The Associated Press reported: "Marvin Hagler dominated rounds one through five last night at The Spectrum, including scoring a third-round knockdown. The New England middleweight then cruised in rounds six, seven and eight, and frustrated Cyclone Hart of Philadelphia, who could not come out for round nine. Cyclone Hart was also penalized two points, as twice he hit Hagler after the bell in what looked like deliberate punches."
From the middle rounds on, Hart's corner was in chaos. "They were arguing the whole fight," said promoter J. Russell Peltz. "At one point, I heard Hart tell his trainer, Sam Solomon, 'Aw, the hell with it. Why don't you just throw in the towel?'"

That was when Philadelphia ruled boxing. I used to box at the 23rd PAL (Joe Frazier's gym) back in the early 70s as an amateur and that was in the days of Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts, Willie "The Worm" Monroe, "Gypsy" Joe Harris and of course, Jimmy Young.--mike

Very unsatisfying ending. They didn't exactly match Hagler "soft' did they?,Hart is a beast. Reminds me of fully obel, another guy Hagler would prob like to forget.

Marvin destroyed Fully Obel twice in title defenses. Suspect those were very pleasant memories for Hagler.
