Forty years later, Hagler-Hearns is still the biggest fight in history

Writing rarely is a completely objective undertaking. Although we writers try to stop the wave of our prejudices, these prejudices have a way to creep. Honor is more effort than an imperfect result. What makes the wonderful Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fights from 1985 is for me that I am ready to write about it regardless of objectivity. In my opinion, this is the biggest fight in history, and that’s all. What’s more, to this day no one has ever convinced me that my claim is incorrect.
As for me, Hagler-Hearns, which fell forty years ago that night, is not only the peak of boxing, but it is so far a sports event in history. How is it to show your prejudice? To be sincere, who could argue that there was ever a recorded sporting event that was so cracking at such a high level and so many lines? There was no doubt that there were stimulating fights between legendary boxers with a lot of stakes, but no one reached the level of intensity of Hagler-Hearns tonight at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
If you have never seen three round wars, check it now on YouTube before reading. If you are one of those millions of fate who saw Hagler-Hearns, you remember how explosive was throwing from the opening bell. Hearns was a welterweight legend and a younger medium scale, giving Ray Leonard the fight of his life and putting a great Roberto Duran with a hit so thundering that he put the legendary panama icon on his face. On the other hand, Hagler was a demanding, highly qualified mill, which invented a tiny fanfare and sweeping every penny, distinctions and knockout.
Hagler was so confident that as a younger warrior he legally changed his name from Marvin Hagler to the wonderful Marvin Hagler. As for Hearns Detroit, he moved from the name Motor City Cobra to the usual “hit”. Name that matches all the right reasons for all. Their was a sporadic fight because it survived – and went far beyond – it’s noise. Watch the first round again, with each person he will not destroy the second speedy power, speed and skills, it is still as satisfying as any action movie. And the image of Hagler ended the night later two rounds, flattening the stumbled Hearns, probably remains in the mind forever.
How good was the fight? It is good enough that Hearns, who was defeated, immediately saw his reputation increased to even higher levels than before. Here is a match that will probably be remembered after everyone is gone.

Mixed reactions: separate Dazna Prices for Garcia-Romero and Canelo-Scull events
Published

April 15, 2025
Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull CEE is valued separately for $ 59.99 or purchased as a package for USD 89.99, live in Dazn.
Fans’ reactions to prices are mixed, but the Garcia-Romero event has a more favorable view, because it has three solid fights on Fatal Fury Card on Dazn PPV at Times Square in Modern York. This is a great card around.
Without immersing the event, Canelo-Scull probably does not generate vast numbers. Fans tire that Canelo takes on a smaller opposition and this is the worst for him since the fight with Avni Yildirim.
Question about value
It would be much more interest in the Canelo event if it was packed with the Garcia-Romero card. Canelo can be a worthy main support. The fight of Devin Haney with Jose Ramirez is still a much better fight than the Canelo match against Scull.
Many of them claim that the Canelo-Scull event will happen because they consider it terrible. Scull is not a warrior at the PPV level who is seen as a mismatch.
Garcia vs. Rolly Card – USD 59.99
– Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez
– Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboz Jr.
The Canelo-Scull event on May 3 covers Undercard with older warriors and those who are experiencing failures. Champion IBF 168-LB Scull (23-0, 9 KO) is not known to fans, and many who saw his last fight with Vladimir Shishkin were not impressed. They believe that he lost this fight. I watched the fight and I had Shishikin won 10-2. It wasn’t close.
Canelo vs. Scull Undercard – USD 59.99
– Badou Jack vs. Ryan Rozicki
– Jaime Mungia vs. Bruno Surace 2
– Martin Bale vs. Ephrace ajagba
– Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Rocha Guerrero
– Green Marco vs. Michel Galvan Polina
Munguia, a pretender to Super Middle in weight, lost to Surace with a knockout, and he lost two of the last three fights. He is not an ideal guy in place of the factor. If Munguia was still undefeated, it’s another thing, but it’s not.
Martin Bakole in massive weight was knocked out in two rounds in his last fight with Joseph Parker. He came to this fight, looking like a rudder, weighing 310 pounds. Considering the recent Bakole’s performance, he is out of place at Undercard PPV.
WBC champion Cruiser Wweight Badou is 41 years venerable and has been maneuvered to win the belt, defeating a handful of fighters halfway. He is not someone you can throw on the ring from Jai Odetaa or Gilberto Ramirez and expect it to win.
“I heard that they are fighting at six in the morning. If I know he is fighting at six in the morning during Saudi. [in Southern California]- said coach Robert Garcia EsnewsResponding to Canelo Alvarez, leaving three weeks earlier to fight in Saudi Arabia on May 3.
“Why does he leave three weeks earlier? Because if you leave three weeks earlier, you will have to adapt to the change of time. So what are you going to do, wake up at four in the morning? No, earlier, to fight at six in the morning? It’s not that you are at a great height [Saudi].
“So I would do it instead of going out so early to adapt to the time, because you fight while you should fight in the United States. So you will fight at six in the morning. I would do a fight and not changing the sleep pattern,” said Robert.

