I think the Mugabi fight was much tougher. Mugabi wasn’t the same after, but neither was Marvin.
Love your style of content. Really well made videos. Excellent subtle music too.
@@shaneculkin7124 thank you Shane! Glad to hear this feedback!
My favourite boxer loved his determination, discipline, focus, and boxing style , RIP Mr Hagler
Marvelous Marvin Hagler
The best middle weight of all time! It's not my opinion, that's a fact!
Marvin the goat 🐐.....💪🏾..🙏🏾
That was an era of titans where rounds went to the 15th round and Marvelous Marvin Hagler was one among them and is still to this day will always be leviathan who brought intimidation discipline terror with his head steaming like a steaming locomotive made of iron with relentless pressure moving forward till he deliberately demolished destroyed berated till his opponents had nothing in them.
RIP Marvelous
All class too.
Hagler was a monster. He never ducked anyone. One of the true greats at any weight
Growing up in Eastern MA in the '70s and '80s, Marvelous was an institution. It was like the was just the Champ. Always had been. The truth was Hagler had a hard hard road and earned his success despite more than just his boxing opponents standing in his way. He was a man.
My ALL TIME favorite boxer!!! RIP MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER!!!
Loved Marvin Hagler. He brought so much class to the boxing world. Such a wonderful human being. The true meaning of a great man.
About 16 years ago I met Fulgencio at a gym in Caracas. Although he was not a regular coach, from time to time he would go and share and advise us amateurs. He must have been in his fifties. The impression he left on me is of a well mannered quiet man, still with good cognitive and physical faculties. He was tall, wiry, and when he shook your hand, you felt like you were shaking hands with a freaking titanium android, he had very tough hands.
Great story Francisco. Yeah I’ve seen some pictures of him, still looks like a tough man. Great to know he was still passing on his knowledge to amateurs. Bet he would’ve passed on a lot to them. Very underrated in my opinion.
@@BoxingLife great breakdown! Please do it more Marvin Hagler analys I suggests Lennox Lewis breakdowns and algo Salvador Sanchez algo, keep the Hard work my friend
@@BoxingLife Loved watching this, and I REALLY miss Hagler. IMO, Marvelous is the greatest middleweight ever. So smart, and he was a GREAT tactician in the ring. As for this opponent, Felgencio was a tough SOB, major knockout power, and bigger than Hearns, so this was no easy fight for Hagler. But of all of Hagler's greatest assets, I think the most amazing asset is no one ever really hurt him. Hearns rocked Hagler for a bit in Round 1 of their fight, but even then Hagler just countered and kept moving forward, unfazed.
Great info Francisco and great to hear he is doing Good !! He was unfortunate that his title shot was with Hagler. He would probably would have been a champ otherwise !! But sounds like he is a True Champ in Life helping kids and such which is more important !!!!
If I were one of Hagler's contemporaries, I think I'd rather get sparked with one punch from Tommy Hearns, than be subjected to one of the systematic, ruthless and soul-destroying beatdowns Hagler put on his opponents.
He was a demon of a fighter...
I'm with you there man !! Yeah he really beat his opponents up bad !! Doubt any were really the same in following fights afterwards !!!
HAGLER WAS INDEED MARVELOUS ! HE IS ALSO THE GREATEST MIDDLEWEIGHT TO EVER ENTER A BOXING RING .RIP TO MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER
Im still trying to figure out how Vito Antuofermo managed a draw against Marvin in their first fight. When Marvin was challenging Vito, Vito got the decision supposedly because he was the champion. Close fights in a championship fight go to the Champion.....Unless you fight a close fight against a challenger named Leonard. So the second time Marvin was in a close fight, the challenger got the decision. Sounds like referees didnt like Marvin too awful much, because he won both of these fights. He kicked Vito's ass, and still lost.
