www.grantland.com/st...12/hagler-vs-leonardAnyone watch the fight when it happened? What's your opinion of the whole thing?
Never got to watch it live. Instead I listened to the play-by-play on the radio. The announcer seemed to think Hagler was winning. Then I heard the decision and just about cried. Once I got to watch the replay I honestly lost my mind and hoped for a different outcome. That's how crazy a fan I was of Marvin Hagler. In '87 I would've been 16 years old and that fight was bigger than any other sporting event on the planet EVER. Nothing in boxing or MMA has ever come close to that. Nothing.
BTW, that was a great read. Thanks.
