    Still an all time great classic and a fantastic opening round. Upon rewatching the fight itself after the first round was a bit more one sided in Haglers favor but still doesn’t take away the fact that these guys put on a great show. Only wish they had a rematch but I think Hagler would have still stopped Hearns.

    It’s honestly quite sad how much of a wasteland 160 is now compared to decades before it.

    What's great about this is if you're newer to boxing you not only see an all time great fight, but it provides some context.

    Hearns stunned Hagler but ended up breaking his hand due to Hagler's "weapon head"

    Great fight, but a bit overrated imo, since it was very onesided
