Who all came back to watch this after seeing them on Hotboxin with Mike Tyson?
I came
Tyson said it himself, Hearns won this fight , judges loved Sugar ( Hagler , Hearns 2 )
I did!
@@sevenrats o
Literally
We will never, ever, see fighters like this again. Ever. It's gone forever. Thank God for youtube.

Yeah I think I’m going to get the TH-cam premium. I feel like I owe them a little something for all the entertainment they have given me with this never ending library of great fights.
Extreme fighting took over
yea =its sad id say canelo is pretty close.
Boxing has ebs and flows. The 80s really wasn't a great time for boxing, but the 90s were and the early 2000s. Not to mention MMA is stealing so much talent.
Tommy was just too nice a person to argue with the result. He won that fight, and everyone knows it.
Why they rule against him?
@@jakkritphanomchit boxing corruption. Hasn’t change all that much
@@jakkritphanomchit Leonard was Boxing’s Golden Boy. They also gave him the Hagler Decision.
@@jakkritphanomchit because Ray beat his rear and had him CLOSE to being KO’d at least TWICE in that fight, landed the harder more effective punches and was NEVER hurt. And the first so-called “knockdown”….wasn’t. It was a SLIP/PUSH. A draw was appropriate…
Stoke 🤮🤢
This was a good rematch even though 8 years overdue, the crowds reaction to the horrible judges decision is priceless!
this fight was less of a draw than the hagler leonard fight that leonard "won".
Are you serious about Leonard beating Hagler...... Man what fight did you watch.....
@@lamara8497 I never said Leonard beat Hagler, he was given overly generous treatment by the Boxing Officials.
My bad bro. That comment was meant for another comment not yours and posted it on the wrong comment section not paying attention.
@@carlbanks4137 I due agree the fight was long overdue. Hagler was my favorite boxer. Followed by Hearns then Leonard. I give Hearns the hometown love. But a great era of boxing at that weight class still
Superb fighters. Power, skill, speed and heart all on display.
Truly was a golden era. RIP Marvin.
This could be a GOLDEN era as well Heavyweights, Light Heavies, Middleweights, and Welters except everyone s too AFRAID to risk their standing w a loss
They all want the big PPV but casual sports fan s never heard of anyone save Fury, Wilder, Canelo, and GGG no one else is an A side...sorry Bud and Errol! the truth hurts!
Both boxers a little past their peaks but still put on a great show.
Hearns was robbed of course and showed great humility and class not to have ranted and raged at the injustice he suffered that night.
Boxing’s greatest era in my opinion.
Amen 2 dat .
@@bayouboy8644 why? I agree Tommy got robbed but why would Leonard be ashamed of himself for the decision it isn’t his fight and he showed great determination as always
@@cade9173 Dont get it wrong, I think Lenard is one of the best, he allows gave a 110%. And he ALWAYS fought his way through a tuff fight, I just felt he could have been a more humble and said, it was a very close fight and could have gone either way, and I feel good that I got the Victory. And Lenard was smart always used the ring and his foot speed to his advantage, but when DeLaHoya did it, they called in running, Boxing like Politics has many double standards. Respectfully.
Good fight. Ray all the way. It was close.
@@bayouboy8644 he has. When he talks about this fight he says that hearns won the second fight.
This was the best era in boxing. Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran.....Just so many great fighters in this weight class at that time.

@@marco.antoniotaboada.huamb6932 t
Hard to rank these 4 legends.
I agree. A golden era that is unlikely to be repeated in any weight division.
I put Wilfred Benitez in the group as well.
Look how well the two treat each other after the fight. This is true sportsmanship.
Two classy boxers. Boxing was at its best that night.
Exactly
I saw Leonard years ago in TV telling Hearns: "Tommy, you won that fight, i lost it.." what a humble guy is Sugar Ray!!!
Back when some fighters knew the game, be a pro all the time.
Sugar ray on hotboxin “Tommy I’ll knock you out right now”
How long after?
@@LiamHdProductions lol, that's why I'm here. Just watched both their fights. Epic
Both Hearns and Leonard were past their peaks at this point, but I don't ever recall two boxers who matched up so evenly against each other. The speed and boxing ability of Leonard, the raw power and explosive punching ability of Hearns. They definitely put on two all time classic matches.
Great fight. Agree with those who say Hearns won. Still, what a battle. Leonard's combination in the fifth was incredible.
Sugar in recent years was a big enough man to admit Tommy won this fight. Props to him. Greatest era of boxing IMO. Im from Detroit & was a huge Hearns fan, actually saw him in somewhat of a dive bar in a suburb of Detroit about 6 wks ago. He was eating lunch as I was, got a fist bump from him, made my life !
Funny, I’m from PGC Maryland and met Ray a bunch of times coming up boxing in the area. But I modeled my style after Hearns because I’m tall and lean for my weight class. I got to meet Hearns at a tournament one time and he was pure class. They don’t make them like they use to.
@@Thor-Orion, Amen to that Brother ! Great ERA of boxing legends & you got to meet two of the greatest, there were many.
Mad respect to these 2 boxers.
Delosmjores
Yeah fasho
Hearns was incredibly humble in the post fight interview. That always impresses me almost as much as the fight itself.
He had every right to be pissed off but it's a testament to his character and class that he still was smiling. I think because so many people had counted him out prior to this, the fact that he survived was satisfying.
Hearns was and is always humble,the complete antithesis of the likes of Hamed,Camacho,Mayweather etc.He broke his hand in the first round against Hagler,never brought it up as an excuse,in order not to try to diminish Hagler’s victory.Was and is always a class act.

