No one in the middleweight division back in the 1980's could beat Marvin Hagler he was a skilled boxer puncher who was primarily a southpaw and ambidextrous which made him very dangerous. There was no one in his weight class that could give him a serious challenge or a big payday. His best challengers were the legends who moved up in weight Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. As a pure middleweight against other career 160 lb. contenders Marvelous Marvin Hagler's skill set was ahead of his time.
@@jimnagel5611 I agree, but as a Hagler fan I feel Marvin fought the wrong fight that night. He tried to fight Leonard's fight. He tried to outbox the boxer but I still feel he won but it would have been more convincing had he fought HIS fight.
Actually he tried to fight against the higher weight division champion, but all of them turn down the offer. He could be the multi division champ actually.
@@greenmountavenue4122you ,being a Hagler fan, must have missed Leonard in complete control of the fight.Only getting a little closer when Leonard got tired at the end of a couple of rounds do to his inactivity over the years.
@@jeremysipes44 that is just too funny Mayweather Jr learned from Leonard. Don't fight them till they get old. Don't engage until the end of the round and make it look pretty. No need to hit hard just pretty
MARVELOUS with a BEAUTIFUL KNOCKOUT ! Pound for Pound THE BEST. Didn't catch this fight live, HBO was a baby. But DID catch that AARON PRYOR vs ALEXIS ARQUELLO on CBS. Fight of the Decade.
Marvin had this knack of jumping in with the right hook, & he did the same thing with his right jab - jumping in with the jab seemed to multiply it's power & turn it into a power-shot....
thanks much for this. love watching shows with all the pre-fight stuff. what a strange venue and occasion though. 'toy' ring, hardly any audience, and most of them sitting unresponsive. great win for MMH nevertheless......
IVE BEEN A HAGLER FAN WHEN I SEEN HIM FIGHT FOR THE TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I THOUGHT HE WON THAT FIGHT I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW HIM BEFORE THAT I THINK HAGLER WAS MADE TO BE A FIGHTER.
Obel looked to be improved early on from the first fight, utilizing that scythe-like right uppercut to the body and those bolo shots to the head, landing some good shots and generally keeping the fight at his own range. This shows that if the situation called for it, Hagler could always fight the kinda fight he did against Hearns. From the third round on he just switched up his state of mind, bored into Obel and started trading and banging away, which Obel clearly was unable to take much of. The fight became one-sided very quickly after that.
Tenía que aver un ganador ! Y cualquiera d los 2 tenía que caer, salutez a los dos donde quiera que estén. Salutez y grazie pur le video , adioos amigooos . Desde Ags, mex.21,12,2021
A fight you want to watch during the weekend , wife & kids gone out . Just myself & some beers .🤗 No one , I mean no one got anything on Marvelous Marvin Hagler . He would put GGG & Canelo in a coma.
No problem mate, uploading Roldan and Sibson today/tomorrow. Also have Hart, Briscoe Fully Obel I and a few others. All will be uploaded, takes time uploading and mega slows my internet. So I can't do it constantly as I'm on wireless not wired.
The tremendous conditioning he displays is incredible. Constantly fresh,energetic and ready. It is so satisfying to know that all the great fighters and actors are holding the test of time.
Hagler was pissed he had to fight this challenger instead of Hearns or a big name for a big payday. Obel wasn’t a left challenger and every time he beat someone with the promise of a big $ fight the goal lost was moved. He deserved the $15mil he got for Hearns & the $25 he earned vs Leonard. A fight he won if the judges Ahmad truly been impartial! They were NOT fair judges. They were protecting a lesser fighter.
One of the BEST post on Boxing I've ever seen. I sincerely do thank U for posting this video. AMAZING. & the best part, right B4 the Fighter's Announcement, the weEd kicked in...woW! Makes me ready to "Throw Down"
He would not be 50-0. He would be forced to fight elite level fighters at not wait till they aged out or some other tactic. He would have had to fight Donald Curry, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Wilfred Benitez, Hector Camacho etc... his myth would have been exposed.
@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 You know Floyd was older and naturally smaller than a lot of the guys he fought at welterweight and super welterweight right? I intend no disrespect, and I'll try not to assume you're part of the crowd who listens to biased media and doesn't do the research. Duran for example, fought against some guys who would be considered tomato cans during his reign; this when Duran was 60 plus fights into his career and he fighting guys with less than 10 fights. Some of y'all real selective with what y'all criticize. What about Leonard waiting till Hagler was old, or waiting till Hearns was on the slide before giving him a rematch? Wilfred Benitez fought a lowly ranked fighter named East Boy Lake or something like that 3 times lol.. There's many fighters from that era we can nitpick. The business of boxing changes over time, as it does with other sports. And the athletes adjust with the times accordingly. Don't have to shit on other boxers to promote other boxers.
My laptop with all my fights broke, I still have the hard drive but want to make sure it wasn't the hard-drive that caused the break before I put it into my other laptop. I should be able to get it in sometime, I'll keep the request in mind. As for the match-up. I think Hearns has this, not because Floyd is worse but he's too small and if anything is bad for Floyds counter-punching it's Hearns massive reach and boxing ability. Floyd will make it competitive but he'll lose a decision IMO.
For years people ducked Hagler and when he finally won the title he was determined to just mop the floor with anybody who fought him. He took on every number 1 contender and ducked no one! I still contend tha Hagler beat Leonard!
SRL was a great boxing who had sharp punches and great combinations, and he was faster on his feet than Hagler. SRL also had the same kind of determination. I think their fight in 87 was close, but SRL was retired for years and still won a controversial decision. I think if Leonard was in his prime he might have outboxed Hagler.
I just realised who the referee is. The same guy who refereed DURAN's absolute destruction of Davey Moore. I thought he was slow to stop that fight. Moore could have been killed. And Duran was absolutely unatoppable. This was a routine workout for MMH. RIP to him.
I know Marvin Hagler beat Obelmejias 2 times, but Obel was vicious puncher definately!! I think he rocked Hagelr couple times in this fight and many times in first fight!!
thank god for youtube and the internet... if it wasnt for that I would not have found Marvellous Marvin Hagler
Marvelous Marvin Hagler..better then a superhero

