Hagler was on fire, Sibson never took backward step, fought his heart out
Credit to Sibson,
Sibson was brave but was a couple of levels below Hagler here; Hagler has to go down as one of the greatest and most versatile middleweight champs of all time - RIP Marvin and thanks for the (many) exciting years of top-class quality boxing entertainment.
I couldn't have said it better
@@j.dmetalhead7517 there were quite a few very good middleweights at that time, but Marvin was a level ahead of them
Sibson was outmatched, but he is one tough son of a gun!
One of the most overlooked performances by Marvin. He was outstanding against a tough as nails man.
Shame about Tony. Couldn't beat Marvin but probably would have won some version of the title today.
@chrisBaxter-ly8or There are a lot of guys today holding titles that would have had their hands full with Tony.
@@constantine7382 Spot on.
What a great fight!! Shout out to Sibson too. He showed great heart.
Simpson is a disgrace all he did was Bob and weave and Holly throw any punches not even a worthy sparring partner
Marvin hagler is a great champion you should have been knocked out Simpson in the first round I guess they have to make it look good
@@williammorelli2125Who tf are you? 😂😂
Someone who knows FA about boxing would be my guess 😒
Peak Hagler and Sibbo went over and gave it a good game go. Be proud Tony you came to fight Hagler at his all time best 🥊👌
Sibbo was a very competitive challenger but was up against a true boxing great.
RIP MMH.
Sibson was one of the bravest fighters i ever saw live. Obviously outclassed, but a true warrior. !! I will always respect his courage and integrity. !!
If we had to create THE PERFECT boxer today, from scratch, with nothing to work from. The result would be MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER.
R. I. P.
I agree. This was the 80s and look at his conditioning. Then there was his boxing ability. The first round of his fight with Tommy Hearns was the best round of boxing I've ever witnessed. Sadly he died far too young. But do legends ever die?
Agreed. Iron chin, power in both hands, could fight from both southpaw and orthodox stance effectively, elite stamina, and for a pressure fighter, very good head movement and defense. He could do everything and that made him adaptable vs various styles of fighters.
Couldn't agree more, Marvelous Marvin Hagler was my hero, the greatest middleweight to ever step in the ring. He had everything , granite chin,skill, we can only imagine what his opponents felt like seeing this relentless man just coming at you time and time again. He worked so hard to get to the top, for years he was denied a shot at the title. R.I.P champ ❤
Somehow had never seen this fight. Fifty years in. A huge Hagler fan. So worth the wait. What a great fight.
I find it fascinating how elite fighters make difficult stuff look so natural. Tony Sibson had some good head movement, he was light on his feet, he had some hard up and down combos. The same game plan worked a treat against Minter and he splattered him. However, against Hagler he basically got dog walked. Beautiful movement from Hagler to keep the range and stay off the ropes, punching on the move, jab-step back-then ripping a surprise combo. This is all very difficult stuff. Minter in comparison looked basic as hell.
If Tony Sibson had cut the ring off a bit more he might have had a lot more success - that was a major mistake from his corner. Ultimately though Hagler just seemed better everywhere - tighter guard inside, spinning off at angles. He was just a different level.
Hagler beat two of my boxing heros at the time Minter and Sibbo then Marvin became my hero and what a hero he was
The greatest pound for pound fighter at the time R.I.P marvelous
Wonderful! How brave was Sibson! How good was Marvin. How sporting was the ending? The noble art most definitely.
This was the greatest ever period for middleweight boxing. Hagler. Hearns, Duran, Leonard were all superb. Sibson would be world champion against today's middleweights.
Tony Sibson in his chosen sport of boxing was in an era when there was only three titles,from a country with poorer training and sparring and poorer opportunities,But when he managed with extreme hard work to get his chances to fight for world titles he tried so hard and did his utmost to win.He did beat some big names.Bravery, integrity and commitment is to be admired even if "Sibbo"never won a world title.Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank would have had to work very hard to beat this guy.Ex World champion Frank Tate the last fighter who beat Tony Sibson said he was a fan of Sibson when he fought Hagler.
Sibson was not that good. He's a punching bag type.
@@larrywheels762 Not fair.He`d beat the arse off some of todays pampered champions like Charlo.
"Of course.....it's a Hagler crowd...." And very definitely a Hagler commentator based on the lack of objectivity. Sibson took three fast right crosses, and immediately counter-attacked and delivered some good counter punches- commentator says *NOTHING.*
Their prejudice was obvious, and embarrassing (I'm American and a Hagler fan). Sibson put up a good fight.
