Ollie Dunlap. You can also hear him yell "30 seconds!". This was to alert Sugar Ray that the round was 30 seconds from ending, and that he should look to flurry & try to steal the round.
I remember being a kid at 10 years old my dad a huge Sugar Ray fan inviting all his friends over to watch the VCR recording of this fight pleading and telling them how Sugar Ray won great memories man it doesn't seem like so long ago
I still have my copy of this fight I recorded on VHS off the ppv telecast. I converted to DVD since, but I still watch it from time to time. Both are my favorite fighters of the time, tough one to call.
Leonard's punches were great for Olympics. But the pitty pat never had Hagler hurt. Hagler had more effective punches. Leonard did have a very good chin, and always a slick boxer.
Leonard here shows superior speed, accuracy, defense, timing, ring generalship. If Hagler hit harder as a middleweight in this position he would have take care of a little welterweight. I doubt Leonard beats Jake Lamotta, Frank Klaus, Stanley Ketchel the more aggressive harder hitting guys. I think Haglers boxing ability and punching power are both overrated. He was maybe the toughest mw next to Lamotta but agood middleweight is supposed to destroy a welterweight not get dominated by one.
The more I watch fights the more I realize the commentating and highlights in between rounds sells who they want to win. Hagler actually coulda have won this he landed a lot more
Leonard was fantastic at making it look like we won a round when really he hadn’t. Those fast combination punches he threw didn’t do much to hagler but they looked good to the judges.
Leonard had just come out of retirement and fought the Champion first fight!!! It shouldn't have even been close!! Hagler should have destroyed him .....but he couldn't.

I saw the actual contract from this fight it’s framed in gleasons gym. Hagler got 20 million for this fight and Leonard got 12.5 but Leonard picked 12 rounds, picked the ring size and the gloves.
Hagler should've worked the body more. Some of those shots were wrecking Leonard. Sugar was just the slicker fighter of the two. His footwork won him that fight as much as his boxing. Hagler is, was, and always will be a beast.
@ryanharris7891 My best guess would be that he was trying to turn Sugar into his power, but Sugar was just too quick with his feet/movement to fall into it.
I REALLY DIDNT THINK IT WAS THAT CLOSE -- LEONARD LANDED NO SIGNIFICANT PUNCHES -- WELL MAYBE ONE OR TWO -- REFUSED TO GO 15 ROUNDS -- INSISTED ON A BALLROOM SIZED RING & THEN RAN AWAY THE ENTIRE FIGHT -- LANDED NUMEROUS PITTY PAT PUNCHES THAT AMOUNTED TO NOTHING AT ALL -- THEN WOULD NOT EVEN DISCUSS A REMATCH -- THAT WAS THE BIGGEST THEFT IN BOXING HISTORY IMHO

Those spurts before the 10 second rounds finished barely hit their marks. What awful scoring by the officials, and the referee Richard Steele is the worse. Leonard played them all and he gifted for it.
And history repeated itself. Middleweight title, two of the best fighters of this era, insane chin man vs slick hands. Insane chin man gets robbed by a 118-110 scorecard. GGG vs Canelo. Should’ve won the 2nd fight too.
Sugar Ray Leonard's excessive holding will always prove to me that he never wont this fight because he never actually boxed the entire fight. He held so much that Marvin couldn't fight. Now if anyone thinks that should be normal, you shouldn't be watching boxing. There was a time where excessive hugging in ONE round would cost you a point! Now, you can do it an entire fight and be called a CHAMPION? I mean, WTF!? Who in their right boxing mind thinks excessive holding is part of boxing!? In what Championship fight, has anyone ever seen this much HOLDING!?
Sugar Ray waited, and waited, and waited some more. Reduced the number of rounds to 12. Required heavier gloves. He ran the entire boxing match and still lost on my card. Hearns/ Hagler - the best ever!

Ray did trade with Marvin when he was cornered, but Marvin gave away the first two rounds being too cautious. He's still the best Middleweight of all time in my opinion.
Same here, I watched the fight many times Ray didn't let Marvin fight his fight and had the blueprint to beat the best middle weight of all time .Respect brother 🤝 🥊🥊
@@mitchsixx1896 I said middleweight, not welterweight. Marvin is the best. Would say Ray Robinson, but he moved up and down in weight too much, didn't stay at middleweight long.
Leonard ran away from Hagler and clenched. He also hit low blows that weren't penalised. Hagler, despite being past his best and after all the wars he'd been in had taken their toll by this time, still won this fight. Hagler is the greatest middleweight to have ever lived.

