    Didn't someone massage Hearn's legs before Hagler and they said that affected him negatively?

    Yeah, but from what Stewart said, that was a proper, muscle-pulping massage that didn't just relax the muscles, but stressed and weakened them too.

    The kind of rubbing/massaging that trainers to their fighters just before the fight is much lighter.
