I was a junior in high school in 1985 and my father and I watched that fight together. We were going nuts and at the end of round one we found ourselves hanging on to one another in front of the tv ! We were so stoked after that fight that we stayed up till 2am. I miss my pop!
R.I.P. To PoPs!!!!1
Amen
And the question is .... who won ? And did they have any energy left for the remaining rounds ?
I miss your pop too the way you just told that story!
Hagler knocked Hearns out in the third round. Hearns broke his hand in the first round as well.
"There was no boxing at all, just fighting." Epic quote
....AND "This is still the first round!!" This fight earned great quotes.
so wrong, there was a lot of boxing in there.
IT WAS WARFARE!!!!!
In my opinion this is the most exciting boxing match of all time,,it was an all out war
@@dagan8659 Yeah it was as technical as it was violent, calculated as it was courageous. A fight where one mistake or moment of doubt both men had the ability to shut each other off, staying focused while missiles scream past your ears.
If the question is "What's so great about boxing?" then the answer is "Hagler v. Hearns RD1"
For me, it was the golden era of boxing. Thomas Hearn, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, all legends. With these two especially, we all knew we were going to get a brawl. Thank you Marvelous Marvin and Hitman for the show and the memories. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
It was definitely the greatest middle weight class of all time, I mean Boob Boom Mancini, John The Beast Magabi, Wilfred Benitez, Iran Barkley, Michael Nunn, Julian Jackson, and another Italian cat whose name eludes me. No other weight class in history can compare to what was in the middleweight division in the 80's.
@@34blackula I believe you might be thinking about Nino Benvenutti.
Definitely the Golden Era, across multiple weight divisions, and you didn't have to wait 2 years for a title defense. Most of em fought everyone that came along.
@@34blackulaHector Macho Camacho
Fabulous Four
This is a real man’s sport. Respect to anybody that steps into the ring.
mma is a real mans sport, boxing is just cte central
@@alexrosero7055 rolling all over the floor when you're losing a stand up is manly.. ok
@@kykise1395 One calf kick or takedown would destroy any boxer, you can say how "manly" it is but we all know mma is real fighting only without eye gouging and groin shots.
@@aidan2139 no such thing as "real fighting". A fight is as real as it gets
@@kykise1395 And? Boxing =/= Fight keep coping
I can imagine them both going back to their corners and both coaches saying "What the fuck are you doing?" 😂
Just two of the greats standing and banging baby
Maybe Emmanuelle Steward. In Hagler's corner at least; this is the Plan
@John Loughlin Hearns unfortunately, could not
Hagler coaches probably wouldn’t give a fuck, man had a chin made of fkg titanium and his heart was easily the best in boxing history beside Arturo Gatti
I was just about to leave the exact comment.
I just came here after hearing the terrible news. RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler. You were one of the greats!!!
Rip yell
MARVELOUS.
Very sad... he was such a great fighter, one of the best of all time. Just such a tremendous athlete and tough fighter.
Same here. RIP warrior.
Nobody telling Marvin you ain't coming in these pearly gates.
And to think that we got to watch all these great fights, on TV, for free. It didn't get any better than this......
Sad everything is ppv now
This fight was a PPV. I know because we ordered it back in the day.
@@shadowsayer1516 It was a great fight for sure.
The fact those men were still standing after taking those blows just shows how tough they really were. Being able to fight is one thing but being to take a punch and keep coming is another. RIP Marvin Hagler.
Coach: “Alright, just feel him out this first round.”
Round 1:
The PROBLEM in today's world is that the BIBLICAL GOSPEL and way of SALVATION are hardly known and are not plainly and clearly taught. And the KING JAMES BIBLE declares that if this gospel is hid you then you are lost ( 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV). The majority of "pastors", "preachers", " Christians", and other "Men of God" do not even know where the GOSPEL is found plainly in scriptures or tell you simply and fully how to be SAVED, but will have you buy a never ending amount of books and unless things and will lead you down rabbit holes to nowhere that never tell you plainly and simply how to be SAVED or the whole GOSPEL , they only make merchandise out of you ( 2 Peter 2:1 - 3 KJV ). This is an ALARMING, SHAMEFUL , and GRIEVOUS problem...
Plain and simple the GOSPEL is: JESUS CHRIST DIED for our SINS , He was BURIED, and he He ROSE again the THIRD day ( 1 Corinthians 15:1- 4 KJV). NOTHING ELSE. This is the single utmost IMPORTANT thing you need to know in LIFE. Because knowing and putting your FAITH and BELIEF in it ONLY, is what SAVES you from your SINS and an ETERNITY in HELL.
