Adelaide Tiger Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Just seen reports that ‘Marvellous’ Marvin Hagler has died aged 66. What a magnificent boxer who took on and beat Thomas ‘Hitman’ Hearns in one of the most savage, exhilarating 3 rounds of boxing that I have ever witnessed. To anyone who has never seen the fight go watch it on YouTube and watch two of the greatest middleweights of the 80’s stand toe to toe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) The first fight I remember watching was Hagler - Minter , which seemed like a vicious assault to me as a kid watching. After that he was Tyson before Tyson , visually intimidating , scary , dominant and a boxing icon . The Hearns fight ... the Leonard fight etc etc . Who could argue or sneer when he officially changed his name to Marvellous Marvin Hagler ?

CanaBull Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hagler/Hearns is the first boxing match I really remember. Just seemed to be a real fighter sounding name to me as a youngster, and then he hung it up a couple of years later. Didn't really understand why until later, but I respected him even more then. RIP.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I recall Lorimer's disallowed goal in the 1975 European Cup Final. Even Bayern admit today that it was a goal. That and Beckenbaur's rugby tackle n the box on Clarke gave Bayern the cup and caused the subsequent riot. I remember Leeds signing Lorimer. He was only 15 but never really lost his Scottish twang. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM. An Earl and a Knight of the Garter.” Clement Attlee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
