    It was a good but expected win by Hagler against a determined challenger. You can say it's his last great moment for sure as he was pushed and it's the last fight he ever won.

    I was just going to reply it was the one that took out Botha. It was textbook and the entire fight Mike looked completely shot and was on his way to be totally finished had he lost that night. That punch enabled him to hang in and get paydays for 5 more years. But yes the Etienne shot was nice.

    After that he was pretty much over .. knowing the life he was living it's surprising he had as much as he did as long as he did .. the drugs, the lack of training, ect ..

    Harada against Famechon first time. Johnny showed him too much respect when he was widely regarded to be past it, but Harada really whipped himself up one last time and capitalized. Should've been champion in three original weight classes.
