    Intriguing matchup.. Lamotta is gonna take bombs from the beast, he can soak it up, but can he close the gap late or tko, yes imo he can !

    LaMotta on pedigree with the caveat that Mugabi would have been rated a lot higher had Hagler not snapped his spirit in half like a dry twig.

    Fun fight! Bombs away in the early stages by Mugabi before LaMotta comes back and KOs him in the 6th.

    Hard hard fight for both, Hagler just had the better tank and grit, it was a see saw job wasn't it....Hagler was past prime imo mate, and this aged him against Mugabi even more. Hagler at that stage reminds me of GGG now, as in past prime, slowing up noticeably but still the boy !

    I'd personally give him longer, but bombs away and a Lamotta comeback written all over it agreed !

    In a ten round fight I don't see LaMotta stopping Mugabi, The Beast by UD in 10
