings. It's a great fight. I dont like watching fights I know the results too but this is one of those fights I can watch over and over again.

    mugabi was undefeated with all k.o's at the time.

    Great fight, brutal finish, one of Haglers best wins. People discount Mugabi due to his later losses (in particular going DOWN to JMW and losing to Terry Norris in 1 rnd) but it's Hagler that ruined him.

    Terrific fight throughout with a faded Hagler slowly breaking down the extremely stern resistence of Mugabi. Round 6 is an all-time keeper, and the turning point in the fight, because from that point on, Marvin started to gain more and more control of the fight.