The non effective punches that were nothing more than gloves padding Marvins gloves and shoulders? Stealing rounds with combo flurry's that weren't punches and had no actual power behind them?

When I need a little motivation, and watch a great middleweight fight this is one of the go-to fights for me. There’s a couple; Mugabi VS. Hagler Leonard vs. Hearns
Srl played Hagler for the fool ! I had this a draw and it should never have been that close. 1st srl had everyone gathered to supposedly announce fight with mmh, but retired. Once he felt that Hagler lost a step, he moved in. Gave mmh more money in exchange for bigger ring, bigger gloves, and 12 rnds. Hagler could not catch ray and looked slow all nite ! I still had it a draw, and had it been called a draw, it woulda forced a rematch in which srl wanted nothin to do with !! RIP champ !!
What you said is true but we can’t forget Ray put on this masterful performance coming off a 3 YEAR layoff. Ray was brilliant to ask for the concessions he got. MHH wanted the fight so bad he accepted the terms. He can only blame himself for losing to a guy who was out the game for years. And Ray didn’t even take a tune up fight.
I always thought Hagler should have retired after the Mugabi fight he looked slow and got hit an awful lot,but i guess he got offered too much money to turn the Leonard fight down
It's called boxing, not fighting. Footwork, feinting, moving, and evading are all aspects of boxing. Two people just standing and trading is called a street fight.
Casuals tend to like toe to toe or “Mexican style” where you just sit there giving each other CTE for ten rounds. They like to call speedy defensive focused fighting “running” because their brains are smooth 🤷🏽♂️
This fight has been analyzed for decades by boxing experts and computer technology and the fact is that Marvelous Marvin Hager landed 73 percent of all clean punches landed. If Leonard threw a 6 punch combination and landed 1 clean punch, the crowd went crazy and obviously his score went up, however the fact is this. Apart from the fact that Haggler should never have agreed to Leonards demands for a bigger ring than the standard size and bigger gloves than the standard size, so Leonard could run away from Haggler and Haggler would find it more difficult to hurt Leonard with the bigger gloves. Haggler should have never agreed to the fight when Leonard ran away from Haggler when they were both in their prime and refused to fight Haggler
PLUS THE RABBIT ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO GO 15 ROUNDS -- AT THE END OF 12 HE WAS TOTALLY EXHAUSTED - HAGLER WAS READY TO FINALLY CATCH HIM -- THEN THE RABBIT BROKE OFF ALL CONTACT CONCERNING A REMATCH -- HE'S A TOTAL CHIKKENSH#T BUT HE WAS THE MEDIAS DARLING CHILD - DISGRACEFUL TO TREAT A CHAMP LIKE MARVIN LIKE THAT
Sugar Ray with his non effective, jaw dropping, crowd cheering flurry punching that did nothing other than hit Marvins gloves followed by hugs that even the Care Bears would be envious of. I have watched and re-watched and in slow motion and feel bad for the morons that thought Ray Leonard won, because they clearly weren't analyzing the fight, and Marvelous Marvin Hagler himself, for being robbed of a victory. Start of the 5th round, Marvin just walked him down the whole fight, and he did it beautifully. I'll never erase that 118 -110 score from my mind though.

