What a crazy back and forth action packed battle that would be. Haglers durability having to soak up a Locket Rocket. Very tough fight for both. Hagler would probably tough it out for a close decision
After a strong start from Hagler, Lockett brings his signature intense late round pressure and Hagler just makes it to the final bell, holding on for a close (maybe even controversial) tight UD. The crowd boos the decision and throws pop at him as he celebrates (ala Alan Minter).
Yes, I feel Hagler deciding to stop boxing and go in to brawl mode late is where Gary will come on strong, with his rockets, and possibly give up a close decision..
Lockett could also direct some obscene language at Hagler at the first bell, hurting his feelings slightly.
I thought Rhodes was a good opponent for Alvarez but it seems like another easy fight, especially since I just saw he lost to Lockett, who hasn't fought since Pavlik beat him. Any insight on Rhodes would be appreciated.
You're looking at his loss? Go look at his other recents fights, man. I think he loses, but I don't think it's an EASY fight.