One of the greatest fights ever by two of the greatest fighters ever! We don't see these types of fights these days too often.
Two incredible warriors! I sure miss those days. This guys are both extremely talented professional fighters. One of the best fights I have seen. Both guys are great
Continue watching
I love the feeling from watching other Hearns fights the he thinks it's over at 9:34. And then you have another 40 minutes from these two legends. Spectacular.
Love that interaction at the end with Hearns asking Leonard about the rematch "What you think man, you wanna rematch?" "Yeah let's do it" "Let's go home and rest for a bit then make a decision" lol so wholesome you never see that kind of stuff today

Jamás habrá una calidad de boxeadores como en aquella época, era una época de titanes, boxeaban con el corazón.
Pero ninguno quiso pelear con pambele
En la categoría de Walter juniors pambele les daba sopa y seco o si no pregúntele a nicolino Loche
I came up boxing in the area where Ray Leonard’s gym is, and I’ve met him a bunch of times. But I’m pretty tall and lean for my weight class so I modeled a lot of my style on Tommy Hearns. I had a conversation with Ray one time about watching tape on the greats and taking everything I could from their matches. He asked me which fighter I thought my style was most like and I told him that it was Tommy. He said that I picked a great fighter to emulate and told me not to forget about Tommy’s most important attribute which he considered to be his heart and determination. Seeing them together on Mike Tyson’s podcast was awesome for me, I have the upmost respect for both of these great champions (and for Iron Mike as well, obviously).
The snap in Hearns’s jab was just crazy. It was like Larry Holmes’s jab but faster. Hearn’s weaknesses were his legs and his lax defense, but dude was still a killer.
U
Hearns didn't have the chin that Hagler and SRL had
And his chin
Back in the day, these fighters gave up their lives to give the fans amazing fights. No matter who wins, 12-15 rounds is pure hell on earth for any man. If you take the time to look in their faces at the final round, you can see the life leaving their body as the step up to keep fighting and to win. INCREDIBLE.
Hearns won this fight and I love Sugar Ray.
Back in the day? Lol I believe you haven't seen Morales, Barrera, Marquez, even Canelo bouts with GGG make the list! Chavez vs Taylor 1-2, and a long list,....
Boxers also ‘gave up their lives’ for their checks, don’t forget that that is the main reason!!!

So true. They gave everything in the process.
Not necessarily. Tim Witherspoon said he actually had fun in that fight against larry holmes.

I never heard hearns speak before. He seems different than I thought he'd be. Always seemed like a dangerous badass but hearing him speak he seems like a decent fellow.
This is called high Class Boxing Fight.. Both so much skills, talented, pure heart and never give up mentality from both..