The BIBLICAL way of to be SAVED is to:
• Sincerely REPENT ( feel SORRY/ GRIEF/ SORROW / PAIN) for your own SINS:
( 2 CORINTHIANS 7 : 9 - 10 KJV, & PSALM 34 : 18 KJV, PSALM 38 : 17- 18 KJV, & MARK 1: 14 - 15 & 2 : 17 KJV).
• Sincerely BELIEVE, TRUST, and put your FAITH in in ONLY the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST the SON of GOD to SAVE you from your SINS:
• Sincerely call upon the name of the LORD to be SAVED:
( LUKE 18 : 13 - 14 KJV, & 1 JOHN 1 : 9 KJV, JOB 33 : 29 - 30 KJV, & ROMANS 10:8 - 13 KJV).
REPENTANCE ( GODLY SORROW ), BELIF of the GOSPEL, and calling upon the name of the LORD all 3 go hand in hand together and all 3 happen naturally. No one is PROMISED tomorrow, MANKIND is NOT going to make going to make the WORLD get any BETTER, and TIME is SHORT;
GOD'S HORRIFIC JUDGMENT is quickly APPROACHING this WICKED EVIL world to DESTROY it, and the ONLY way to be SAVED from DESTRUCTION is to SINCERELY REPENT, SINCERELY BELIEVE the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST, and SINCERELY call UPON the name of the LORD for MERCY and SALVATION! Now is the ACCEPTED TIME; Behold, now is the DAY of SALVATION!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@fredbohm4728 you sound mad
Hagler and Hearns stepped into the ring and said, "To hell with the coaches' instructions and all the preparations. If we die, we die!"
It seems that way, but Hagler confessed that his corner convinced him to fight this way (attacking Hearns) and perhaps exposing himself to a tremendous counterattack blow because they knew that Hearns had neither good defense nor good jaw
@@DanielSuarez-jq6tl
Not to mention that Hearns was known for turning his back on opponents and that was a bad sign of him being outboxed.
That ref worked harder in that first round than most refs work a whole fight
@@DanielSuarez-jq6tl this fight proves he had a good jaw. He took some haymakers and lasted longer than most.
@@dmncnlou In many fights that Hearns was winning a blow hurt him, he did not have a good jaw. It is not true that it lasted longer than most. Only 17 of Hagler's 67 rivals (many unknonwns)lasted less than Hearns (3 rounds!)
"THIS IS STILL ONLY THE FIRST ROUND!!!"
-- An all-time great call by the legendary Barry Thompson.
He said the same thing during the 1st round of Arguello-Pryor 1, which was also a great round and fight.
The average person doesn’t understand how much energy these guys use throughout the duration of a 12 round fight.
This amount of energy used in round 1 is beyond conception… these men are both top notch athletes, no question, and hearts of steel
I get knackered just making a cup of tea! ☕😂
Yeah that is insane, i train twice a week, after round 1 of that intensity I would be on the ground and I would need 10 minutes before I could do anything hahaha
@@eddard9442
😂👍
Great comment. To set up and throw the bomb over and over again...both guys. I love watching Hearns in his fights because he does that time and time again...set up, and throw the bomb. It takes a ton of effort and energy. Hagler was just incredible as well. Amazing chin, tough as nails, heavy, heavy hitter.
I don't think anyone can truly understand how brutal that was. They were at the limits of what human beings are capable of. There will NEVER be a round of boxing like that again. Two all time greats giving it absolutely everything.
37years later and I've still got shivers and goosebumps watching that.
Damn, has it really been that long?
I cringed at the bombs they were throwing! Dang
Sometimes when I need a pick me up I watch that first round. I thought Alexis Arguello vs the Hawk Aaron Pryor was a hell of a first round👏👏. 💯🥊🥊👍👍💯
Sometimes when I need a pick me up I watch that first round. I thought Alexis Aurgello
YES!
Even the ref had outstanding footwork
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
I went and watched again after this comment to see how the ref was moving
I just noticed the same thing then seen your comment hehehe he looks like he has a fight or 2 under his belt.
1:20 There's no way I'd want to get beween them two to split them up.
With tears I must admit, watching this great fight between two immortal legends of the noble art RIP Marvin!!
Why you crying? Neither one could block a punch! Great offensive fight, but no sustained defense...
hey marvin is my name
Marvin won the fight against Sugar Ray Leonard too.
