118-110 Leonard over Hagler?

[KILLA RIGHT]

No way i actually had Hagler winnin

[SorceryatCaesar]

I covered the fight for the Boston Globe and scored it for Leonard.

Wish they fought in '85...

Would have been a different result.

Hagler was just a bit past his best in '87. I am a big Hagler fan and admit if their was a rematch in '88 it would have been a similar result.

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.

That's a really interesting story, never heard that one before.

It was a close fight. Judging by most peoples opinions there was no clear winner. So to have it 118-110 is ******. Just goes to show that dumb ass judges have always been there and will always be there.

[CRESCENDOPOWER]

I thought Hagler clearly won and that was a highway robbery

This is probably the most emotional fight in the history of the sport for me, and I refuse to believe that my eyes deceive me. I had Hagler by 2 rounds.

Throwing fancy flurries for the last 30 seconds of each round does not win you a fight!!!

Hagler was robbed!

I seen the fight like 5 times and had SRL winning. I'm gonna go download to decide. Gonna send you my scorecard.

I think with Sugar Ray's style the Judges saw it his way, but the score card is ridiculous. Leonard got ****** up a bit on the ropes even though he managed to fight off of it. It was almost like the Leonard Hearns 2, Leonard knew what the judges liked to see.

Watch it without the sound on. Don't let the croud influence your score. 30 seconds to go in each round, SRL throws a 8 punch combo, maybe 1 or 2 land and the crowd and judges go wild. It's bull****!

Hagler landed the far better shots, Worked harder, Kept coming forward. He won that fight without a doubt. Hagler was the champion and there's no way Leonard did enough in that fight to take the belt from him.