Yh. Hagler really should have been kicking himself when he gave away the first 2 rounds when he decided to fight out of an orthodox stance. If he didn’t do that there would be no controversy. Although there would also be no guarantee that he would win the first 2 rounds if he fought out of a southpaw stance.
@@kennethanderson-wd2cxyeah But he was pissing in the wind! Those flurries did nothing but prove he had a little stamina left . If this was a few years earlier? Hagler would have knocked him out.
No way Hagler won this fight. He lost the 1st 4 rounds. So are the people who rooted for Hagler trying to say that Sugar Ray only won 1 round or didn't win anymore rounds in the fight after the 4th? That's crazy 😂
Facts, people only want see a slugfest, Leonard boxed Hagler’s head off in the first 4 rounds of the fight because he didn’t want to completely switch to southpaw.
Yo era un niño de 12 o 13 años y mi padre compró una colección de videos con los mejores combates de la historia.... Alí, Frazier, Ray Sugar, la cobra Heart, Roberto Durante mano de piedra...etc. Pero cuando vi a Marvin Haggler.....supe que mi boxeador favorito, su apodo Maravilla no era exagerado. Para mi el mejor boxeador libra por libra de la historia.
The people that say Hagler won don’t realize that he lost the first 4 rounds. He lost all 4 by a small amount. Unlike when Hagler fought Hearns, He just sat back and did almost nothing early.
I thought Hagler would win this one...when Ray came into the Beverly Hills restaurant I managed (a few weeks later) I congratulated him and he asked if I had picked him to win. I told him the truth, he respected my honesty. I wound up with a good photo of him and I.
EXACTLY! That's not a champion, it's long been known and respected even amongst the judges that you don't give a boxer with a questionable performance the title. I will never get over how much Leonard held the whole damn fight, I have never seen anything like it from any boxer EVER! Then, to give a boxer that performed like that the title, that's just WRONG!

Never tire of this. A classic of the ages. Leonard like the matador to the bull. Proving boxing is about movement, being smart, defence and counter offence. He approached this the way Bruce Lee wòuld have if he was a boxer. The art of boxing. Well thats my view but the opposing view is he run and stole the fight! 😂 Hagler was one dimensional in this fight plodding forward throwing the same punches hoping he would grind down Leonard and knock him out but he fell into the trap.
RIP to the marvelous Hagler my favourite boxer of all time but here credit to Leonard, a superb boxer that actually almost toyed with him dancing around the ring and hitting from every angle. Respect for both of them.

Anche un cieco avrebbe capito che il match era combinato, d'altronde la borsa in palio era notevole , 20 mln di dollari Hagler, 10 per Leonard. Poi sai dietro il mondo della boxe c'è tutto un mondo di scommesse, malaffari , chi avrebbe mai pensato che Hagler perdeva ai punti? Nessuno, da lì in poi è facile immaginare il resto.

Moralmente Hagler ne è uscito vincitore perché chi ne capisce di boxe, ha intuito la verità accettandola anche se con un po di amaro dentro.
What a fight remember it went. I had Leonard winning. Out of the 12 rounds Leonard clearly won 5 and Hagler 2. The 5th and the 9th clearly Hagler’s That leaves 5 close rounds. If you favoured Hagler in those you give the fight 7-5 for Hagler. If you favoured Leonard in close rounds you give it to him.
Exactly and people are literally acting like that’s not what happened. If Marvin went to the body he may very well have won but Leonard controlled the mind of Hagler and made him fight with frustration. Leonard clearly won this fight he even punched himself off the ropes multiple times, trading with Marvin and winning the exchange
Hagler was not used to fighting a boxer like Leonard. In hand-to-hand combat he was the best, but against a fast and dancing boxer his strengths were not easily imposed.
Marvelous Marvin is my favorite fighter of all time and the greatest middleweight in my lifetime. I’ve watched this fight multiple times and can’t get away from the fact that Marvin gave away the first four rounds and Leonard won the tactical game by stealing close rounds by throwing combinations at the end of them and impressing the judges. The fight was lost before the first bell by Hagler when he caved to Leonard’s demands for the 12 rounds, larger ring and gloves. Had It gone 15 rounds, Hagler would have knocked Ray out because he was gassed after 12 and Marvin was coming on. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Great fight. I think Ray won, but barely. Understand why Hagler not happy. Might have gone his way but Ray more popular.
Those spurts before the 10 second rounds finished barely hit their marks. What awful scoring by the officials, and the referee Richard Steele is the worse. Leonard played them all and he gifted for it.
@@NoName-ge6wcI watched this fight 5 times at first it looked like a draw to me but the next four times I get the same outcome 115-113 Marvin Hagler.