Sacrilege! Great fighter but did you ever see Robinson or Monzon? Hagler couldn't beat a welter in Leonard and beat a blown up light in Duran by a whisker. Go away and get some knowledge. 😤👊
@@garygraham2934 You're PIPE DREAMING Robinson LOST 19 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS and MONZON fought mostly in Europe .
When your nickname is marvelous it says a lot ! Guy just had all the tools and a few tricks to go along with. I love the way he just picked fighters apart. He wore them out not only physically but mentally/emotionally. Truly one of the best all-time.
It wasn’t a nickname
@@MartinSmith-qt3cc
Well he wasn’t named marvelous when he took his first breath now was it?
marvellous had every tool in the bag ,a master tactician and
incisive technician, coupled with his metronomic jab and a
ball pein hammer for desserts, god rest his soul !
AND THE FILTHY MF'ERS STOLE HIS CROWN & GAVE IT TO THEIR GOLDEN CHILD SUGAR RAY RABBIT -- WORST SPORTS DECISION IN MY LIFETIME -- STILL DISGUSTS ME
Greatest fighter ever!!
@@leramfreeman2950top 10
One thing that could never be said about Hagler is ever ended up shot and soft! Marvelous Marvin was and will forever be the hard working dedicated fighter of granite. RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler 1954-2021💪🥊
Well said
One my all time favorites Imagine if he had got the shot at the title somer in his career!
It didn't matter how big a puncher the other guy was, nobody hit hard enough to stop Hagler, Hearns and Mugabi showed that.
Marvin Hagler is perhaps the best all round fighter of all time. He had the punch, an iron chin, stamina, and style. R.I.P. Marvellis Marvin.
Marvin Hagler was just a devastating boxer, and it's no wonder he ruled the middleweight division.
The way these guys size each other up with very subtle changes in rhythm to set something up and letting their instincts and experience lead thereafter is something that I find very aspiring.
Ты прав! Это действительно заставляет восхищаться такими чемпионами! Это старая школа! Такого к сожалению сегодня уже нет....
And somewhat dull. I remember both fights. The styles and approach to the game were identical. No contrast. Just straight head to the chest type boxing.
We need a video break down of Roberto Duran ❤ , who agrees ?!
Marvin was one of the best ever if not the best pound for pound boxer ever . He had the lot . Granite chin . Knock out punch . Non stop round after round never took a step backwards in the ring no matter the opponent . Simply the best . What a man what a fighter and what a boxer RIP MARVELLOUS MARVIN HAGLER 🥊🥊🥊
Marvin’s footwork was underrated he was always so well balanced.
EVERYTHING about Marvelous Marvin Hagler was underrated by the "powers that be" in Boxing; they were too busy sniffing Leonard's flamboyance and imitation of the GREATEST, Muhammad Ali. Marvin Hagler WAS a phenomenal boxer that represented the sport with dignity. R.I.P. Mr Hagler; we still remember your greatness in and out of the ring.
IMHO, the greatest champ. Never mattered how dangerous or badass his opponents were. His fight with Mugabi proved that.
Hagler was right to be insulted. Obel was owned by Rafito Cedeno, who controlled boxing in Venezuela. Cedeno was closely connected to both Jose Sulaiman (WBC President) and Rodrigo Sanchez (WBA President). Probably as good an explanation as any as to why Obel was ranked #1 by both organizations despite never having beaten a top fighter.
Thanks for the insight! Yeah that totally makes sense. Shit like this still goes onto this day. Obel though imo was a very underrated fighter even if he was pushed up the rankings at the time.
Most big matches are scripted especially at heavyweight. The corruption is Rampant always has been.
I feel that haglers feints were his most underrated part of his game. All his feints led to punched or head movements avoiding shots while also setting up the more punishing shot that his opponents don’t see coming
Yeah I agree, he was non-stop with them. Always giving different looks. Used a lot of broken rhythm with his movements. Something else!
JAB.
As a Venezuelan I have to say that I am so happy that you cover this match, would love to see you cover Obelmejas more as he had a crazy KO ratio if ever possible!!