@@CC-jl7jzyessir he did !
With tears ??? LOL. Pull yourself together . Don’t be ridiculous
I just got off the phone with my grandpa and he told me I should watch this fight, I’m glad he called me!
The golden age of middle weight boxing. Hearns, Hagler, Leonard and Duran. To this day, the best boxing I have ever seen.
STRAIGHT BRAWL...ALL BALLS... DETERMINATION... GLORY... GRIT ... HEART.. REFUSAL AND WILL..👊🥊👊💯💯💯😲😳😬😤😠💙❤🙏🙌🙏
Yup reasons I left for ufc. Once cotto wars era was over sad
You sir....are absolutely CORRECT!!!
Amen.
Great stugg
Came to watch this round after hearing of Haglers passing - what a legacy.
Me too!😢r.i.p legend🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Lazio l ignorance at its finest
@Lazio l I bet you think your real tough talking shit behind a screen. You punk.
@Lazio l you just a bitch
Same. Greatest round of boxing in history.
What a round! Can we all take a moment and appreciate the referees footwork through that round!
Richard Steele wasn't it?
Jesus loves you so much he died for you! So turn to him before its too late!!!
@@sakuparkkonen2959thats emotional blackmail
2 of the sports greats
@@sakuparkkonen2959 how can a mythological character love you??
My dad loved this fight, just non stop action. I like to watch it from time to time and relive that excitement watching it with him. Miss you dad! Amazing boxing war.
After watching his fight with Sugar Ray Leonard I owe a lot to Marvin Hagler this is a man I have never met but he inspired me to believe in myself as a misguided 10 year old walking into a boxing gym for the first time! I wanted to be just like him look like him with the bald head and everything He changed my life I was definitely headed down the wrong path today I'm proud father/husband and retired military veteran! And none of that would have been possible without Marvelous Marvin hagler's inspiration at least not for me! Rest well champ you did your job honorably!
Awesome brother! Thanks for your service and God bless you and your family!
God Bless you
Well said, and you’re a champ in your own right!
beautiful, man
God bless you sir. Thank you for your service.
How bout a shout out to the ref’s footwork. He’s living in the moment like he’s fighting
You're so right! We always forget "the third man". I love his movements. He's dancing around!
He’s right on those clinches too!
That looks like Richard Steele, who should be in the Boxing HOF!! He did every great, great fight.
@@mjp96 it is Steele and he is in boxing hall of fame
I noticed that too
I’ve watched this round about 50x over the years
Absolutely brutal
This round made me fall in love with boxing age 10. I cried at the bravery of both warriors. They don't make them like these two anymore 🙏
Most amazing part of that fight is that it was on free TV on a Saturday afternoon.
PPV killed boxing's fan base
Proof that life was better then.
No, it was on closed circuit in arenas and in home PPV.
@@hankonfire That"s right, I paid 20.00 Cdn, back in the day. They would often show the replay for free back then on network tv a few weeks later. I think Micky Ward was on the undercard, back when he was undefeated.
This a replay as the live closed circuit broadcast had Al Michaels and Al Bernstein. This was only available live in the US via closed circuit. It was on regular TV in Puerto Rico as I was in San Juan for work and watched the fight in my hotel room. To this day, the most brutal fight I’ve ever seen.
Hagler, tougher than a $5 steak. A historic battle of old school warriors
Bri R yes sir
Tougher than a $5 steak 😂
NOW THAT HAS TO ME TOUGH!!!
When boxing was a real sport not a damn spinoff of wwf.
I like that. I'm stealing that one👍
I was 15 when this fight happened, absolutely incredible my father & I could not stop talking about it
I'm 60 years old and that was the greatest round of boxing I've ever seen in my life from two of the greatest fighters in history
100% correct Sir. I've only been involved in boxing for 35 years and have never seen a better round. My favourite KO was Michael Nunn vs Sumbu Kalambay.
Have you seen all three of these fights, including this round? ruclips.net/video/D5mRv3xGY80/видео.html
Watched this with my dad. Hagler was his favorite fighter. One of the best. Hearns was great too. Legends. Miss ya dad.
Honorable comment
Ahh bless you mate! Miss my Dad everyday as well let's hope our sons love us half as much!
Your Father was a good judge ,Hagler is my favourite fighter
Hagler was also my favorite fighter. I watched it on Pay Per View with friends the first time, then when it finally came on free tv, watched it with my dad. Legendary. Watching tonight, and I'm not sure I thought this way in the past, this classic round of boxing was won by Hearns. Didn't Hit Man also break his hand in that round?