Brutal. Hagler was unstoppable at this point in his career.
@Martin S Clueless

Thankyou for uploading Marvelous Marvin Haglers fights. My favorite fighter. You are the man.
When Hagler decide to push on the accelerator the result is this. Great.
Hagler has always been my boxing hero. Great upload. Thanks.
knnbvvvvhhcyj .
uvuhvh bv vvghh
Finally had a chance to watch this fight in it entirety. Thanks a lot for sharing this :)
Marvin Hagler: "I gave him such a whooping, that it surprises me today that this man wants to come for a return match" hahahhahah
First time i see the interview i was very surprised how chill he is with leonard. So much respect between them outside the ring. Role Model. 🔥
Hagler was the perfect boxer!!!
Marvin had this knack of jumping in with the right hook, & he did the same thing with his right jab - jumping in with the jab seemed to multiply it's power & turn it into a power-shot....
He learned that technique from his boxing Idol Floyd Patterson. It was called the Gazelle punch 🥊
@kc1973able That's the one. It's almost like a martial arts superman punch.
기본적으로 왼손잡이인 hagler가 순간적으로 stance를 바꿔 오른손 hook 한방이 이번 시합의 finish blow였네.
이처럼 해글러는 상황에 따라 양쪽 스탠스를 자유자재로 쓰는 선수였기에 상대 입장에서 그를 이기기 매우 어려웠을 듯 합니다.
Si estoy de acuerdo con tigo
thanks much for this. love watching shows with all the pre-fight stuff. what a strange venue and occasion though. 'toy' ring, hardly any audience, and most of them sitting unresponsive. great win for MMH nevertheless......
Obelmejias siempre fue un bate quebrao sus adversarios fueron siempre de pacotilla hasta que le toco esta estrella de Boxeo y lo puso en su lugar.
Man, Hagler was the best of his era, if not ever. What a killer!
been wanting to see this fight thanxx
Yo man I just wanted to thank you for all your Marvelous Marvin Hagler uploads.Really appreciated
Marvin... what a character
obel is landing some wicked shots but Hagler is eating them.
IVE BEEN A HAGLER FAN WHEN I SEEN HIM FIGHT FOR THE TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I THOUGHT HE WON THAT FIGHT I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW HIM BEFORE THAT I THINK HAGLER WAS MADE TO BE A FIGHTER.
Hagler’s just too strong!
The best in my humble opinion
Obel looked to be improved early on from the first fight, utilizing that scythe-like right uppercut to the body and those bolo shots to the head, landing some good shots and generally keeping the fight at his own range.

A fight you want to watch during the weekend , wife & kids gone out . Just myself & some beers .🤗
No one , I mean no one got anything on Marvelous Marvin Hagler . He would put GGG & Canelo in a coma.
Obel was well connected and well managed. he did not deserve a second shot at haggler as he was comprehensively defeated in the first fight
Obel had improved since the first bout but unfortunately, so did Hagler. It was this fight that made Hagler my favorite fighter of all time.
No problem mate, uploading Roldan and Sibson today/tomorrow. Also have Hart, Briscoe Fully Obel I and a few others.
All will be uploaded, takes time uploading and mega slows my internet. So I can't do it constantly as I'm on wireless not wired.
Hey do you have the rest of this card, my dad fought freddie roach on the undercard of this bout and I have been lookin everywhere for footage
Obel was freaking huge for a middleweight . Later won a super middle belt iirc
Sometimes from defeat you get victory after being beat out and knocked out by the master of disaster that Hagler Obel got that title
hagler was a fuckin monster
je l aime Marvin hagler le meilleur du monde Jean Marc
The tremendous conditioning he displays is incredible. Constantly fresh,energetic and ready. It is so satisfying to know that all the great fighters and actors are holding the test of time.
Hagler at his peak.
Hagler was very pissed off here for being forced to fight the WBA's golden boy again.
wow i was shocked to find out SRL was the one interviewing Marvellous
Hagler was pissed he had to fight this challenger instead of Hearns or a big name for a big payday. Obel wasn’t a left challenger and every time he beat someone with the promise of a big $ fight the goal lost was moved. He deserved the $15mil he got for Hearns & the $25 he earned vs Leonard.

