    Yes this has been done a thousand times.


    I'm about to watch the fight again, and score it myself. I'm just interested to see who had who winning.

    Leonard, it was a close fight. An argument can be made for Hagler, but to call it a robery is just wrong.

    Scored it a draw. Had two even rounds, which I hate giving, but sometimes, such few punches landed, I felt I had to. Same with Hopkins-Calzaghe.

    Leonard 7-5 the last time I saw it. I say that as a much, much bigger fan of Hagler's than Leonard's as well.

    If Hagler and Leonard had fought earlier in the 80s, Leonard loses. I think Leonard felt this way as well.

    This is a good piece to read about the events leading up to the fight, and a little about the fight itself and what happened to both guys later.

    Cheers guys, and as a follow up question, do you score it the same way every time you watch it?

    115-113 Hagler. I'm a WAY bigger Leonard fan than Hagler fan. That is just who I score it for every time I watch it.

    SRL he was letting his hands go and doing a good job of 'stealing' rounds that Hagler was edging but he was landing quite a bit with those flurries.

    This is the way I saw it. LOL, at people who think a shoeshine at the end the round is enough to win it. I thought it was close but very clear for MMH and I was a HUGE SRL fan (and still am)

    Good question, no, i've scored it at various times 116-112 Leonard, 115-113 Leonard and 114-114. My concensus opinion is 115-113 Leonard.
