@spyder2535 are you blind? leonard landed more of his punches then hagler, hagler missed some punches with leonard openly presenting his chin, the stats were was follows, Leonard threw 629 punches and landed 306, while Hagler threw 792 and landed 291 search it up if you think im lying.

3/4 of the punches Leonard threw did not land. Hagler landed harder punches and hurt Leonard. Leonard never once hurt hagler. Leonard homers think every punch he throws lands. Ask them who felt worse the next day. Hagler wore his ass out.

The 12th round goes to Hagler on my card. My final scoring ended 115-114 in favor of Leonard. Watching this fight all the way through, theres no doubt Hagler inflicted a ton more damage than Leonard, but he could have done much more, he wasnt himself that night. Do I think SRL did enough to take the title? No. Absolutely not, and I don't really think that is debatable. When you go to the judges cards though, all you can do is go by the scoring, and Leonard won this fight on points just barely.

This fight was decided when Hagler gave away the first 2 or 3 rounds by fighting 'righty' and not taking Leonard seriously. That was idiotic and a colossal mistake.

@FPSpreston Here's a better question. Would you rather be hit 306 times by Leonard, or 291 times by Hagler? Let's think a little about who hit harder and who was running away and throwing pitty-pat punches for 12 rounds.

Hagler started slow and may have dropped the first 3 rounds. But Leonard ran the whole time. Leonard also got real tired and Hagler won the last 4 rounds easily.

You can't run around the ring against the champ and win. Sorry.

[xpat73]

This was a win for Hagler or a draw at worst. The champion has to get the benefit of the doubt in close matches and I did not think that Leonard did enough. Unfortunately the judges were swayed by Leonard's showboating and pitter patter punches which had ZERO power. Hagler was robbed.

i am sure that duran felt he beat hagler and so did his fans.

I had Hagler winning this fight,I thought he needed to win the last round to avoid a draw and he did.Its a shame that the 12th Hagler lost it in most scorecard cause of that flurry Leonard threw when Hagler had him in the corner and because of the showboating!!!

@thiefzhai but neither of them were in their prime, so that's not a very sensible comment to make now is it?

[CharlyOutsider]

Shame!...Hagler won the fight...a draw at most...

@gjc82071 I agree in the fact that no man dominated and both men boxed very well. I could definitely see where people could score a draw as well. :)
