Friday Night Fights time again. We figured with out preview on Pacquaio/Bradley centering around it’s similarities to the showdown between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns, why not feature a Hagler fight? There isn’t ever a bad time for a Hagler fight, cause the cat was a scrapper through and through. Not that he was some no talent, skill lacking bum that was willing to put his body on the line. As you’ll see in his fight with John “The Beast” Mugabi, Marvin had a way to still have a scrap whilst exhibiting his world class boxing ability. Round 6 of this is particularly thrilling. We think you’ll enjoy.

Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns are two of the names that make up that legendary quartet of 80’s fighters. The other two of course are Roberto Duran and “Sugar” Ray Leonard. But that’s another time, let’s focus on what is in front of us right now. Hagler versus Hearns, the fight that went on to be known simply as “The War” and after watching all two and a half rounds of this fight you’ll understand. Hearns exhibits his beautifully fluid movement throughout the first round while Hagler says “ya, you can dance, but I’ll knock your goddamned head off”. And that’s precisely how the fight plays out, with the “Motor City Cobra” showcasing his infamous boxing technique while Hagler just continues to come through everything. At the end of the first round there’s a stat regarding Hagler’s last loss: it was almost ten years before. Enjoy.
