Marks going back to his roots with this video

[theboxinghistorian]

Ye man that was my initial thing, but people started asking my thoughts on this and that and I just went with the flow. But going to get more retro reports out there, got a few Retro Report stories at the website.

hey amir khan is back on itv what do you have to say about that. i think that tells me he does'nt care about money it was morely frank warren the greedy one

[theboxinghistorian]

First I heard, are you saying the Khan vs. Malignaggi fight will be on ITV, because it's on HBO so I don't see ITV showing it in the early hours.

They may have bought the rights to air a replay.

btw.@boxinghistorian. you can upload videos as long as 10:59 minutes, not just 9:59. (WITHOUT being a youtube partner)

[theboxinghistorian]

yes but sometimes my cam cuts off at 10min.

[LeftHandedToby]

i had it, 8-3-1 for leonard.

Mark, I had it the same, it was close but Hagler threw the harder shots. Leonard was the underdog and the media darling in the US. I feel Hagler needed to really dominate the fight to get the nod.

i had ray winning rds 1-4,hagler 5,ray 6,hagler 7-10, ray 11 and hagler 12, so a draw and hagler keeps the belt... but i think hagler would have beeb a clear winner if he started the fight in his favoured southpaw stance, i can understand how ray got the win bcos he did land more punches but he never visibly hurt hagler at any point, angelo must have tried the old trick with the glove tape at the begining of the 8th like when cooper dropped ali lol

[28rampage]

i just refreshed my memory on this fight hadn't seen the whole fight for a couple of years.. the 1st time i watched the fight i had ray winning 7 rounds to 5 but this time i came to a draw simply bcos i think ray just shaded the 6th, if hagler had came out southpaw from the begining he could have been a clear winner those 2 rounds let ray get comfortable and hagler must regret the decision to fight orthodox for those rounds..cont

I agree 100% with you boxinghistorian that Hagler won that fight. I agree with the scoring as well, 115-114 for Hagler. Hagler was the one who actually made it a fight. All Leonard did was dance around and showboat untill the final 30 seconds of every round where he'd do a rapid-fire combination and "win" the round. But yeah, Hagler won that fight. Peace.