They certainly were legends really good nice comment your dad sounded as if he knew his boxing ...topman 🙏
I was at this fight. Ringside seat cost me $400..It was AWESOME!!!
One of the best match ups evaaaaaaaaa!! I love Marvelous Marvin Hagler. He had a store in Brockton Mass. that sold t-shirts and sweat shirts, hats, etc. Just an outstanding boxer.
Wow! I remember watching this live as a teenager. WHAT A FIGHT!!!!!!
Prove it.
Ringside was 2k .
No you weren’t 🤣🤣
not only one of the GREATEST 1st round openings ever. But they both fought harder than most modern 15 round matches in the first 3 minutes
You ain’t lying!!!!!!
I don’t know the Ali vs Frazier trilogy was in my opinion some of the best fights ever you see the first round in this fight. Well guess Ali and Frazier were non stop going at it for 14 rounds at this exact same pace
@@RahimmacDonald agree. Ali Frazier - their first and third fights were better than this in my opinion. People rave about this fight and deservedly so but it's not the greatest fight of all times.
These two men fought like life dependent on it just violent and beautiful
Broke my heart when I heard Marvelous Marvin Hagler passed away a few months ago. Hagler remains my all time favorite fighter and I have been a boxing fan for over 50 years. My old army buddy Pepper Roach and I drove up to Boston from Ft. Bragg in 81 to see his brother Freddie Roach and Hagler fight in the Boston Garden. It was Hagler's first title defense after he demolished Alan Minter in London in the 3rd round and won the middleweight title. Freddie fought on the under card and I met him that night and also his trainer, the late great Eddie Futch. So it was a great night for me. Both Freddie and Hagler won their fights that night. Hagler destroyed a very tough and game Fulgencio Oblemejias that night in the 8th round. It was brutal as Pepper and I were sitting close to ringside. I'll never forget that night. Hagler then KO'd him again in 5 rounds a year later. I also watched this Hagler vs. Hearns fight in the Fayetteville, NC Auditorium during the old closed circuit days before pay per view. I liked Tommy Hearns also but knew Hagler would be too much for him. I was never a betting man, but several of my army buddies in my unit were sure Hearns would win, even after I explained how Hagler was just too strong of a boxer-puncher for Tommy. They would not listen and all wanted to bet me so I could not turn down their free money as I knew it would be easy money in my pocket and I was right. They all came up to me the next day and paid up too and told me it went just like I said it would. It was 400.00 total from all of them, four guys. That was a lot of money to me back then in 85 and still is now actually. Well, thats my story. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler, you were the greatest fighter ever!
Dude you are amazing
@@katsuki7009 This fight was a war. As much as I loved Hagler, I also loved to watch Tommy's quick jab and lead off left hooks, no one to this day does it better. One of the best fights in boxing history. Hagler was a terminator machine.
Pepper was only 47 when trained with him in LA in '06.
I thought he was 60!
@@tomwalker389 Pepper and I had a lot of great times together when we were in the army at Bragg. He taught me how to box in the old FT. Bragg Boxing gym that doesn't exist anymore. Well, its still there, just not a boxing gym. My wife hated when Pep and I went out together back then (80-82) cause she knew we were probably going to end up in a bar fight somewhere and she was worried about us getting into trouble. We did get into a few. I was out there visiting him in 2000 and went to the Wildcard with him and I saw him a few years ago in some RUclips videos; yep, he has aged a bit. Take care Leon.
Either one of these great, great fighters would have mopped up the ring with Mayweather.
Rest in peace Marvelous Marvin Hagler, true gladiator
I am still shocked. RIP to a great champion
Best word to describe him. Gladiator.
Amen...
@@tristandaniel You? I just turned 65, last weekend. Makes you grateful for every sunrise you're "blessed" to SEE... Facts. RIP
@@jogman262 Warrior, Gladiator, they both "fit," to me. First time I ever got a glimpse of Marvin (busy man back then, wife/kids/family/work thing) was at the magazine rack at a store. There was a copy of RING magazine with him on the cover, his face looking like someone attacked him with a damn hammer; it (his face) was a bloody PULP! It was after the second Antifermo fight, if I recall. I thought to myself, if he WON, WHAT does the OTHER GUY'S face look like! Truestory... RIP, MH...
