His invention certainly gave me plenty of joy over many years. 2

Adelaide Tiger Posted March 14, 2021 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
DavidM Posted March 14, 2021 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 ? A boxing immortal Edited March 14, 2021 by DavidM 4
Adelaide Tiger Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 DavidM round one was just a gentle warm up before the real action started in rounds two and three 1

CanaBull Posted March 14, 2021 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.
GUBRATS Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 One of the fabulous 4 , the best fighters to grace the sport IMO 2

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!

Trojan Posted March 22, 2021 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.