Totally agree with you. Watching on 22 March 2021 from England UK. 🙂
@@ppgedez Thanks buddy
The true days of the gladiators! These guys gave the boxing world some of the greatest fights in history. I can’t really watch the sport today.
I am a huge Tommy fan, and was stationed at Nellis AFB I had the day of April 14th off and walked thru Caesars Palace and went to the arena and sat there alone. I brought a silver dollar and said some huge prayers to God to protect Tommy and no matter what do not let him get knocked down. After my prayers I slid that dollar under the ring post. The next day i went to the fight with a close friend from the service at Nellis AFB. And no shit Tommy got rocked where I left that dollar and he didnot go down. Just saying this is part of history, the things that happened before a huge fight in boxing history. !!!!!
Easily one of the greatest athletic accomplishments from both fighters.... of all time. Astounding
I can't.!
Tommy was nothing but pure class in the post fight interview! He was one of my favorite fighters of that era.
Same here, pure class. Elite hands
True.. Tommy might not be like beloved fighter from majority of the casual fans unlike Sugar Ray leonard but the real one's gave credit and loved him as always..
@@zochhuanawmazote1658yessir it’s sad tho he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves bec he was a monster and one of the greatest of all time and I also have him 2 or 3 in the middleweight kings I keep going back on Tommy and SRL but what a warrior and classy man
Auténticos Titanes del Boxeo
Emocionante pelea 2022
Sin lugar a dudas deben de estar en el salón de la Fama del Boxeo
Gracias Sugar
Gracias Tommy 👏👏👏🥊🤩
Realmente dos GRANDIOSOS Boxeadores que se brindaban 100%al espectáculo yo recuerdo una pelea entre ellos,no recuerdo bien el año,pero fue cuando Sugar Leonard lo cruzó con un derechazo,creo,y Tomy Hearns lo sintió y retuvo la vertical INOLVIDABLE para mi ese peleón
I think Hearns had every reason to believe he should have been awarded the decision, but he was gallant in accepting the draw. It was a very close fight, but based on the two knockdowns, if I’d have been scoring I’d have given it to Hearns.
Good thing you are no judge, but the judges here knew better.
@@realalsenor
.
@@realalsenor joke, right?
Uno de los robos más descarados del boxeo, el q le hicieron a Tommy heards
@@realalsenor The judges knew who writes their checks. Even if this fight had been dead even for every other round, two knockdowns on one side on top of that decide the fight. You're out of your skull.
Tommy was robbed....even though great fight, 2 champions
nothing new ... travesty
🤣👏🏽 go to sleep boy
If you knew anything about boxing you would know the 2 times in this fight that Hearns lost a point to the judges officially, they had no choice but to deduct, as a trained judge i know this but i won't bother pointing it out, people don't listen, maybe if you look closer you can work it out yourself??!!!
@@Rick356A am not a boxing expert but believe I know enough to believe that Tommy was robbed - absolute travesty !!!
@@brucewayne3602 exactly !
My deepest respect to both. Real sportsmen when boxing was real.
How Hearns didn’t win this fight is beyond me
In the last round he looked like he was beyond exhaustion that he couldn't even pretend to fake a punch. That made him look very bad to the judges. Maybe Hearns was too peaceful with Leonard, he looks like they're close friends and so there was none of that extra energy you get from fighting with bad blood. Psychologically Hearns wasn't fighting, and was told to fight but just seemed to have no beef with Leonard.
@@goognamgoognw6637Regardless that’s not how the scoring works. And Boxing, MMA, and Kickboxing it is all the same. The scoring criteria is done round by round. Hearns one more rounds on points, simple as that. Corrupt boxing
@@nicholasmessina6406 Of course , i agree. Hearns won. But we live in a time where everything is 10x more corrupt than when that fight took place in the 1980's.
I am quite sure Hearns was scripted to loose.
@@nicholasmessina6406 Exactly.
Hearns showed tremendous heart. All respect to him. Deserved the victory. Good for him. Hats off to you too Ray. This was not a draw …..
That jab from Hearns was one of the best! 💪 Both are legends but I always liked Hearns more, great fight!
I’m with you. I was definitely a hit man fan!
By 56 xterm zip 27th
Larry Holmes jab was the best, and that was Ali's opinion.
I pray both men are happy and content today. I can say today that during this time period color meant nothing. These matches remind of that, and love these men today. Whoever is responsible for letting the public watch these classics once more, might start the healing process to begin in this country. Come on folks and you all got to loosen up when it comes to race. Do not let these naysayers provoke you into something your not.
@@abhhf605
..
My God!!! What a fight..... both fighters were tremendous it was fighters and fights like these that made boxing so entertaining. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 super
A draw isn't too far fetched.
I scored it 112-112 even crazy enough.
Many of the middle to late arounds were swing rounds in my honest opinion and Leonard fought his ass off in the 12th & final round.
2 Legends that will never be replicated... Bravo!
Hearns gets two 10-8 rounds in the 3rd and the 11th rounds for the knockdowns. The two big rounds Leonard had in the 5th and the 12th were devoid of knockdowns and he didn't dominate enough to get 10-8 rounds in either instance. That being the case, Leonard needs to win that fight eight rounds to four in order to get a 112-112 draw. There's no way in hell Ray won eight rounds of that fight.
Leonard admitted he lost and that says it all. The decision was only proof of his star power, which was something that Ali benefitted from late in his career.
@@TomGray-pq4keFacts!. Ray got his ass beat. Point blank period!
@@man-ty8edit was a close fight and Leonard easily won the 12th
I agree. It was very very close and could be scored either way. I have Ray winning 2 rounds 10-8.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler's commentary during the fight kept cracking me the hell up! 🤣🤣 He couldn't hide his legendary disdain for Sugar Ray Leonard. While the other commentators tried to be as objective as possible, the Champ couldn't help himself with funny jabs at Leonard. It was as if when Hearns wasn't doing enough, he wanted to jump in there, borrow Hearn's gloves, and finish the job. Lmao! Continue to Rest in Power Champ!
It was a disgrace from the referee not deducting points for after the bell hits and low blows; Hearns won the fight and was robbed of an absolutely courageous victory.
Can't remember which round it was but I laughed when Hagler cheered "Come on Tommy". Yup, you knew that Hags was in Tommy's corner lol.
@@josephmaxwell5033 he didn't fight half the fight what you mean
@@dankoftinoff8119 he did that in several rounds
@@megaghostly1 : Listen to the main protagonists, the men involved talking; Even Sugar Ray Leonard has admitted and gone on record as saying, Tommy won the fight.
Hearns does not gripe to this day at the decision because as he says, at least he didn’t lose.. A true measure of the man in the reality of the day.
With the officials as bad as they were, he was probably right to remain silent this has been his stance ever since the fight.
Apparently you disagree and know better than the guys who fought the fight? Have a word with yourself; wrong! 😂😇😎
RIP to Mr Hagler. 🥊🥊🙏🙏
The Hitman won this 1.
he certainly did ... Blessings to Marvin & Tommy as well ... Tommy is not well & the least he deserves is HEALTH !!!
@@brucewayne3602 Yes sir I didn't know that about Hitman.
Good diggeR
If that fight had been a mirror image with Leonard being the one with the two knockdowns he would definitely have been awarded the decision.
The Mike Tyson Podcast 👏 😆🤣 with Hearns and Sugar Ray is classic 😆 I really thought a fight was about to break out.
Leonard was seen as a flashy fighter at the time. Looking back he had a granite chin.
He got dropped twice in this fight. And a number of times during his career.
@@karriemsharief He did, but to be fair, he always got up ready to fight
@@mariastenljung9159 Leonard had heart. But he didn't have a granite chin. Far from it.
Leonard had a great chin, look at the first Hearns fight, and the toe to toe with Hagler. Anyone that says Leonard didn't have a good chin doesn't know the boxing game.
@@garyalu5636 Do you even watch boxing? Leonard was dropped at least 10 times in his career. He ran from Hagler for 12 rounds and was hurt in each of his fights with Hearns. He was knocked out by Camacho. Hagler had a granite chin. Hearns had a glass jaw. And Leonard had a suspect chin.
Hearns won this, but at least the best fought the best back then no fear of losing to anyone, hearns, hagler, Duran and Leonard, what a time for boxing
Marvellous Marvin v John Mugabe was another great fight back then but I'd imagine you know that already?✌️👊
The best fight the best now so what do you mean
Yes the best time for boxing 🥊👏👏👏👏👍

