lol, I have Roger Mayweather's fighter card and I was looking for Floyd Sr, I was gonna have the brothers square off but I either can't find or I don't have Floyd Sr, so I'm settling for Roger Mayweather vs Boza Edwards in a Quizno's parking lot. -

Well, for the sake of this Title Bout promotion, Robbie Sims sure does! He feels like he never got his chance to shine because he was always in the shadow of his big brother, who would never give him a shot at the title.Originally posted by Barnburner View Post

"Sibling Rivalry"
Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs Robbie Sims
January 1987 at the Boston Garden
Scheduled for 12 rounds for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship.
In this "Title Bout" fantasy fight, reigning middlweight champion Marvin Hagler took on the unorthodox challenge of his half brother Robbie Sims. Hagler was coming off his 1986 title defense against John Mugabi and Sims was coming off his 1986 victory over Roberto Duran.
Hagler came out guns a blazing in the 1st and he pounded his younger half brother like an overused sparring partner. Sims was dazed from shots to the head and entered the second round vulnerable to his brother's superior power.
Incredibly, instead of folding in the 2nd, Sims stood his ground and staggered Hagler with an uppercut, the first of many that Sims would sneak in throughout the fight to good effect. Sims also proved there was no love lost between he and Hagler as he went low, and received a warning to keep the punches up.
Hagler, stupefied that own brother would hurt him and hit him low, came roaring back in the second half of the 2nd and staggered Sims with a powerful left hook. Hagler came out quickly in the 3rd and landed a nice combination of punches that caused Sims to buckle. With Hagler pounding on his wounded prey, and with the ref looking closely at the action, Sims landed a desperation uppercut that again hurt Hagler and this time held him off from finishing Sims. The brothers are now going at it, and the fans in Boston love it.
The 4th was dead even as Sims held his own punch for punch against his brother. Hagler won the 5th and continued to build a comfortable lead on the cards. In the 6th, Hagler was warned for rabbit punching as he roughed his brother up inside and won the round easily.
The 7th was a big round for Hagler, who began to really put the punches together. Fatigue began to set in for Sims in the 8th and again Hagler was beginning to tee off on his brother when once again, Sims somehow found an opening for his uppercut and staggered his half brother with it twice to close the round and win it on the scorecards, his first round of the fight.
Sims started the 9th tired and punched out. Hagler took advantage and put together a combination that dropped Sims along the ropes more from pure exhaustion that from the actual punches. Still, Sims is badly hurt but family pride pulls him to his feet at 9. Hagler cannot believe it and moves in for the kill, ending the fight fittingly with a devastating uppercut that drops Sims in a corner where is he counted out at 1:56 of the 9th round.
Result: Marvin Hagler KO9 Robbie Sims
Score at the time of KO: 89-83, all three judges.
Time of KO: 1:56 of Round 9.Last edited by fitefanSHO; 09-09-2011, 05:44 PM.Comment

I do realise that many different results are possible..... In real life, Darcy was a destroyer of his conquerors, he was very ring smart and followed a game plan,... he would learn a lot from a first fight with Hagler..... the fact that he knows he can hurt Marvin will give him impetus,.... he may come in with even worse intentions than Marv.... A series would be a must with these two.Originally posted by fitefanSHO View PostComment

One little thing about Les.... He was destined to fight Light HW's and above,.... he would have been probably better at LHW as he was fast outgrowing the MW division.... He was capable of carrying a lot more weight than Hagler....... a catchweight fight would leave Darcy with a bigger advantage.Originally posted by McGoorty View PostComment