Do you avoid glove? Keyshawn Davis to face the inactive Edwin de los Santos in the first featherlight defense of the WBO title June 7
Published

April 15, 2025
Keyshawn Davis will announce his next fight on Friday, April 18, for his first defense of his featherlight WBO title against Edwin de Los Santos on June 7 at the range of scope in Norfolk, Virginia.
“Glove” ignored?
Davis (13-0, 9 KO) pressed to fight Gervont “Tank” Davis, but he did not show the courage to stand with him, passing through the lively minefield of still explosive mines against these three talents:
- Andy Cruz
- Raymond Muratalla
- Abdullah Mason
Instead of fighting them, Keyshawn will face #13 de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO), who has not fought for two years and lost to Shakur Stevenson in 2023. The time to fight de los Santos works for Keyshawn because he gets a built opponent. Two years ago, the fight would make more sense, but not now.
Keyshawn should fight Andy Cruz on June 7. Cruz beat Davis four times, calls him 24/7 and ranks first place WBC.
“It’s a great fight. I love that Keyshawn is a dog and follows unsafe guys in the division. De los Santos is a guy who gives everyone trouble. He is a very unsafe opponent, and Keyshawn wants all smoke,” said Chris Algieri Warrior About the next fight with Edwin de Los Santos in Norfolk about Norfolk in Norfolk about Norfolk in Norfolk about Norfolk in Norfolk about Norfolk about Norfolk about Norfolk about Norfolk about Norfolk about the featherlight master WBO WBO Keyshawna Davis.
De los Santos is better than anyone who has fought Keyshawn so far, but it says little. Keyshawn has not yet fought anyone during his four -year career and raised his WBO belt in February last year against the weakest link between the masters in 135, Denys Berinchyk.
“He does exactly what the master should do. He goes for guys that people don’t want to fight,” said Algeri. “I respect guys who do this. There is not much a great reward in de los Santos. Stark boxing understands, but for fans it is not. This is a unsafe fight.”
From the inactivity of the saints
What, at the hell, says Algeri? How can de los Santos avoid when he has been sitting on the couch for the last two years? If he fought, keeping his name in the spotlight, he would fight with all the best names.
Until now, De los Santos would have already fought Abdullah Mason, Andy Cruz and Raymond Muratalla. How can someone avoid de los Santos when he has been fermenting for two years like aging in a barrel?
“Now, de los Santos, if he loses two in a row with Davis, people will write him down even more and do not appreciate how unsafe the opponent is, it is even more,” said Paulie Malignaggi. “I remember that all tank blouses criticize Shakura for the way he looked like de los Santos. I said:” Okay, fight the tank with him. Let’s see what it looks like. ” He did not approach him.
“He shows you what character Keyshawn Davis can also face de los Santos. But he also shows the character de los Santos. So he can’t fight. So he is:” All right, whatever. I just fight with anyone “, even if it is the most arduous possible fight,” said MiliGIGIGIGGI.

“Not a tv series”: Carlos Adames reacts to Eddie Hearna’s claim that Ennis Jaron “Boots” will dominate 147, 154 and 160 pounds

The WBC Master’s Master, Carlos Adames, reacted predictively in social media to the supervisor Eddie Hearna, claiming that last Saturday evening Jaron “Boots” will defeat “all” at 147, 154 and 160.

“Not a television series”
Adames (24-1-1, 18 KO) published on X, informing his observers that it is not like a “television series”, in which after one win you can beat everyone. Hearn spoke crazy last Saturday after his warrior, IBF ennis welterweight master (34-0, 30 KO), knocked out the master WBA Eimantas Stanionis (15-1, 9 Kos) in the sixth round in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.
“The shoes do not lose at the age of 147, he does not lose at the age of 154, he will not lose at the age of 160. Watch what he is doing in the next few years; he goes through all divisions,” said Eddie Hearn promoter in the media on Saturday evening after Jaron “Boots” Ennis in the sixth match of TKO nad Eimantas Stanionionis.
Hearn ended with this victory over unverified Stanionis, who never overcame any significant objection in his career 15-balls that Ennis would be the world champion in three resolutions and 1 pound per pound.
How fans can buy what Hearn sells when shoes did not even want to fight this ephemeral WBC champion 154-Funtów Vergil Ortiz Jr. For the highest career on the Turki card on February 22 in Riyadh? Ennis reportedly rejected Substantial Bucks to fight Ortiz Jr. For a low unification match against Stanionis, which was raised to its status WBA Super Champ outside the ring. He was raised like IBF shoes.
If Hearn really believes that Ennis can overcome all the best dogs aged 154 and 160, why did he not establish a fight between him and Carlos Adames? This is a fight that he probably would easily agree if Hearn offered him the right money. Would Adames accept $ 1.8 million to fight Ennis?
The world is changing. We have a “master” who is brave because of X. Then I read about someone who after one win can apparently beat everyone aged 154 and 160, as if it was a television series. It’s enough.
