R.I.P. To The Marvelous One Marvin Hagler 🙏😞🕊

[@jamesmarshall6619]

I was at the De La Hoya fight with my dad and I remember it so well. It was the under card for a Michael Carbajal fight and if you grew up in Phoenix and were a boxing fan he was one of the biggest names in the state. We were all excited to see De La Hoya as well and we couldn't wait to watch him dominate then when he got dropped we all just had our mouth open in shock, we just couldn't believe it. Then when he quickly got back in it we all went nuts. My dad passed away from cancer in January but this brought back good memories with him, we watched so many great boxing fights together, and it's the one thing I'll miss with him gone.

[@BrandonSLedford]

I'm sorry for your loss James. Its all about those memories ... Cherish them ..Maybe even hang a picture of that fight on your wall idk why that thought hit me but i digress wishing you all the best from Virginia

I remember watching Marvin Hagler's matches with my dad and sister when we were growing up. He had some solid bouts back then.

[@thalion3410]

[@DizGuys]

Same here, watched them 80's era fights with my dad. Hearns was always my favourite, but Hagler was a fine tuned wrecking machine.

[@INYB]

Hagler is IMO the greatest boxer of all time. The Hearns fight was epic.

[@agro2612]

I loved to watch Boom Boom Mancini box. He loved going toe to toe and had some of the greatest fights. He fought a South Korean Duk Koo Kim for his WBA belt I believe that went toe to toe for 14 rounds. It's was a brawl up to Boom Boom knocking him out and then Kim having to go to the hospital and died five days later. Boom Boom never was the same after that and I found out later that on Duk Koo Kim's dressing room door he had put up a sign in Korean that said Kill Or Be Killed. That alone tells you how intense that fight was. I'll never forget it. Two warriors

[@Clubber-Slang]

It's also the reason title fights dropped from 15 to 12 rounds. The referee also committed suicide blaming himself for Kim's death.

[@beatledan858]

The punch by Michael Nunn (#5) was perfect. He clearly had studied the other guy. His footwork shows his anticipation of an opening. Boom. Love it.

[@likilikiki]

Nunn P4P one of the hardest punchers and best boxers in the history of boxing.

[@SeanT649]

Yep I agree that was my favourite too it’s sweet as you like .

[@chriswelcome8102]

That man is Sumbu Kalambay. He beat the likes of Herol Graham, Mike McCallum, Steve Collins, Iran Barkley and a close loss to Ayub Kalule. This was the only stoppage of his career

[@SignalCorps1]

Actually, the effect was great, but the punch was pretty amateurish. Nun’s punch started from way too far back and took a long time to deliver. That KO was more because his opponent left himself unprotected and left his head in one place for way too long.

[@beatledan858]

@@SignalCorps1 We agree on those points. It’s likely two perspectives of the same thing. Moorer found his opponent’s rhythm & tendencies and knew he could set him up for, at the very least, a potential haymaker/KO shot. I don’t particularly like Moorer as a champion though, and neither did the 46-year-old grill master that clocked him on the chin that time. :)
