Good for Leonard they decided to somehow judge it like an Olympic bout. The first time I'd ever heard Leonard won "based on ring generalship". If you dont think that fight was the fix of the decade, there some land in Florida with no gators at low tide for you.

Can't really state if the fight was fixed or not, but I've watched it several times including live and Hagler was the winner in my opinion.

I watched it with a group of guys and that was surely the consensus, but with Marvin being a local we may have been biased.

I agree.

As a amateur fighter at the time he was one of the few boxers I watched. Weirdly I loved boxing but was not a big fan of watching it.