He wasnt called Marvelous for nothing.
Called? They wouldn't give him a nickname he had to legally change his name
Any other full Hagler fights you want?
No bother pal. If there's any more you want I'll try and get them uploaded for you.
38:42 Who hit me? 🤭
I can get Sibson, not sure about Roldan, will upload in the next few days.
Damn, Obelmejias caught a cold again, just before entering the ring.
Lol. Yeah, funny how he managed to get sick AFTER Hagler beat him. 😆
Lol 😆👌
Im suprised Ray Leonard is promoting & interviewing Hagler. I thought they were rivals.
I'll work something out and try and get it on youtube.
Marvin Hagler vs Bennie Briscoe has been uploaded. (:
That was Ray Leonard, trying to speak
Obelmejias era un bate quebrado, no tenia vida con unos de los mejores libra por libra.
good fight
just to confirm I have Roldan.
Why are they wearing tuxedos?
🕊️
Best middle weight ever! Would destroy any middle weight today, Easily
세계 🌍 프로복싱 미들급 타이틀 매치 🇺🇸 마빈 헤글러💥🇻🇪 오벨 메히야스 K0❤️🔥
I don't know who advised him to take a second fight with Marvin haggler Maybe he likes slow punishing pain.Just saying
One of the BEST post on Boxing I've ever seen. I sincerely do thank U for posting this video. AMAZING. & the best part, right B4 the Fighter's Announcement, the weEd kicked in...woW! Makes me ready to "Throw Down"
i love watching old fights , and what if mayweather had fought in this era? it will never be exciting the way it was i believed :)
Mayweather wasn’t busy enough to deal with the champions of the 70’s and 80’s.
He would not be 50-0. He would be forced to fight elite level fighters at not wait till they aged out or some other tactic. He would have had to fight Donald Curry, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Wilfred Benitez, Hector Camacho etc... his myth would have been exposed.

@@jia1596 your comment 🥱
Man Fulgencio Obelmejias is a heavyweight. But who has lost weight. This is not fair play! This is crazy that Hagler won over an actual heavy wight
My laptop with all my fights broke, I still have the hard drive but want to make sure it wasn't the hard-drive that caused the break before I put it into my other laptop. I should be able to get it in sometime, I'll keep the request in mind.
As for the match-up. I think Hearns has this, not because Floyd is worse but he's too small and if anything is bad for Floyds counter-punching it's Hearns massive reach and boxing ability. Floyd will make it competitive but he'll lose a decision IMO.
To Obel even after being demolished by the master of disaster Hagler he came back to win a title and got the dream
I'm Italian, and I feel real sorry for those Italian boys over there
Marvin always needed a couple of rounds to get moving except the fight with Hearns! Then you should get out of Dodge.
Obelmejias was all mouth.
焉敢生心 해글러에게 도전하려했다니....
맞아 죽을뻔......
The only 1 that 1 gave the chance to beat Marvelous was....El Torito Ayala
For years people ducked Hagler and when he finally won the title he was determined to just mop the floor with anybody who fought him. He took on every number 1 contender and ducked no one! I still contend tha Hagler beat Leonard!
That shows just how dirty boxing was back then. Hagler won this fight EASILY and its right here for PROOF.
MMH would of annihilted SRL . He knew it that is why he ducked him for so long
SRL was a great boxing who had sharp punches and great combinations, and he was faster on his feet than Hagler. SRL also had the same kind of determination. I think their fight in 87 was close, but SRL was retired for years and still won a controversial decision. I think if Leonard was in his prime he might have outboxed Hagler.
I just realised who the referee is.
The same guy who refereed DURAN's absolute destruction of Davey Moore.
I thought he was slow to stop that fight. Moore could have been killed. And Duran was absolutely unatoppable.
This was a routine workout for MMH.
RIP to him.
Marv not his best work at all. 3am start prob messed him up
I don’t know if it’s after or before ray came back to take the title of haggler.
Blaming getting an ass-whipping on having a cold? Really? Hagler could have had double pneumonia and it wouldn't have made a damned difference.
Marvin Hagler is Jamaican right!
No why? Is that an inside joke?
He's from Brockton, Massachusetts
Leman Kurtz haglers actually from New Jersey.
SHIET
I don't, sorry. I'll ask around for you though.
I know Marvin Hagler beat Obelmejias 2 times, but Obel was vicious puncher definately!! I think he rocked Hagelr couple times in this fight and many times in first fight!!
No... He didn't!!!!
Nahh man , wtf is wrong with you 😆