This is my favourite round in boxing history. I never get tired of watching it 😊😊
After watching Errol and Crawford... I'd have to say, this was the best 1st round in boxing I've ever seen ever... not one sided just 2 monster slugging it out
Hagler was as tough as we’ve ever seen. Those shots from Hearns knockout 99% of other fighters back then
Those shots knock out 99% at anytime not just back then.
Daygostylz except duran
oscar27ization except Duran??? Did you see what Hearns did to Duran??
Qwerty Uiop yeah I think they’re still looking for Duran’s head after that shot from Hearns...
@@Daygostylz LMAO!!! A year after Duran fought Hearns, he was overheard still asking what truck ran over him!! When you ask what punch he KOd Duran with, I'm reminded of that mattress company, SLEEPnumber!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Best round in the history of boxing RIP Marvellous Marvin
He has gone can not believe it
I agree with you there Mr Williams . Those guys were warriors . Unlike the crop of fighters we see these days, who hand pick their opponents, and make sure their well past their best .

Totally Lost 💔 can't believe it
middleweight s today wouldnt make pimple on either one of these guys ass dam they're makin me tired just watchn them
I must have watched that legendary first round over 60 times but decided to pay attention to the referee who was also caught up in the excitement.
I boxed a little in high school in the mid 2000s. My dad told me about the greatest boxing match he ever saw. Hagler vs Hearns. Thanks to RUclips I get to watch it. It really is a great round of boxing.
I grew up watching boxing too I love it,I still say that Marvin Hagler is the greatest southpaw fighter of all time, I love to watch old boxing matches, since you enjoy boxing too who do you think the greatest boxer of all time is in your opinion I have a few boxers that I think are the greatest jack Johnson and Joe Louis and of course Muhammad Ali I like other boxers but in my personal opinion I just love these 3 in the ring they are really entertaining to watch
This was the golden age of boxing. Thomas Hitman Hearns, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran. Best ever

You said a mouthful!!!
Can you say that again
The most ferocious round in modern boxing history! What amazing ring gladiators, fast, furious & hard as nails. Legendary!
Every now and then, you have to come back and watch this fight.
Damn....
What an era, Hagler, Hearns, Sugar Ray, Durran, Chavez,and so much more, legends of boxing
I think better that any of the great heavyweight eras, with the exception of Ali/Frazier...
When those guys and Ali retired, I quit watching boxing...
Agreed. And nobody dodged anybody.
Don't forget Barrara Morales 1 and 3
And the awesome guy no one seems to know about that deserves respect - Wilfred Benitez, the man that took Leonard and Hearns to 15 rounds and beat Roberto Duran.
One of the commentators said 'that was a whole fight in one round'.
Amazing fight, both men gave everything.
I have watched so many fights but has there been or will there ever be a round like this one? The physicality, the speed, the number of power shots, clean shots, the intensity and ferocity for the entire 3 minutes. Just incredible.
I love how the ref let them box! Jump in only when necessary and let the greatness play out.
Rest In Peace, Marvelous. The greatest middleweight of all time.
A legacy including the best 1st round in boxing history RIP.
I’m almost in tears. Fuck this hurts

He was very quite, didn't show his face much. But I've been a huge fan of his ever since, it's sad that we won't see him around anymore.
You could hit Marvin with a bat and he’d keep coming. Iron chin and iron will. Warrior through and through. RIP champion
Best chin in the entire history of boxing......I seriously doubt a 2×4 could've even hurt this great champion......my alltime favorite pugilist......rest in peace Marvelous

@@mr.majestic2667 I'd have to disagree. I've seen Ali hurt a few times, and I only seen Hagler get stunned, not hurt, but stunned one time and that was in this fight by a Hearns right uppercut; Hagler shook it off quick and was right back at him.
@@Ghost10_ you are correct sir. This and the Mugabe fight were the closest I ever saw Marvin to.actually going down and ... he wasn't really at risk of hitting the canvas even here. Cranium like a piece of granite and a chin of iron.

RIP indeed to my favorite fighter of all time and the toughest SOB I've ever seen step into a ring.
The rivalry between Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Leonard represents one of the most glorious pages in boxing history. Without a doubt, their fights moved us and made many of us unconditional fans of this thrilling sport. RIP Marvelous, a great among the greats!
100% leivan
And Benitez, who fought them all except Marvelous.
The Four Kings 🤴
Yup. And Duran, the best ever, was really a light weight.
PREACH!!!!!! That was one of the best eras of boxing ever!
I love the way they eyeball each other just before the fight. Priceless.!
