Interesting seeing it again, agree, at the time I thought Hagler should have got the nod if only because to take a title, you got to really go in and ‘take it’
Leonard knew he couldn’t risk mixing it too much, that said, he frustrated Hagler, and Hagler couldn’t seem to get the body shots working.
OFCOURSE AN EPIC FIGHT BY BOTH…. MY FEELING IS THAT HAGLER WON IT!!!! I NEVER LIKED LEONARD….DIDN’T SEE HIM WINING DECISIVELY OVER HAGLER.. ESPECIALLY AS THIS WAS CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT. NOP….. i never could respect a flashy dancer /runner /showman like leonard…. HE was always given way too much praise….HAGLER IS SUPERIOR TO ME ….REAL FIGHTER… BOXER AND BRAWLER!

Between these two, along with Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran, this was my favorite time and division in Boxing history.

What a great fight in a great era for boxing. The good old days.
How could they not have brain damage.
118 for Leonard???? was that crazy lady from the GGG v. Canillo fight working back then?
Lol! Exactly my sentiments
