- Gene Tunney II (September 1927)
After dropping Tunney in the seventh round, Dempsey initially failed to go to a neutral angle, which means that the judge was unable to start the number for five seconds. Tunney got up on the official number of “nine”, but unofficially fell for 14 seconds. Tunney would triumph with a decision, and the long number was remembered as one of the most controversial moments in the history of boxing. - Georges Carpentier (July 1921)
Near between Dempsey and Carpentier is renowned for generating the first gate in sport for a million dollars. Dempsey Ko’d Carpentier in the fourth round. - Luis Firo (sister 1923)
Dempsey vs Firpo is rightly considered one of the most full struggles of all time, despite lasting less than four minutes. Firpo remained five times in the opening round, but he gathered to throw Dempsey through the ropes and the ring. In the second, Dempsey conjured up a blow to gain victory. - Jess Willard (July 1919)
Dempsey also scored seven knocking down in the first round, when he dethroned Willard to become the world king of heavyweight. The wild coronation was completed when Willard failed to be fourth. - Gene Tunney I (September 1926)
In his first fight with Tunney, Dempsey lost the world heavyweight title in points before over 120,000. - Jack Sharkey (Jul 1927)
Between the two losses of Dempsey with Tunney was scintiling in the seventh round of the knockout of his favorite Betting Sharkey, who later complained that the final shot was preceded by a low blow. - Tommy Gibbons (July 1923)
The lonely Gibbons fight was not particularly unforgettable – Dempsey won a relatively unlucky competition on the results cards – but she had mutilating consequences for Guest Shelby, Montana, which was financially ruined after extreme excessive investment. - Bill Brennan II (December 1920)
Dempsey got involved in a cruel war with an aged rival Brennan, about which he apparently had bonds with the Al Capone gangster. Dempsey won through the 12th round of KO. - Billy Mulke III (September 1920)
In the first defense of his world crown, Dempsey sent a friend of the enemy in the third round. The ladies suffered from severe kidney disease, which would be fatal. - Fred Fulton (July 1918)
Opposing DDSMakers, Dempsey instituted as the most vital pretender to heavyweight in the world, rejecting Fulton after just 23 seconds.
Boxing History
10 most renowned fights by Jacek Dempsey
The wonderful Marvin Hagler, who was widely respected in the boxing community and was one of the biggest boxing masters, died suddenly on March 13 at the age of 66.
There are usually warning signs against the death of a great warrior. He is aged. Or he is relatively teenage, but in a health failure. The newspapers vacuum their obituaries. The end is close.
There was no such warning here. The message appeared in the post on the official website of the Hagler fan club signed by his wife Kay, who sounded: “I’m sorry I made a very melancholy advertisement. Unfortunately, my beloved husband wonderful Marvin unexpectedly died in your home here in Recent Hampshire. Our family asks you to respect our privacy at this tough time.”
No cause of death was announced. TMZ later informed: “One of the sons of Hagler, James, says TMZ, his father was taken to the hospital in Recent Hampshire earlier on Saturday, March 13 after they experienced trouble breathing and chest pain at home. About four hours later the family was informed that she died.”
Hagler approached his own path. Most fighters do it. He was born in Newark, Recent Jersey, on May 23, 1954. His mother moved his family to the city of Brockton in Brocton, Massachusetts, after the riots in 1967, which destroyed Newark. Marvin began boxing in Brocton and was discovered at the local gym by Goodho and Pat Petronella – brothers who trained him and managed the Ring throughout their career.
Hagler fought with all this career as an average weight. His confession was basic: “Every time, anywhere, in the yard of everyone.” He returned Pro on May 18, 1973 and in fourteen years developed a record 62-3-2 (52). Everyone but the final defect on his ring book was cleaned.
Sugar Ray Seals fought for a disputed draw with Hagler in the family state of Washington Seales. Hagler’s decision about Seales in an earlier fight and destroyed him in one round in a later one.
Bobby Watts won the decision about the family majority over Hagler in Philadelphia and was knocked out in the second round when they met. Also in Philadelphia, a family warrior Willie Monroe Hagler’s decision. They fought twice with Hagler, who struck Monroe in the twelfth and second round.