The greatest first round of all time
They're throwing down like they've both caught each other cheating with their wives. EPIC
Great comment lol
Rip
To me, there were no losers in this fight. They both won.
Thank you Marvin and Tommy, you gave us the greatest and most entertaining match in Boxing history.
Yeahhhhh…..
I kinda think that T.K.O. 🥊
pretty much Solidified
The Champion.
R.I.P. MARVELOUS MARVIN !
Add in Duran and Sugar Ray, and you have the greatest boxing rivalries in history, all divisions included. Shit now is nowhere close, sadly.
Sorry but there are winners and losers in boxing. No soft shit
@bastiat lolol, I forgot to respond to your nonsense at the time...
Hagler is IN the f-ing video, and where are the epic rivalries involving Tyson? Maybe practice your reading comprehension skills.
@bastiat HAHAHAHA TYSON FURY😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both of these men were highly skilled, technical masters. But they both said “fuck it” and decided to go to war. Love it.
I watched it live on giant closed circuit screen ..... at the end of round one the entire arena jumped to their feet and everyone screamed and did back flips
Can't take nothing from Hearns , he gave Hagler war for three rounds.
No doubt.
@Yaany Abdali agree .. no way could mayweather beat even one of the fab 4 from the 80s
Hearns
Haggler
Sugar Ray
Duran
Hagler was my favorite, and a VERY close second was the Hit Man Hearns. Those were the days.
we would have seen even greater Thriller had not broken his hand in this very first round
@@deangruwell6555 He could beat them all. Folks really have to pay attention to Floyd. He's WAY better than he's given credit for. These guys wouldn't touch him at all. His skill level surpasses all of them by a large margin. These guys were tough, but were mostly skilled rock em' sock em' robots. He would take them out of their game plans quick and they would all be frustrated.
At 57. I've watched so many fights of so many greats. I still smile every time I watch this spectical of great hearted warriors. A special joy to be appreciated.
yeah man, Im the same age as you, we grew up on theis stuff , hagler hearns sugar ray, and then came tyson.......just brilliant brilliant stuff.
You ve watched a lot of fights . . . okay? Have you been in any or actually done anything having to do with fighting or are you just a fanboy that idolizes fighting?
SPENCE AND PORTER TRIED... THURMAN AND GARCIA TOO
@@4sername fanboy yeah wtf ,who are u Charlie zelinof
Now we get to see the legendary battles
This was an era of "Huge" events....People weren't walking around with their face buried in their phones...They weren't preoccupied on their laptops and dating sites...These were stellar days...You went to "real" places and met "real" people... I watched this fight live on tv...The build up was epic...The fight was epic, possibly the best few rounds in boxing history...You will rarely find two warriors of this caliber face off with such skill and bravado, coupled with warrior spirits and displayed in unparalleled fashion....To quote half of Dickens, "These were the Best of Times."....RIP Marvin Hagler and thank you Tommy the Hitman, for bringing it all and leaving it all in the ring...I stand and say bravo gentlemen...Bravo!!!!!
I say there's has NEVER been a fiercer first round than this one.
Mike Tyson was laying people out in the first round 😂
may _ lay trucker this was more savage in the exchanges
Absolutely 🥊
Logan paul vs ksi was greatest fight all time though
Azbycxdwevfugthsirjqkplomn McPinth stfu
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Hagler was a beast.
@gblueslover2 truth!
@G Alaniz .... Marvelous Marvin Hagler is arguably the most underrated Middleweight Champ of all time. His “loss” to Leonard was a crime.... they stole the belt, he didn’t lose it
I loved how hagler was always the aggressor, always moving forward ..
@@robertnewell4054 Well for having not fought in a few years, & not taking any tuneup fights....Leonard Won! It was Shocking, but even if it was ruled a draw, impressive.
@Titanicus FirePower .... Leonard was given the Belt due to his popularity & place in Boxing Hierarchy. Traditionally when fighting a long standing unified champion YOU MUST WIN DECISIVELY..... that wasn’t the case. Well Leonard might have thrown more punches Hagler decidedly threw harder & more effectively. Staggered the man & had him on his bicycle. It was one of the worse decisions in boxing history
This is my first time seeing this fight …… WOW!🔥
Knew it was gonna be a brawl from the face off 😅 rip Marvin .
i just learned of the passing of Marvelous Marvin Hagler ... rest in peace, champ ... this round imo is, no doubt, the greatest round in boxing history! the level of punching power exchanged relentlessly between these two champions in this round is staggering!