Analysis of Hagler vs Duran would be an all time! You'll find more variety of skills and techniques in a single round of that fight then you'll find in most championship fights today. Truly 2 of the greatest technicians in the history of the sport.
Agreed here. The styles clashed a bit better, or Duran gave it a better entertaining match.
@@EinsteinKnowedIt yes the pressure was on Duran to transition from the brawling infighting that worked at welterweight, to the midrange counterpuncher he had to be to compete with middleweights.
@brianarguello7576 Yes, and that is what made it a much more interesting fight. Having to watch brawling only fights, like Hagler vs. Antuofermo 1 and 2 would drive me insane or to MMA, whichever is worse.😇
@@EinsteinKnowedIt naa , Hagler did him in 9 rounds to 3 , those Judges that scored the fight must of been drunk to have had Duran winning after 12 rounds , and to have the fight that close in the end by those ridiculous scores was a crime in it's self , but what can you expect from the corrupters of Las Vegas , the Nevada Boxing Commission never liked Hagler because he never went along with their dirty cheating politics
I fully support your sugestion 👏👏👍✅
Best fighter in history,fought all the animals ,came up on top, best chin,hard puncher
Nice how Marvin threw those inside shots from different angles- looping his punches over and around the gloves.
I grew in So California and I still have a lot of my old Ring Magazines. Hagler, Bobby Boogaloo Watts, Willie the Worm Monroe and Benny Briscoe were great Philly fighters that I always would read about, that was a great era for Middleweight boxing😎
Hagler could seemingly hit you from wherever he was at the time. Was used less than normal in this fight but his use of the Gazelle punch was incredible .
One of my all time favorite boxers. RIP Champ
Hagler and GGG are the 2 towering postwar middleweights.
Monzon, SRR.
Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones were as good if not better than GGG, with more varied skillsets and superior resumes. But GGG is worthy of ATG status. SRR also had equal if not superior resumes to them all post war.
Marvelous ! 🥊Rip Champ 🥊🙏 Godbless 🏴
Awesome fight upload of Marvelous one. Kudos for background of the fighters n break down of the fight. New subscriber because of this vid. Anticipating more uploads. Maybe u could feature Marvelous one vs John The Beast Mugabe? Peace
GREATEST middle weight of all time and top 3 greatest fighters of all time.. My Favorite.......
Hagler and Duran were masters of the art of inside fighting. The two best to ever do it. Duran’s best inside work was against Palomino.
Hagler is a tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough fighter. He is cut from a different cloth. Nothing like the fighters of today. This is why he is one of my favorites of all times. He is up there next to Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Louis and other greats. He was determined, hungry, quick and brutal.
Marvin's long reach for his height is apparent here. It's also amazing how difficult it was for opponents to land clean shots on him.
Hagler's ability to fight effectively from the Left or Right stance was a tremendous tactic.
Thank You for your work. It is important to the sport of boxing.
Thank you! Glad I can give back
Marvin threw deceptively hard punches. When he fought the unbeatable opponent mogobi,obelmejias, ect. He just steadily wore them down and took away their will. Rest in peace marvelous one. Thanks for the memories .
3:05 That was awesome and awe inspiring. That needs to be on a poster on my wall or a boxing gym. Sounds like something Leonidas would say.
I think that you have some of the best boxing content on RUclips, well done for that. However, in this instance some of your information is slightly incorrect. At the end of the Alan Minter fight, the crowd did not throw bottles due to the early stoppage. The threw bottles due to the fact that Minter was beaten by a black man, which he is quoted as saying would never happen. Minter had a large fight right contingent within his fans, as those are the ones who threw the bottles and cans, and racially abused Hagler on his way back to his dressing room.
That is disgusting and sad...R.I.P Marvin Hagler and congratulations for putting a whipping on Alan Minter that night..TAKE THAT WHITE BOY!
