On the anniversary of Hagler - Hearns (April 15th 1985)

Probably still that 1 , and ive seen a lot!!!

 

I love rd 1 of dempsey Willard
rd 1 of Moore Durelle

 

Calzage - Lacy round 3 was amazin' for different reasons, the last round of McLarnin Ross 3 was great aswell, not quite on the level of whats bein' mentioned though

 

23 years ago, yikes

 

Gatti-Ward round 9. Probably the greasst, most gutsiest round of all time

 

..........The three best minutes of fighting I ever saw to this day remains round eight of Saad-Lopez II. I watch it even now, and hold my breath through the whole thing.


Nice thread Pat, I remember this date in 1985 vividly. My most euphoric boxing moment. I think they had in on closed-circuit, which meant I listened to radio updates after every round. The announcer dryly described how Hearns had won "an exciting first round, in which Hagler has been cut" and I hung by the small radio I had by my bedside. Hagler had then won the second round, though they told no details. He then came on a few minutes later to deadpan that Hagler had "won in the third round."

I screamed at the top of my lungs, jumped up and down. My parents thought I'd caught myself on fire or something, I was running around the house pumping my fist in the air. Hagler was my guy, and he'd come though big. Based on the dearth of details, I had no idea exactly how all this had happened, but at that point it hardly mattered.

 

Still Round 1 of Hagler-Hearns. I never get tired of watching that fight!

 

Great fight!! I've been a fight fan since 1964.....no dancing...no waving to the crowd...no shuffles...it was a FIGHT!!!

 

Most likely Hagler-Hearns first round, more action than 3 minutes than you get in most fights.

 

castiilo corales round 10 just incredible

 

Barrera vs Morales first fight round 5 is what comes to my mind although ofcourse Hagler-Hearns round 1 is right up there. I'd read so much about it before I got to see it it felt like a bit of an anti climax, it took a few years to appreciate the intensity of it.
