    It was a great win but it goes under the same thing as Duran/Leonard or Ali/Foreman. Leonard, Foreman and Hearns were still prior to learning the whole game when they lost, so part of the losing was that lack of knowledge. Foreman it was punching himself out, even if he was landing nice body punches Ali absorbed them. Leonard it was getting upset and trying to beat Duran at his own game and Hearns not holding and pacing himself.

    Hagler had been inactive since Mugabi, and for Mugabi he looked rusty.
