    Yep, exactly. It was such a ****** move and his corner should have drilled it into him right after he tried it in the first round to "Get the **** outta the orthodox and stay in your lefty. Don't box with him, just come in and get to work!". Really damn ****** thing to do.

    It was a bit sucky that Leonard didn't give him a rematch either but he didn't really give anyone timely rematches unless it was in his favour to do so. It would of been so huge though and one of the biggest rematches in the history of the sport without a doubt. Though I think Leonard knew he had been lucky to steal it with those first few rounds and maybe wouldn't be so lucky in the rematch I guess. He could of always done it again though...? Hard to tell as Leonard had kept his physical traits much better with age than had Hagler. He still had his speed, reflexes and stamina. Hagler had lost quite a lot of his by that stage though.

    Anyway, if it wasn't for those first few rounds of complete arrogance and ******ity by Hagler, it would have been quite a different fight.
    Really hard to say if he could have done it again, he had that one good showing against Lalonde after that he fought Hearns the second time, you could see some degradation of his skills, so maybe if they had fought again after the Lalonde fight and Hagler came in with the right strategy, Hagler could've won.
