    118-110 Leonard over Hagler?

    What's up with that? That was a pretty close fight anyone see it as one sided as that judge did?

    No, it was very close, big error on that score card, I have always felt so aswell. There was however a clear winner...

    ...And that was Marvin Hagler.

        That score was crazy, way too wide. Ironically, that was the judge that the Hagler camp picked.

          Yeah that scorecard is ridiculous. I had Ray winning but there is no way it was 18-10, that is a complete joke. How you could only score 2 rounds of that fight to Marvin is a total mystery to me.

            Really? That's crazy. I thought Hagler definitely took over the fight in the middle rounds. Ray was really tired and didn't get his 2nd wind until the around the 10th.

              I thought Hagler clearly won and that was a highway robbery

                Yup, Jo Jo Guerra was the judge the Hagler camp picked. Backfired on them obviously. I had Leonard winning but it wasn't that wide, I thought Hagler gave the fight away by coming out orthodox in the first 3 rounds.

                  jo jo guerra

                  the judge who voted 118-110, jo jo guerra, was from monterrey, mexico. as a young man he went to chicago for work, and in his spare time, he went to a boxing gym. one day his idol, sugar ray robinson, came into the gym. robinson was preparing for a fight and needed a sparring partner - specifically he needed someone smaller and faster. guerra was chosen to spar with the legendary champion. he could hardly breathe he was so excited. guerra sparred two rounds with the Sugar Man, and never forgot it. He told the story every chance he got, as he grew older and became a boxing judge. Thus, when he was asked to judge the Leonard-Hagler fight, he was honored, because the new Sugar Ray reminded him of his idol.

                  When Guerra scored it 118-110 for Leonard, he was honoring his idol.

                    I had SRL winning but it was a very close fight. An either way kinda a fight. SRL's ability to entertain is what made people believe it was a blow out.