Yeah, great round! Imo it’s Gatti vs Ward round 3. Maybe because I watched it live
@@wesheckler9805 round 9. Round 3 of the 2nd fight was nuts too
ALL THREE--FACT...
@@fvgc454ss yeah, I was torn between those two rounds.
Ah, so that’s why this appeared in my YT recommended videos. Sad to hear.
RIP dad. Still remember watching this together
wow man I feel ya, teary eyed both my fathers died young rt behind each other months apart. but in this age of boxing respect was heavy. we all watched the fight together all my brothers uncles and fathers. deep.
Condolences 🙏 and prayers for your lost. Glad you're able to remember and cherish that moment and memories together. What a great 1st RD
Same here, we got up early to watch this figh heret in SA, good times!
Mee too. In Italy was very late, but we woke up to watch this beautiful fight
A superior black boxer being trained by Italians.......
Best of the best all time, met at the same time..
Both fighters gave their best. But I have to highlight the greatness of Tommy Hearn. In the first round he suffered a broken arm but he kept giving a good fight two rounds more. Wao!
He broke his right hand on Hagler's head, not his arm.
0:39 Hearns broke his right hand on that first hard punch that rocked Hagler. But like a man, he never used it as an excuse for losing. He always gave Hagler his due.
Did not no he broke his hand 😂 love hagler. To fab fighters
Jonathan Blaze True.And that is class.
@@Granto-ni9qw I think he broke his hand with there gloves collided when hearns was on his back against the ropes
Sean Keys true , it was confirmed that his hand was broken .
@@ts99forever back in the day I didn't get to see that fight live it was ON TV pay-per-view my brother had woken me up about 1am and said hers got knocked out in the third round and I felt devastated, but once I got to see the fight that first round was so brutal I was still proud of Tommy and though he lost I felt a lot better once I seen the way he went all out,
I’m from England and I remember setting the alarm clock to listen on the radio early in the morning, the excitement of listening to this fight is hard to describe, just awesome. God bless Marvin Hagler he gave us so much, so sad 🙏🏻👌
Boxing on radio being exciting just the thought of that nowadays makes me happy for what was and sad we may never get it again. All you needed was noise and it was classic
Boxing on the radio is class!! Especially with a good commentator... Sounds like a real blood bath! 😅
As a kid back in the 80s I'd listen to the big American fights with my radio under the bedcovers late at night. There was something magical about it.
@@mrhed0nist magical yes Tam and something you never forget 😉
Omg yes. I remember listening to the boxing commentary on bbc radio 2 in the 80 on my walkman.
Three of the greatest rounds in all of boxing history. Period. I watched this live and I was stunned. My grandfather, my uncle and I were all yelling at the tv till we were hoarse
Best round of boxing ever.
2 warriors doing what they do best.
I can’t get enough of this round.
👍👍👍👍👍
in France this fight was broadcast in the middle of the night, I had recorded it to watch it the next morning, I was 14 years old and I witnessed one of the most beautiful fights in the history of boxing. For this, and with a little delay, thank you Mr HAGLER (and Mr Heans). You are still my favourite boxer today. RIP
The look they give each other at the end of the round is chilling , no words just that stone cold killer look! wow! RIP Mr. Hagler .
"screw this boxing s--t! one of us is going out on the stretcher!"
😂😂😂
Did he die?
Watching this clip after the Crawford performance really puts in perspective how legendary his performance was imo.
Crawfords better than both of them, as great as they were. I know wth I'm looking at in Crawford, he just might be the GOAT frfr
@@Jay-ml9vo
I would Pick the two Sugars and Tommy over Bud at welter.
Incredible! fantastic battlers both!
Hearns once said he went back to his corner and he thought it was Round 9.
This was a 15 rounder inside 3 minutes
It was back when boxers were warriors who wanted to fight each other to prove who was best. Now they don't go for a piss without asking Eddie hearn!
The single greatest round in the history of combat sports.
Agreed
No argument from me. It's #1
straight heat exchanges..... also wattup Twice stan, you've seen Sana's new photobook vid today
Without a doubt. Even watching it today it brings you to the edge of your seat. RIP Hagler. He got cheated in the Leonard fight.
Both these guys were straight killers, they were bad to the bone that's for sure.
