How in the world did one judge have Leonard-Hagler 118-110 for Leonard?

Adalaide Byrd anyone? Very similar....
Canelo, like Leonard, was the media darling, and definitely one the judge would favor
GGG, like Hagler, was expected to defeat his opponent; so when it was close he is downgraded relatively speaking. They judged both G and Hagler against expectations as opposed to what happened in the ring.Comment

This is a good point. Hagler was not as prominent, nor as wealthy as Leonard. He fought for peanuts for most of his career, and people didn’t recognize how great he was until the very end. He also lived and trained in Brockton, Massachusetts, and I can’t imagine living in a dump like that in the 70s and 80s. Leonard was simply more handsome, a better communicator, marketed himself exceptionally well, and came across as a generally nice person, which I’m sure he is.
All Hagler did was win fights with a cast iron chin and a tricky style that was almost impossible for opponents to counter. The Leonard-Hagler fight could have gone either way, and I understand any fight fan’s resentment at Leonard’s immediate “retirement.”
I always respected Hagler for walking away from boxing the way that he did, with his health intact, moving to a new country and becoming an actor. Hagler struck me as an extremely intelligent, disciplined, confident man. He stayed in the same weight class his entire career, an extraordinary feat of self-denial, as losing weight gets harder for men as they get older. To the best of my knowledge, he had no drug problems or other sordid scandals in his life, which a lot of athletes do.
Still POed he died immediately after being in robust health still in fighting weight after taking the Corona Virus shot that got covered up by the media as happened with Charlie Pride, Hank Aaron, and Colin Powell, all some of the most amazing American heroes in their fashion...grrrrrr...Comment

Hagler did not die from the Corona virus vaccine.

Good for your family that you survived your shot as did they. Count your blessings and move on to a more productive life than rattling that BB around your noggin like a baby rattle.Comment

Never took a shot, and here I be. Not so Marv, Charlie Pride, Hank Aaron, and Colin Powell who expired shortly after taking the jab.
I deduce given your struggle with basic boxing statistics, that you're lost at sea over vaccine research. Maybe you wash up on an island with lots of coconuts for you to understand...Comment
