For all non-spanish speakers, in the min. 33:11 you can hear Roldan saying: "I can't see anymore, please stop the fight" but the coach replys him: "keep fighting, you can win this, your eyes are not so bad". That was a criminal behavior by the coach but he has orders by Tito Lectoure (an argentinian fight promoter) to do not stop the fight under any circunstance.

I was a huge Marvelous Marvin Hagler fan back in the day. And I remembered the first time watching Juan Domingo Roldan as he knocked out Frank "The Animal" Fletcher. Something in the back of my mind as a fight fan sort of told me that if he and Marvelous Marvin Hagler would square off as they eventually did, Roldan was going to pose quite a few problems for Hagler. Roldan was a much more accomplished boxer than he gets credit for. He was known for his extremely powerful right punch as his nickname "Martillo" confirmed that. For the first three rounds, Hagler was a bit confused as the fight was not initially going according to plan as Roldan was effectively scoring points to Hagler's body and especially to his head. It was unfortunate that Roldan's eye swelled up during that fight, but that's the fight game.

[@mrmagoo491]

Todd Sands Roldan was winning till the eye situation. I think he had a shot at winning till that happened

I definitely agree with you. As stories stated, some thought that it was a controversial thumb from Hagler into Roldan's eye. I think it was totally accidental. There is no way I would believe that as some stated that Hagler may have purposely thumbed Roldan in the eye to change the pace of the match. I was definitely impressed and proud of Roldan's effort against Hagler. Unfortunately, Roldan was never the same fighter after the Hagler bout. As I mentioned, that's the fight game.

Man the last thing you want is to make Marvelous angry.

[@coryburns9161]

I think that is why Ray Leonard never got hurt he never got Hagler angry at most when they fought it was a draw and draw goes to the champ

[@davidbrandel1311]

Roldan was 30 seconds away from winning round 3 which would have put him up 30 - 26 on the judges scorecards. For Hagler to retain his title with a draw he would have needed to win 8 of the last 12 rounds. I'm not saying he couldn't have done it, but he would have needed to fight way more aggressively than he had been up to that point, which would have been the exact fight that Roldan wanted. Marvin totally would have had to change his game plan, which he probably didn't want to do. That eye injury prevented perhaps one of the great fights of all time, as Roldan was gettting hit with punches that he was easily avoiding earlier in the fight. He pretty much had Hagler figured out the first two and a half rounds.

[@jordancooke5980]

@SavageArfad Yup

[@Boogbama123]

He definitely has Hagler going backwards those three rounds which is NOT what Hagler is used to. Hagler always moved forward. Roldan for three rounds nullified Hacker by pressing forward and good head movement

[@johnbrackett5818]

Hagler carried Roldan until the 10th, just like Ali used to do. The paying fans feel they don't get their money's worth if the fight is too short. Hagler never even had to break a sweat.

[@eddyacuna4481]

martillo Roldán fue para mi gusto, el mejor boxeador argentino de esa época. peleó contra los mejores de la época. poca técnica pero valiente y fuerte. El sabía q no era el mejor del ring pero confiaba en su fortaleza y gano bien ese apodo de "martillo"

[@nnandofer1]

Así es, el no tenía el talento de los otros, su talento era su coraje, el buen entrenamiento sumado al coraje hace que ganes muchas peleas, pero tiene un techo, porque si te enfrentas a alguien que es talentoso y ademas se prepara bien para las peleas, entonces bien difícil que lo superes, pero igual, mis respetos por el buen Roldan. Peleo contra Hearns, Hagler, dio batalla, pero paso lo que tenía que pasar, perdió ambos combates, pero puede levantar la cabeza con orgullo.

If you listen closely at the end of the 2nd rd at 9:23 Hagler's trainer tells him not to get discouraged. It sounds like Hagler responds back: " No I ain't I'm just waiting to poke em." I've always wondered what the outcome of this fight would have been had Roldan not had his vision impaired so early in the fight?

[@davidbrandel4128]

[@JoseRamirez-bk7pm]

@jabs69 .. what you say is not true. hagler acted dirty by sticking his thumb in the Argentine's eye. This changed the pace of the fight. Well, until then, Hagler wasn't having a good time at all.

I agree. Been interesting. Not sure Roldan could keep up pace , but man he swings away. Felt sorry it ended this way.

Roldan was such a tough guy. Check out his fight with Hearns for the title. Giys like Roldan and Hamsho didnt have great ability but they were old school tough.

Roldán guapeó pero no le alcanzó, las tenía todas en contra; Marvelous tenia mayor alcance, velocidad, una técnica exquisita y pegada demoledora Gran mérito de martillo haber llegado hasta allí, no cualquiera se las mide con uno de los mejores (si no el mejor mediano) de la historia.

[@matiascs1908]

Hubiera sido genial ver a Hagler contra Monzón, solo que Hagler no llegó a tiempo a desafiarlo porque cuando Hagler fue en búsqueda del título mundial Monzón ya estaba retirado. La primera pelea de Hagler por el título mundial fue en 1979, y Monzón se retiró en 1977.

[@yvaeltercero301]

@@matiascs1908 Certo, luego de Monzón llegaron Corro y Antuofermo, que duraron poco porque eran malísimos. A Monzón no le tocaron rivales tan duros como a Hagler; se las tuvo que ver con Herns y Leonard, dos de los mejores de la historia y tb Roldán y a todos les ganó.

Although Roldan was very strong Hagler was too. Hagler also had speed and skill and he used those advantages to dismantle Roldan round by round without putting himself at much risk. Hagler adapted his style for whatever type of boxer he faced.

Raro ver a Marvin yendo hacia atras... parecia sugar ray... Martillo roldan era un tipo duro...!!! Nadie le tomaba el centro del ring a Marvin

[@elkolo18]

Roldan was about to win the 3 first rounds in a row and suddenly went back with his right eye closed (12:45). At the corner complained of a finger and lack of vision. Lectoure (manager and 1st second) said "pull out his gloves" at his aide. Then changed his mind and asked Roldan not to give up. The rest is history.

[@davidbrandel1311]

Roberto Bobrow No one wants to believe this but I think Roldan knocks Hagler out if his eye doesn’t get injured. Before the eye injury he was easily avoiding Hagler’s punches and after? Not so much. What this video shows are two different fights. If you watch Roldan’s initial reaction it seems pretty obvious that his eye got poked. And the only part of a boxing glove with a surface area small enough to cause that kind of an injury is the thumb. I know most fans will disagree but Marvin dodged a major bullet that night.

I saw something very telling between round 9 and 10 in the corner of Roldan..Roldan obviously gave everything he had left and was pretty much done..he didn't seem to want know more..however his corner was urging him to continue. Here is my assessment and personal analysis at that point..If I was in that corner and realistically thought..that my fighter..Roldan..had a a very good chance of possibly winning the fight in the next couple of rounds..yeah..I'd send him out..but Roldan came into that corner discouraged and not the guy that wanted to win the Undisputed Middleweight championship of the world..and what happened next is history