118-110 for Leonard is still insane wow
Agree
Biased all the way with that jack judge
And history repeated itself. Middleweight title, two of the best fighters of this era, insane chin man vs slick hands. Insane chin man gets robbed by a 118-110 scorecard. GGG vs Canelo. Should’ve won the 2nd fight too.
The look on Hagler's face said it all
This fight was fixed for Marvin to lose
Sugar Ray Leonard's excessive holding will always prove to me that he never wont this fight because he never actually boxed the entire fight. He held so much that Marvin couldn't fight. Now if anyone thinks that should be normal, you shouldn't be watching boxing. There was a time where excessive hugging in ONE round would cost you a point! Now, you can do it an entire fight and be called a CHAMPION? I mean, WTF!? Who in their right boxing mind thinks excessive holding is part of boxing!? In what Championship fight, has anyone ever seen this much HOLDING!?

Ali vs Frazier 2.

Why?
welcome to the world of Floyd Dogeweather Jr.
Sugar Ray waited, and waited, and waited some more. Reduced the number of rounds to 12. Required heavier gloves. He ran the entire boxing match and still lost on my card. Hearns/ Hagler - the best ever!
And the excessive holding, my gawd! He was warned damn near every single round and never had a point deducted!

Für mich bester Boxkampf aller Zeiten
Ray did trade with Marvin when he was cornered, but Marvin gave away the first two rounds being too cautious. He's still the best Middleweight of all time in my opinion.
Same here, I watched the fight many times Ray didn't let Marvin fight his fight and had the blueprint to beat the best middle weight of all time .Respect brother 🤝 🥊🥊
I thought he gave away the 1st 4…..
Who? Ray! He is the goat! Hagler. Not so much
@@mitchsixx1896 I said middleweight, not welterweight. Marvin is the best. Would say Ray Robinson, but he moved up and down in weight too much, didn't stay at middleweight long.
Watch the fight, boxing is boxing, not fighting, a supreme strategist against a fighter!
The fighter lost🤷🏻♂️!no argument to have !
Leonard ran away from Hagler and clenched. He also hit low blows that weren't penalised. Hagler, despite being past his best and after all the wars he'd been in had taken their toll by this time, still won this fight. Hagler is the greatest middleweight to have ever lived.

One judge goes 118-112 (or 113) Leonard and another says 115-112 Hagler, how could there be such a disparity ?
The judges decide who wins a round by the catergories of .. ring generalship, effective aggressiveness, defense and clean punches. Two judges had it a little closer. Remember judging is opinion . By round most fans and judges had the fight 7-5 or 8-4 some fans Seoul’s have called it a draw . We could of had a trilogy with Ray and Hagler🥊🥊🥊
@@wolfgameing2377 this disparity would tend to prove that subjectivity (or dishonesty ?) is the main influence on the judgement. But I remember a famous case where you'd question the honesty of the judges - Holyfield vs Lewis I comes to mind, where one of the judges said "she saw Holyfield land more punches" (!)
@@cedericocosantorini8013 the subjectivity means so much because Leonard landed a lot of quick flurries and a lot of the shots didnt land and the ones that did did almost no damage. Depends on how much you count those.
@@cedericocosantorini8013 I think it’s fair to say that most great champions are given at least one fight.. fights that come to mind Ali vs Norton 3, Whittaker vs Chavez, Lewis vs Holyfield that you mentioned, Mayweather vs Castillo, Holmes vs Witherspoon, Canelo vs Golovgin 1, etc

He held when he was in trouble, he held when he would miss, he held at times for the sake of holding. Warned throughout the ENTIRE fight about his excessive holding. The non effective punches that were nothing more than gloves padding Marvins gloves and shoulders? Stealing rounds with combo flurry's that weren't punches and had no actual power behind them?

When I need a little motivation, and watch a great middleweight fight this is one of the go-to fights for me. There’s a couple;
Mugabi VS. Hagler
Leonard vs. Hearns
Srl played Hagler for the fool ! I had this a draw and it should never have been that close. 1st srl had everyone gathered to supposedly announce fight with mmh, but retired. Once he felt that Hagler lost a step, he moved in. Gave mmh more money in exchange for bigger ring, bigger gloves, and 12 rnds. Hagler could not catch ray and looked slow all nite ! I still had it a draw, and had it been called a draw, it woulda forced a rematch in which srl wanted nothin to do with !! RIP champ !!
Truth
All part of the game both great,srl became a great motivational speaker
What you said is true but we can’t forget Ray put on this masterful performance coming off a 3 YEAR layoff. Ray was brilliant to ask for the concessions he got. MHH wanted the fight so bad he accepted the terms. He can only blame himself for losing to a guy who was out the game for years. And Ray didn’t even take a tune up fight.
I always thought Hagler should have retired after the Mugabi fight he looked slow and got hit an awful lot,but i guess he got offered too much money to turn the Leonard fight down
Great upload thank you
It's called boxing, not fighting. Footwork, feinting, moving, and evading are all aspects of boxing. Two people just standing and trading is called a street fight.
This fight is a work of art by Ray Leonard in my opinion. 🙂🥊🥊