@@Salieri47 I have to say, as a general rule, I find American boxing commentators are almost always partisan and subjective. British commentators are generally far more even handed and fair. Hagler deserved the win, but Sibson didn't receive the acknowledgement that his skill and efforts deserved from the commentator. I note that when they made the Ali film- which I enjoyed, the famous knock down of Ali by Henry Cooper wasn't even referred to in the film! Risible- Cooper knocked Ali down in his prime with one of the fastest and best delivered left hooks in boxing history- ZERO reference to it. I don't think Ali himself would have been happy about that, he had a great deal of respect and affection for Henry Cooper, he would have wanted it to be referenced I certain of that- Ali was a great sportsman and generally acknowledged other fighters who fought tenaciously against him. Thanks for acknowledging my point- appreciated! :)
idc what anyone says - Hagler is the GOAT middleweight
Crikey, Sibson was still good great fight!!! and he gave way more than the commentator said. I'm impressed. I love Marvin though, came here to remember him after his death 2 days ago, RIP Marvin Hagler
Seriously. I'm impressed Sibson was even CONSCIOUS after those three rights in the 5th round - let alone the fact that he kept coming back after being pummeled.
Sibson fought to the bitter end
a very good fight that, you are right he did! what a hero Sibson was to fight one of the best fighters in history, and did much better than many of Marvin's other highly ranked opponents. Which has me wondering why I hadn't heard of Sibson before. Epic fighter
Thank you Marvelous Marvin Hagler. It was a pleasure watching your fights. You are still missed today.
I saw Tony against Dwight Davison, he was in charge the whole fight, won it convincingly.
He also backed marvelous Marv until stoppage. Sibbo still rocks!
Tony Sibson what a guy one of the biggest hearts
Sibson caught Hagler at his imperious best.
Loved Tony Sibson but he was up against on of the greatest boxers of all time ,would have loved to see Marvin Hagler against Carlos Monsan
Whoever Monsan was.
@@paulweir5031 one of the greatest middweights ever
@@paulweir5031The name is Carlos Monzon
Marvelous he was. A shame he never met Carlos Monzon. The outcome of that fight would be hard to score.
I miss this type of boxing.
Sibson gave it everything.
How do you prepare when faced by Hagler?
You dance around like Sugar Ray Leonard for 21/2 minutes each round then throw powder puff “punches “ for 30 seconds SMH
Today, you’d prepare for Hagler by moving up or down a weight! ☺️
@@rowdyrx6109 Exactly! SR played the judges like a piano.
@@tomtalley2192 to this day I have not watched the vid of that fight. It still irritates the hell out of me!
What a great fight, Hagler showing some class boxing skills. . RIP MMH
Clock the arsole in the crowd flipping Simpson at the end , so brave !!
I don't know whoever put thumbs down on this fight but obviously gymnastics is down a couple stations down further cuz you don't know boxing
Hagler was so great that he made Sibson (the British and European middleweight champion at the time) into a complete punching bag.
Hagler had brilliant footwork and used the jab so well he was the complete fighter ,Sibson would of won a world title nowadays no doubt
Ring magazine rated this Haglers finest performance and l totally agree as Sibbo was a a genuine number challenger…Marvin kept on the move for 5 rounds boxing superbly , switching effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw and then when Sibbo was softened up sufficiently..Marvin stopped dancing..planted his feet and battered Tony …superb ….and a matador to Sibsons Bull ….
One of my favourite fighters Marvin, but I have nothing but admiration for Sibson's grit .
Sibson and hagler be came very good friend s after this fight best wishes from Durham England rip champ ❤ m m H
Sibbo a Leicester legend, hard as nails, a hagler was just to good for him
The ultimate MMH performance for me this. He looked in absolute control throughout against a very good opponent.
Hagler never changed divisions and that is why he was the best of the time He may be the best of all time
I should of meet him and get his autograph...A true legend! Rip
Date 11th February 1983
RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler. One of the finest ever to lace up a pair of gloves...
Did the commentator say even one positive thing about Sibson's performance? Yes, Hagler was winning, but Sibson was trying and got in some good shots.
Yeah, first time I've watched this back since 1983 and Sibson did a lot better (whilst getting stopped in 6 rounds) than I remembered. His head movement and balance was good, he landed some hard left hooks in close, but Hagler's jab was a ramrod. He was a shorter guy (less than the listed 5'9 and a half he was listed at imo), but with a freakishly long reach. You could see Sibson getting hit numberous times while thinking he must be out of range.
