First time for Leonard did alot of shoe shining and a clean shot every now and then, second time for Hagler. A draw really would of been fair that's how I see it no one lost that fight.
I had it for Leonard by a point. It was a very close fight but major props for Leonard cause no one thought he would survive vs Hagler.
I think if you sit down and score each round,that Leonard out scores Hagler. Hagler looks the bigger better and meaner of the two.I think That if the beast doesnt have much luck destroying his victim,then the victim becomes the victor. I used to change my mind as to who won every time i watched it......until i sat down the other day and viewed it from an unemotional standpoint. I had SRL winning handily on points when i ticked off the rounds on my scorecard. ....
I vacillate on this one nearly every time I watch it, so I cannot honestly answer. I think the last time I watched it I had it scored for Leonard by a **** hair, however.
Looks like the poll speaks for itself. In a close round i usually give the nod to the cleaner shots, and gave it to Leonard. However i watched it AGAIN lastnight with the intention of scoring close rounds to the aggressor, and had Hagler winning it by a few close rounds. Either way no argument, scoring a fight is a subjective matter, if you prefer cleaner shots then Leonard, if you prefer aggression then Hagler.
leonard won in my opinion.... had it a draw 5 rds to 5 rds after the 10th rd ended... leonard won rds 11 & 12 to win 7-5
I think Sugar just shaded it. In truth he hardly ever hurt Hagler, and Hagler hit Ray more squarely but not as often - but I only remember Hagler looking sluggish like his feet were made of lead, couldnt believe at the time that this guy I was watching was such a legend. But Prime Hagler would have given Ray diabetes, and herpes.