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 Yes, I hate when they say he "ran" for 12 rounds or whatever. They simply do not understand the sport of Boxing. 🥊🥊
There is areason why we call it a fight night🤡🤡
This fight has been analyzed for decades by boxing experts and computer technology and the fact is that Marvelous Marvin Hager landed 73 percent of all clean punches landed. If Leonard threw a 6 punch combination and landed 1 clean punch, the crowd went crazy and obviously his score went up, however the fact is this. Apart from the fact that Haggler should never have agreed to Leonards demands for a bigger ring than the standard size and bigger gloves than the standard size, so Leonard could run away from Haggler and Haggler would find it more difficult to hurt Leonard with the bigger gloves. Haggler should have never agreed to the fight when Leonard ran away from Haggler when they were both in their prime and refused to fight Haggler
PLUS THE RABBIT ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO GO 15 ROUNDS -- AT THE END OF 12 HE WAS TOTALLY EXHAUSTED - HAGLER WAS READY TO FINALLY CATCH HIM -- THEN THE RABBIT BROKE OFF ALL CONTACT CONCERNING A REMATCH -- HE'S A TOTAL CHIKKENSH#T BUT HE WAS THE MEDIAS DARLING CHILD - DISGRACEFUL TO TREAT A CHAMP LIKE MARVIN LIKE THAT
Sugar Ray with his non effective, jaw dropping, crowd cheering flurry punching that did nothing other than hit Marvins gloves followed by hugs that even the Care Bears would be envious of. I have watched and re-watched and in slow motion and feel bad for the morons that thought Ray Leonard won, because they clearly weren't analyzing the fight, and Marvelous Marvin Hagler himself, for being robbed of a victory. Start of the 5th round, Marvin just walked him down the whole fight, and he did it beautifully. I'll never erase that 118 -110 score from my mind though.

Sugar Ray won this fight. When Sugar Ray lost, he would say it. Like when he fought Hearns the second time. He said Thomas beat me.

Rounds 1 to 4 Sugar ray leonard
Round 5 Marvin hagler
Round 6 Sugar Ray Leonard
Rounds 7 to 10 Marvin hagler (although the 10th round was very close could very easily score it for Leonard)
Round 11 Sugar ray Leonard
Round 12 Marvin hagler
114-114
Good scoring but rounds 10 and 12 were so close. If you split them it’s 7-5 Leonard. Leonard had a huge flurry to start round 12
Yh. Hagler really should have been kicking himself when he gave away the first 2 rounds when he decided to fight out of an orthodox stance. If he didn’t do that there would be no controversy. Although there would also be no guarantee that he would win the first 2 rounds if he fought out of a southpaw stance.
LEONARD WON ROUND 9. GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT CLOSLEY.
I have every round the same except for round 4, I think hagler won that round and he would win 7-5. I might have to rewatch it again