Vito Antoufermo used what widely recognizes that it was a badly considered draw when he first fought with Hagler. Eighteen months later, Hagler knocked Antoufermo in four rounds.
The only flaw that is not pomsa was the loss of the decision about Sugar Ray Leonard on April 6, 1987 in the final struggle of Hagler’s career. He took the calculated risk against Leonard Hagler. Or more precisely – incorrectly calculated risk. Natural Southpaw, he fought in an orthodox attitude over the first three rounds, shortening the fight for Leonard and losing points on the cards of the results of judges. Lou Filippo scored 115-113 for Hagler. Dave Moretti had it 115-113 for Leonardo. Jose Juan Guerra (who seemed to have a problem with understanding what he watched) threw the decisive Tally 118-110 in favor of Leonard.
Hagler fought the crushing search style and Nestroy. He was as relentless in training as in the ring and wore combat shoes while performing road works. In 1980, in 1980 he took over the throne in the middle weight in the third round of Alan Minter in London and successfully defended his crown against John Mugabami and Roberto Duran. His most significant victory was the knockout of Thomas Hearns in the third round on April 15, 1985, in Non-Stop Slugfest, which is widely considered one of the most invigorating fights in the history of boxing.
After the fight with Leonard Hagler (a month of shame with his 33rd birthday) he left boxing. He moved to Italy, learned the Italian and played the hero in class B action movies. He was a history of success in boxing – a great warrior who retired in good health with money at the bank and remained retired.
One anecdote says size. Flying home from Las Vegas after an eight -digit payment, Hagler called his wife on the phone. Telephones on aircraft were fresh at that time and were activated using a credit card. Marvin talked to his wife for about a minute before he told her: “I have to hang up now. I don’t know how much this thing costs.”
How good was the warrior Hagler?
Six years ago I conducted a survey to argue the largest average importance of the present. Entrepreneurs were restricted to the era after World War II and did not include fighters such as Stanley Ketchel and Harry Greb, because there are not enough film films to assess them properly.
The fighters considered alphabetically are Nino Benvenuti, Gennady Golovkin, Marvin Hagler, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones, Jake Lamotta, Carlos Monzon, Sugar Ray Robinson and James Toney. Panels were asked, anticipating the result of each fight whether each of these warriors would fight the other eight in a round-robin tournament.
Twenty -four experts took part in the ranking process. Among them were studied, trainers, warriors, historians and media representatives, from Teddy Atlas and Don Mcrae to Bruce Trampler and Mike Tyson. Voters were to assume that both warriors in each fight were at the point of their careers, when they were able to earn 160 pounds and were able to duplicate their best performance of 160 pounds.
The incomparable Sugar Ray Robinson took first place. Hagler defeated (or one could say that “defeat”) other contenders who end as the second average importance of the present.
In the long run, I once asked Bernard Hopkins how Ray Ryinson dealt with Sugar.
“Sugar Ray Robinson weighing 147 pounds was close to the perfect,” replied Hopkins. “But in medium weight he was defeated. I would fight Ray Robinson and would not give him room to do my things. I would force me to pay a physical price. But in medium weight, I think I would utilize it and win him.”
And how did Hopkins think he would do against Hagler?
“Me and Marvin Hagler were a war,” Bernard replied. “We would both later be in a hospital with straws in our mouths. We would destroy each other. My game plan would be gritty, box, gritty, box. You wouldn’t utilize judges for this fight. You will go through doctors’ reports.”
There was time in Hagler’s career when he decided that he should be presented in the fighting and refer to the media as “the wonderful Marvin Hagler”. But as Muhammad Ali learned after changing his name with Cassius Clay, the world of boxing is not always in line with nomenclature. Finally, after the performance without “wonderful” in one too many fights, Hagler went to court and legally changed his name to the wonderful Marvin Hagler.
Hagler was a real champion in and outside the ring. He deserved the right to call “wonderful”.
Thomas Hauser’s latest book – Gateown: Another year in boxing – He was published by the University of Arkansas Press. In 2004, the boxing Writers Association of America honored Hauser with the NatLeischer Award for career perfection in boxing journalism. In 2019, he was elected to be introduced to the International Gallery of Sław.
