....not close at all in my opinion. The scorecards looked as if this was a razor close fight, but I saw this fight totally different. Actually I rewatched it yesterday and I scored it 9 rounds to 3 for Hagler with 3 rounds even. I do agree though that quite a few rounds were not one sided, meaning Hagler was not beating up Duran. But Hagler landed all the meaningful, clean punches basically the whole fight.
Don't get me wrong, Duran is awesome: a former lightweight is the only guy who goes the distance with Hagler during his middleweight reign. That being said, Duran didn't connect with a lot of shots during that fight. Yes, Hagler got cut, and Duran won rounds 11 and 12 (close) on my scorecard at the end of the fight, but the story of the fight was to me that Hagler was in control almost every second of the fight.
Antuofermo vs Hagler I for example was a lot closer than Hagler vs Duran.