Leonard refused to fight a 15 round fight because he new Hagler would knock him out.
If he couldn't do it in 12, he couldn't in 15. Leonard would have the advantage if the fight went longer.
Boxing was the victor. Fantastic fight that will live for evermore.
No way Hagler won this fight. He lost the 1st 4 rounds. So are the people who rooted for Hagler trying to say that Sugar Ray only won 1 round or didn't win anymore rounds in the fight after the 4th? That's crazy 😂
Bs Hagler won round four. You just thinking with your feelings not with head. Hagler won 115-113 and thats coming from a Wilfredo Gomez boxing fan.
Facts, people only want see a slugfest, Leonard boxed Hagler’s head off in the first 4 rounds of the fight because he didn’t want to completely switch to southpaw.
Yo era un niño de 12 o 13 años y mi padre compró una colección de videos con los mejores combates de la historia.... Alí, Frazier, Ray Sugar, la cobra Heart, Roberto Durante mano de piedra...etc. Pero cuando vi a Marvin Haggler.....supe que mi boxeador favorito, su apodo Maravilla no era exagerado. Para mi el mejor boxeador libra por libra de la historia.
I still give the edge to Leonard 7-5 and Marvin is my favorite fighter ever
I have it 7-5 Marvin haggler
Thanks for being honest.
Beautiful boxing by Leonard; banging that big head!!!!
One of the greatest boxing matches ever.
Thats why its called boxing and not fighting.
What an incredible fight.
I still think Hagler won, but I won’t call it a robbery.
The people that say Hagler won don’t realize that he lost the first 4 rounds. He lost all 4 by a small amount. Unlike when Hagler fought Hearns, He just sat back and did almost nothing early.
i love this video so much
Ray was so sharp and technical . The GOaT
never liked Leanard he was too flashy with no substance!
SRL is class personified. Much respect to Hagler as well.
Marvin couldn’t catch him long enough to put Ray down . Hagler closest chances came in the 5th and 9 th rounds
Beautiful Fight 👏🏾
118-110 is crazy but had it a draw could of gone either way
I thought Hagler would win this one...when Ray came into the Beverly Hills restaurant I managed (a few weeks later) I congratulated him and he asked if I had picked him to win. I told him the truth, he respected my honesty. I wound up with a good photo of him and I.
what did he eat?
I scored it 115-113 for Hagler. You can't take someone's title fighting the way Leonard fought in my opinion.
Leonard danced around all night. That decision still pisses me off!
EXACTLY! That's not a champion, it's long been known and respected even amongst the judges that you don't give a boxer with a questionable performance the title.

DOS 2️⃣ GRANDES DEL BOXEO MUNDIAL 👆🏻
Leonard was unbelievable against a strong Hagler. He boxed him throughout the fight. What a fight this was. I remember it like yesterday.
Esa fué una pelea maravillosa , donde LEONARD ganó dos medallas: una corriendo toda la noche. Y la otra abrazando con mucho amor a MARVIN HAGLER.
Never tire of this. A classic of the ages. Leonard like the matador to the bull. Proving boxing is about movement, being smart, defence and counter offence. He approached this the way Bruce Lee wòuld have if he was a boxer. The art of boxing. Well thats my view but the opposing view is he run and stole the fight! 😂 Hagler was one dimensional in this fight plodding forward throwing the same punches hoping he would grind down Leonard and knock him out but he fell into the trap.
Matadors don't hug or hold bulls.
Even the commentators bias towards sugar ray
The whole world knows Hagler won, politics Leonard was boxings golden/poster boy
I’ve watched this fight several times I still have no idea how people thought hagler won Leonard put on a masterclass

What a fight remember it went. I had Leonard winning. Out of the 12 rounds Leonard clearly won 5 and Hagler 2. The 5th and the 9th clearly Hagler’s That leaves 5 close rounds. If you favoured Hagler in those you give the fight 7-5 for Hagler. If you favoured Leonard in close rounds you give it to him.
it was for the weight division right?
Overall, Leonard landed 306 of his 629 thrown punches (49%) compared to Hagler's 291 out of 792 (37%).
And Leonard landed more power punches, especially to the head.
Exactly and people are literally acting like that’s not what happened. If Marvin went to the body he may very well have won but Leonard controlled the mind of Hagler and made him fight with frustration. Leonard clearly won this fight he even punched himself off the ropes multiple times, trading with Marvin and winning the exchange
Facts but a lot of them acting like Hagler had Leonard hurt bout to knock him out
Hagler was not used to fighting a boxer like Leonard. In hand-to-hand combat he was the best, but against a fast and dancing boxer his strengths were not easily imposed.
@@javiercampora4113 well put
Marvelous Marvin is my favorite fighter of all time and the greatest middleweight in my lifetime. I’ve watched this fight multiple times and can’t get away from the fact that Marvin gave away the first four rounds and Leonard won the tactical game by stealing close rounds by throwing combinations at the end of them and impressing the judges. The fight was lost before the first bell by Hagler when he caved to Leonard’s demands for the 12 rounds, larger ring and gloves. Had It gone 15 rounds, Hagler would have knocked Ray out because he was gassed after 12 and Marvin was coming on. RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I watched this fight live and the judging was a disgrace. Someone made a lot of money on this clearly fixed fight.