Haggler is the greatest middleweight of all time imho. He is pound for pound one of the greatest boxers of all time
Hagler was underrated . He fought everybody and never ducked anyone. He was always in shape with excellent boxing skills, especially his defense. He was a true warrior. He would stand in the pocket and punch with his opponents - and bring pressure every round of every fight.
Hagler one of the best ever I've seen
Great review of this fight, thanks
Love those days when you could watch a championship fight being broadcasted for FREE......Hagler, my all time favorite boxer....I remember watching this fight I think on good old regular TV....then came cable and HBO...lol.
I watched this fight decades ago and was only around age 19 when I watched it. I am now age 62 Wow! Has time much time flown by? Those days boxing was the real deal
Love your fight analysis, bring more 👏👏
Thank you man 👊
Ah, Fully Obel.......One of the most underrated MWs of all time. Probably woulda been a champion, along with John Mugabi, if it weren't for some Marvelous guy. I still say he beat Leonard. Leonard probably won the last 30 seconds of every round, but the other 2-1/2 were Marvelous.....
Hagler vs Leonard WAS/IS the greatest ROBBERY off the DECADE/CENTURY PERIOD !!
Did Sugar Ray Leonard, beat Marvin Hagler???Yes.or No?
@@johndoee3850 NO! and NO!
You, find that fight; study it_ NO! and NO!... will be YOUR answer.
@onewayup5 Yes!Yes!!go do your own home 🏡 work.
I dont need to study it, I saw it live. Study the Hearns/Leonard II fight, and explain how golden boy, who was the golden boy long before golden boy Oscar, managed a draw while Hearns dropped him twice. Any close decision always went to the guy who impersonated the REAL Sugar Ray, and did a poor job of it.....
Excellent objective commentary about these two skilled pugilists.
Refreshing contrast to the hype, exaggeration and BS one sees at other channels.
Had forgotten about the unruly loutish bloodthirsty British fans throwing debris into ring after refs stopped the fight.
EXCELLENT work!
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Man, great analysis, slomo, breakdown, presentation of the fighters angles, backround, dude, great job!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
The 1st Punch in that Finishing Combo was an Uppercut that Rung His Bell GOOD!
When the battle is over, tighten your helmet straps. - Samurai proverb. That's what Hagler did, that's what resulted in the longest consecutive unified title reign in middleweight history, no tune ups, Hall of Famers besten bsck to back with more knockouts in middleweight title fights than Sugar Ray Robinson. Hagler was the best.
agree 100\ c about time marvelous marvin hagler get proper recognztion he was greatest fighter ever ...greatest 160 all time from a hardcore boxing fan there been great champs yes they have but m.marvin .hagler was the best floyd can be rich but he aint fit to lace hagler boots facts not money
Great piece. Really enjoyed the analysis and history lesson!
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite fighter of all time marvelous Marvin Hagler. His fight with John the beast of Mugabi one of the most underrated spectacular showings I have ever seen. John was a true beast 25 wins 25 knockouts. He was never the same after that fight marvelous Marvin Hagler destroyed him. But it also took a toll on marvelous
Great video and breakdown. Great way to explain the tactics of a very dangerous fight for Hagler. The Animal was bigger and had the longer reach and was a huge puncher
Thanks Dave! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
MARVIN the master of disaster first time i saw this one thanks Marvin really was great
He took him to deeper waters,what a legend!
Without being biased due to it being marvellous outstanding work Jamie it truly will be a sad day if you’re channel gets taken down amazing truly 💯🔥🥊life4life

Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed
I'd like to see you do Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello. You did a fantastic job on this video!! Thanks for sharing.
A drugs analysis or a boxing one?
The marvelous one❤🔥🔥
Amazing video as always
Hagler was equal with both hands, incredible instinct in the ring, one of the greatest boxers ever!!!!!!!
Amazing video...thanks...!!!
very good post and analysis, You really did a good job showing Hagler's technical expertise, that I had not realized before, since Hagler is an Animal too. I'm SOOOO sorry we lost Marvin.
