Very competitive fight but Hagler was in monster mode. Strange stoppage through..I had given Hart the last round! Still, he was very exhausted. That was the only round I gave Hart.

 

Haha, oops. Sorry.

 

I agree, it was an odd ending. This is how I had it when viewing:

Marvin Hagler v Cyclone Hart

Round 1: 5-4 Hagler
Round 2: 5-4 Hagler
Round 3: 5-3 Hagler (Hagler drops Cyclone)
Round 4: 5-4 Hagler
Round 5: 5-3 Hagler (1 point deducted from Hart for hitting after the bell)*
Round 6: 5-4 Cyclone
Round 7: 5-5 Even
Round 8: 5-5 Even
Round 9: Cyclone does not answer the bell for the 9th

*The announcers claimed 3 points had been taken from Cyclone for hitting after the bell. I only saw 2 instances of this infraction and an AP report corroborated this by saying 2 points was deducted from Hart. So my score reflects 2 points deducted although I can't recall the other round of the deduction. It was a round before the 5th, but not sure.

Total: 39-32 Hagler (after 8 completed rounds) Actual scores: 39-35, 38-35 and 38-36 all for Hagler

Not sure how the 3 Philly officials had it so much closer than I, but it is what it is. Rounds 4 and 6 were the best when Cyclone let it rip. The ending was odd with the big argument in Cyclone's corner and then he quits on his stool. Heard differing sides to this story, but still a good but not great fight. But well worth watching.

 

Those Philly judges weren’t going to let a New Englander get the better of a local boy without doing their darn does’t.

I think it was the Philadelphia Inquirer that ran the headline after Mavin got robbed against Boogaloo Watts: Welcome to Philadelphia, Marvin Hagler, haha.

 

BTW, I do agree that Hart looked exhausted, but he once said in an interview that he had hurt Hagler in one of the late rounds and that his trainer Sam Solomon told him to go out for the next round and just box. According to the interview, that's when the arguing between rounds started because he insisted that Hagler was ready to go and that he should go in for the kill but Solomon insisted he just jab and box. I'm not going to dispute anything but just say, he did look exhausted.
