🪖THE WAR‼️ Marvin Hagler vs Thomas Hearns | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | UNDISPUTED Middleweight Boxing

Published

on



Marvin Hagler 60–2–2 (50 KO) vs. Thomas Hearns 40–1 (34 KO), billed as The Fight, (referred to afterwards as The War), was a professional boxing match contested on April 15, 1985, for the undisputed middleweight championship. The fight is considered to be the three greatest rounds in boxing history.

By 1985, “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler had been the undisputed champion of the middleweight division since September 27, 1980, after having been widely regarded as the No. 1 challenger for much of the late 1970s. His first two shots at the world middleweight title resulted in controversy: the first was an unpopular draw against then-champion Vito Antuofermo in 1979 (allowing Antuofermo to retain the title), and the second was a three-round technical knockout (TKO) of Alan Minter, in London, which led to a riot by Minter’s fans.

The hard road to the middleweight championship, however, may have helped motivate Hagler to remain dominant during his reign. Hagler was renowned for his conditioning and durability, suffering only one official knockdown in his career, against Juan Domingo Roldan, an incident Hagler always insisted should have been ruled a slip. By the time he fought Thomas Hearns, he had defended the title ten times, winning all but one by knockout; the sole Hagler defense that went the distance was a 15-round decision victory over Roberto Durán. Hagler was then approaching the middleweight record of 14 title defenses, held by Carlos Monzón.

When Hagler vs. Hearns took place, Hearns had recently moved up from the welterweight to the junior middleweight to the middleweight division. Hearns was regarded as one of the hardest punchers of all time, winning 30 of his first 32 bouts by knockout.

In Hearns’s first title shot in 1980, he scored a spectacular second-round knockout over WBA champion Pipino Cuevas. Hearns defended that title three times before meeting Sugar Ray Leonard in a thrilling fight dubbed “The Showdown.”

Hearns lost by technical knockout in the 14th round despite leading on all three scorecards. He then successfully campaigned at junior middleweight, winning the WBC title from Wilfred Benítez, and defeating Roberto Durán. Hearns defeated several middleweights during this period, including Marcos Geraldo by first-round knockout. Geraldo had gone the distance against both Leonard and Hagler.

Given the pair’s renowned punching power and the way both men had won their respective fights coming into the bout, the matchup garnered significant media attention and fan interest around the world.

It was held at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 15, 1985. Al Michaels and Al Bernstein acted as commentators for the closed circuit television for Top Rank.

Hearns received a massage before the fight, much to the chagrin of his trainer Emanuel Steward.
In HBO’s Legendary Nights: The Tale of Hagler-Hearns, Steward stated that he felt the massage weakened Hearns’ legs during the fight and led him to adopt a more aggressive approach than he normally would have.

🤬Vitali Klitschko FURIOUS as fight STOPPED | Lewis vs Klitschko

A BRUTAL six rounds in the heavyweight division was halted following some of the MOST GRUESOME damage seen in a professional bout.

The controversy surrounding the stoppage though is why the Ukrainian was livid; the referee had decided the cuts were due to Lennox Lewis’ fists, the challenger did not concur.

Despite a rematch being tentatively booked in, it never came and the Brit retied as one of the greats.

The positive for Vitali was that he had won back an audience that once derided him. Three years prior, he had quit against American Chris Byrd due to a shoulder issue, relinquishing his WBO title in the process.