Gotta give Sibson credit - he didn't back down at all. He took Hagler's best shots and fired back with a bunch of his own. But Hagler was clearly the better fighter here. Of course, Hagler was one of the best of all time. He had such smoothness and fluidity in his style to go along with that great power. I love watching Hagler's fights. I only saw 2 or 3 of them back in the 80's, but now they're all on RUclips!
Marvin Il MERAVIGLIOSO ❤❤
Sibson made Hagler feel that crusader and this is confirmed by the way he KOed Alan Minter, Hagler couldn't knock out Alan Minter like Sibson did. Well, the fighting styles helped him, but he showed he had a great punch
Tony was brave and was never in a dull fight but he just fell short at the very highest level: and the level here was the highest of all!
Great Champion
Hagler was such a beautiful fighter! So fluid with his punches and switches from orthodox to southpaw.
No shame in losing to Hagler at his peak, what a straight jab that man had. Tony Sibson, so underrated technically. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sibson was a British lion....today he be workd champ...in that era.he had marvin..one of the very best in any era....
Loved this fight, Hagler just too good..Game Sibbo great attempt.
Masterful
Great moment
People forget that Hagler thumbed Sibson's eye! Even Sugar Ray Leonard said so!
Accidentally
@@Smudgeroon74 Accidentaly? The same did to "hammer" Roldán . That is why Leonard, before fighting Hagler, asked for the gloves to be changed in the shape.
As a Leicester boy so proud of Tony sibson. Think hagler was at his absolute peak when sibbo fought him. So might of been the same outcome but sibbo definitely needed some sparring before this fight.
The greatest boxer of all time at any devision
Sibbo was so brave and gave everything he could muster but he was defeated by The Master.
GUTER KAMPF
Masterful.job by Hagler. One the greatest middleweight fighters of all time. Tony Sibson was one hell of a fighter.
Haglers hand speed is crazy
Wow Tony sibson he went for it. King Marvin respected him
the difference between these fights and fights today is one thing... they fought. these guys today do not... at least not like them.
So proud of Tony…the TRUTH is Marvin never lost a fight…ever
Bobby Watts, Willie Monroe, & Ray Leonard would disagree with you.
@@johnmoore9862 Leonard knew he lost…ran every round
Hagler what a fighter
Leicesters finest Tony 🇬🇧👌
15:50 Sibson didn't even get hit.
Hagler never got credit for his boxing skills. A lot of people thought he was only a puncher.
marvin best middleweight of all time but ray robinson right up there
Hagler was a wrecking machine! RIP
Fair play to subsonic he was a tough fighter and always gave vfm😊
Que ano foi essa luta
Hagler was pure class. Sibo did much better than the commentator gave him credit for.
Hagler has to be in the top ten middleweights of all time.....for Sibson to go toe to toe was phenomenal with him.
Damned with faint praise springs to mind.
Top 10 ? You mean top 3 surely
For whatever reason, Sibson didn’t spar for this fight.
This was a great fight but I didn't think sibbo was at his best especially when they said he hadn't sparred for 7 days that in itself is unusual so I defiantly don't think he was on top of his game, he definitely didn't look as sharp as when he fought minter.
Sibson didn’t belong in the ring with the Marvelous one
Wouldnt it be amazing if Hagler and Roy jones fought big sparks
Sibson barely landed a punch hagler dominated the middleweight division
A pity hagler couldn't fight without using the head on the eyebrow area.
Kept putting the head in every opportunity.
Watch Hagler v magabe your see his potential pure class
Hagler always looked the same no matter what age he was i bet he looked like this when he was 10 years old.
Saunders would have quit on his stool end of fifth
wouldn't it have been great if Minter or Sibson could have beaten the great Hagler tho !
in another universe maybe......
hagler was a great champion tony sibson didnt have the movement to hit hagler with his best blows sibson was a hard hitter he couldnt pin hagler down
Marvin s head
Sibo
Not a classic fight. Too one sided for that. Tony was one of the best but Hagler was probably the best ever in his division.
hagler headbutting , a cheat . also headbutted minter cheated in that match too .
Sibson like most English boxers started to bleed during the anthems!
🤣🤣
Did any Austrian, Swiss or German boxers get to fight Hagler?????
Hagler got a bad cut immediately against Hearns
Dumb comment
Nah, he got hit a lot and none of those shots were soft. Pretty much anyone will start busting up when that happens.
Marvelous Marvin 👊💪. Complete fighter.
Hagler : CELEBBERRIMO