This is hands down the best round in boxing history, never seen a more epic encounter. They both had the courage to go all out and lay it completely on the line, you could see it in their eyes before the fight started, they were willing to go out on their shields, massive respect for both. I didn't even see it as hearns being defeated, more like it cemented his legacy as a legend as well as hearns obviously for coming out with the victory. Fucking hell can you imagine facing hearns as a welterweight, he was HUGE, how could he have weighed 147 pounds I don't know, would Mayweather Jr have been able to beat hearns, who knows?
Hearns is the worst fighter in history for Mayweather to fight Chloe.
He would either be vapourised early or lose a wide PTS decision.
No one ever outboxed Tommy not even Ray and Wifrid.
Gatti vs ward round 9
@@soltkat
Yes but the stakes were not the same - it was not two top tier all time greats going at it (although I wish Tommy had not broken his right in the first few seconds).
Norton Holmes 15 was another cracker too. 👍🥊
@soltkat this was an epic round. But round 10 of castillo vs Corrales was f#cking insane
Floyd was made for Tommy. For Floyd's shoulder roll to work, you have to have the length advantage and/or the speed advantage. Floyd had neither. He gets demolished early.
This was the golden Era of boxing, I loved watching Hearns, Hagler, & Sugar Ray Leonard box!!!
And Roberto Duran.
This is the kind of fight to pay for.
Respect to these legends.
I just read the Sports Illustrated article written after this fight. It's a fitting tribute to Marvelous Marvin: "...a deep burning anger wrote his battle plan. It was a simple strategy, one that could have been designed by Attila: Keep the swords swinging until there are no more heads to roll, give no quarter, take no prisoners. There would be only one pace, all-out; only one direction, forward."
Damn.
@@drycreek9 Damn is RIGHT! :)
What a fight and what a chin on hagler. Hearns hit him with everything! Never tire of watching it even after all these years.
Aww man what a classic! Best First Round in the history of boxing. Till this day I have to score it a draw both fighters were hurt in this round but boy what a war this was
Still gives you chills! This wasn't just two guys slinging Joey's .....This was two of the greatest of all-time just saying f#ck it, and banging for the Baddest dude on the block title....... Hearns was always kill or be killed, with axe handles for fists and Hagler was an absolute Terminator, couldn't be stopped......This fight was a beautiful thing.
axe handles?
it’s a shame we don’t see fights like happen in boxing anymore
@@rajakhan-lr1yx today's boxers are pussy.
@@shekhar81 yes all about money and fame to them not about fighting the best…
Sounds like Ali Frazier
Basically a Rocky movie fight scene....but these warriors are doing it for real....
Rocky had real punches for the most part, only 4 had to temporarily stop using real punches when Dolph hit Sly's chest hard enough to enlarge his heart
@@salatieljyrustumanan4929 SERIOUSLY did dolph hit hard
@@alokrip9226 yeah. It's the most well known injury of the Rocky IV set. He had to be rush to the hospital else he'd die if they did treat it within 2 hrs.
@@salatieljyrustumanan4929 but wasn't he hit by earnie shavers
I thought the same
Hearns strolled out like “yeah you jive sucka I’ve been looking for yo ass.”
This is literally the best round of boxing history for me 💯
For me, this was the golden age of boxing....In the UK we watched the best fighters and the best fights ever and it was all free to air, imagine that today.
Back then my local baseball was free too. Not anymore so F em. Same with hockey, don’t watch NBA
@@mumbles215 ya wtf happened with baseball.... one year I watched almost everyday and then noticed I couldn't watch the brewers anymore lol and I live in Wisconsin wtf
2 top fighters who signed willingly to face each other in their prime.
Waiting for Crawford and Spence to do the same!!
@@herardlongchamp3963 f
Best boxing match I’ve ever seen
The greatest 1st round in boxing history.
No "click bait" on this title. Two warriors giving it all they got
Brilliant Fight, Hagler, Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran Kings Of the Ring 🤘
So right my man. So right. 👍🏻
Blessed enough to see all of them fight each other...we'll never see anything like it again!!
Hearns should have just boxed, his manhood got the best of him against Marvin...best 3 round championship fight I've ever seen
On any day they were capable of beating each other's they're are true warriors
@@mohammedzulfiquar2605 absolutely!!!
This is easily the single greatest round in boxing history. Both Hagler and Hearns gave it their all. It's amazing to think the punishment each took and still managed to remain on their feet! Legends forever...
Watching this magnificent round for the ...th time, the feeling of respect for these two boxers, is growing and growing. Thank you!
Boxers "I'm going to feel him out in the first round."
Haggler / Hearns "WAR!!"