Yeah good match we all for get these kind of good matches back in the day thanks
His changing of stance. From neutral to orthodox, from southpaw to orthodox, from orthodox to southpaw. I knicknamed him Tazmanian devil because he was so fast with his switch hitting. Impeccable timing and could manage distance, space and cut the ring. His balance too and footwork. Brilliant Master of Boxing, truly stuff of LEGEND.
Very nice analysis of a great fighter
My favourite boxer and make my 7yo son watch MMH as he's a southpaw too ... didn't know about this opponent, thanks for posting RIP MMH , still can't believe he's not with us
Excellent work
Great guy, Marvin. Miss him
Good vid very rarely do we hear about these tough contenders i was a 17 yr old high school kid sitting in the balcony for fuli obel fight. I thought it was a one sided blow out while i was there but wow he had heart. Many prospects did well against Tommy hearns for a future vid idea. James the heat kitchen did well
What an outstanding analysis. Marvin Hagler was one of the best ever and my favorite boxer.
Help this guy out, like and comment for the algorithm.
Outstanding video and commentary...your breakdown of Hagler's technique; defense and offence was interesting and enlightening... Scribed and liked.. will check out your other videos
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great analysis man
Thank you!
Hi mate, been enjoying your videos for a while, you sound like you’re from my neck of the woods, highlander?
Great video!🔥🔥👍🏾
Thank you!
I always loved Hagler but dont remember this fight. A bit of trivia from me is that his first pro fight was on the exact same day I was born.
One of the most underrated boxer in history.
Good breakdown. Marvelous fighter of tremendous skill and physical condition. Marvin Hagler. One of the Greats!
WAR, WAR, WAAAARRR!!!! He would SCREAM while doing Road Work in the Middle of Winter in Massachusetts!!!!
Hey Marvin was a true champion i love to watch him fight
My all time favourite marvelous marvin hagler great fighter and a great man
My hero my favourite fighter of all time and the coolest dude in boxing ever
The legendary marvelous one, a true master of his craft!! Rest in peace marvelous one, the best middle weight of all time!! 🥊🥊🥊
For me, Hagler is the best middleweight ever. Maybe not the best boxer but undoubtedly the best fighter. He had it all: strength, stamina, power, determination and a cast iron jaw. Have a watch of his fight against John ‘The Beast’ Mugabi. Amazing. Saul Canelo is a brilliant fighter these days. What a fight those two would have had.
My all-time fav. Ducked no one.
@@darrencroom7701 Too right. He also had to fight his way up through the ranks to even get a shot at the title such was the prejudice against him.
Hagler was superb, his dedication was second to none, and any young aspiring boxer's, would do well to, take a leaf out of this man's book, dedication is the only way to achieve in the square ring, as a young lad you have to give up the usual things, but the rewards are worth it, providing you keep a level head, RIP Marvellous Marvin.
I was in London early 2001, I was walking past the Savoy when I was distracted by a car horn and bumped into a fellow pedestrian.. it was a shuddering collision and I apologised.. I was met with a silent aggressive stare.. I met the man’s gaze and it was Marvin Haggler.. I was about to say I’d been a lifetime fan of his when suddenly he stripped of his shirt and pants and was stood in his boxing shorts.. not hesitating I took up an orthodox stance and sized him up for on of my rib busting hooks .. I missed and a friend got between us , seconds later he was grabbed by hi manager Angelo Dundee Scotland and ushered away into a Limo. He was gone.
In 1987 -- I was in high school , a 90 pound amateur boxer =====with the nickname of Little Hagler.
I could careless about the rankings, this man was more than competent
When I think of great middleweight Sugar ray Robinson Marvin Hagler Tony Zale Joe Calzaghe Roy Jones Carlos Monson Emilie Griffith that's a hall of fame all time list
Calzaghe wasn't a middleweight he was a super middle.
Good post. Thanks for sharing. I admire how Hagler was so spartan in his approach to training.
Thanks, Michael! Yeah he was something!
Great fighters of a bye gones era wow rip marvellous one xxx