This is why there is an argument TH-cam should be made a utility for the public. This is history. On record for ever.

As an adult, I like Hearns and Duran more.

Absolutely my thoughts aswll
Lo que hizo y logró Duran es algo incomparable🇵🇦🥊
I liked all four equally, I have Leonard the best of the Four Kings but Duran the greatest p4p of the Four Kings
I watched this live and so many times since. IMO, Hearns should've won this fight in a split. I was watching with a bunch of older boxing men and I remember them all booing when Leonard was declared the winner. - Watching Hagler, Leonard and Hearns in the 80's was such a gift to watch. I was a teen and a little too young to really appreciate the kind of high-level boxing they were doing. Amazing.
I saw Leonard say years later that he believes Tommy won the fight and should've gotten the judge's decision. Classy move on his part. I have nothing but the utmost respect for both of these all-time greats!
That man was holding to damn much
Boxing at its best Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Barkley just an incredible time to watch these greats.
K.
e. que no
I totally agree with your opinion.
At the end of the fight they couldn't have been more sporting and magnanimous towards each other and that is what makes them champions well beyond the boxing ring.
Absolutely that is when we had true champions.much respect for them. Two great champions.
@@waynehogan5571 , You are Correct. Sugar Ray admitted that to Thomas Hearns.
Hearns has had a pretty really impressive career. Even after this fight, he won the WBA Light Heavyweight title so winning titles from Welter to Light Heavy. In almost every era besides his own, he'd probably be #1 pound for pound.
We cant tell who is the greatest p4p, there is also Roberto Duran that fight in multiple weight category and fought Sugar Ray Leonard Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns

At the end of the day this two legends gave the people what they wanted a hell boxing match
Tommy Hearns like Marvin Hagler says he needs to keep punching!! Ray Leonard was a good fighter great fighter but this fight he was the All-American boy from the Olympics gold medalist commercial flashy had the Speed pumped up the crowd manipulated the judges and this fight after they called it a draw the crowd was yelling b******* b*******!!
Just like the great Marvin Hagler metal way Ray Leonard had his Corner let him know the last 30 seconds so you come out flash seats is still around get the crowd pumped up punches weren't hurting Marvin Hagler this is flashing us mother manipulated the judges and he stole that one too I'm the great Marvin Hagler!!!
Clearly Tommy Hearns won this fight the problem is Sugar Ray's that Golden Boy smh
Hearns won this fight. Its only on the last round that leonard gave his best.

Find it funny that marvellous Marvin is low-key dissing Leonard all the way through the commentary of the fight lol .
Hearns was robbed. 'Twas an exciting fight. Wow. Two of the greatest. Golden era.

Amazing,!!
very inspiring and entertaining at the same time.
Absolute Warriors .
June 12, 1989...Would have been a draw if no knock downs, one of the best commentary teams of all time...Tommy won...
After scoring this one closely(which is what the judges are supposed to be doing, but keep in mind they aren't looking at monitors or hearing the commentary like we are), I originally had it 114-113 Hearns. I gave round 9 a 10/10 round which I hate doing, but I really thought that was a legit 10/10. I put * by round 1, 6 and 7 that I felt could go either way, but scored 1 for hearns because of his control with the jab, but Leonard landed the biggest and really only meaningful punch of the round, so that was very close. 6 and 7 I gave to Leonard, but again could have gone either way. At the end of it all, I think this being a draw wasn't the worst thing we've seen in boxing by far. We've seen way worse. It's also important to remember that Leonard was the golden boy of boxing even in 1989 and was coming off big wins vs. Hagler and then Lalonde, so the judges were always gonna favor him in close rounds. Not t mention, Leonard was the best at stealing rounds in the last 30 seconds to minute of a round because as a judge you're gonna remember the end of the round a lot better than the beginning, so its not like Ray was destroyed in this fight. Yes, he was dropped twice, but there were a few times in the fight where Hearns didn't go down, but looked a lot worse than Leonard did even though he stayed on his feet. But, that said, you have to appreciate the heart of Hearns knowing he couldn't go down. Did Hearns deserve a close win? Probably, but his conditioning towards the end of the fight gave Leonard too many chances to steal rounds and I believe Leonard definitely took 10 and 12. It was too close, everybody. We all hate draws, but this wasn't a terrible draw in my book. Again, we've seen much worse.
Solid analysis. Well done.
@@jlongobardy1612 thank you. It's nice to see somebody takes the time to read a post like that instead of just being a wise ass and just typing "TLDR".
Agree with you 100%
This fight was close as hell and a draw was not terrible
Both the AP and UPI scored it 113-112 Leonard, while the Boston Herald scored it 113-112 Hearns and the KO magazine scored it 115-112 Hearns
I scored it 114-112 Hearns
6-6, but the two knockdowns make it a two point win for Hearns
I gave hearns the first three rounds, 7, 8, and 11 and the rest for Leonard
Could be scored honestly either way, but wasn’t a robbery, just a debatable decision
Both landed some hard clean shots, I wonder how a third fight would’ve played out
@@victorianicolau9431 Hearns would win. Like he did the Second. Was also winning before the KO in the first.
These are two warriors going at it much respect for both of these guys both of these both of these men's are the best fighters I ever seen
Salute to the two great champions. They are all good fighters. This is boxing to its best. Its indeed a draw. Despite of two knockdown, Leonard finished the round valiantly. What a classic fight.
Yeah, the first knockdown wasn't much since Leonard was already badly off-balance from slipping. Also, Leonard really battered Hearns at certain points. At the end, I really couldn't tell who should win.
Amazing. Ali/Frazier 1, Joe gets the shit beat out of him. (Spent almost a month in Intensive Care after the fight) Has one solid knockdown, and that has been the excuse for him being given the decision for over 50 years.
Hearns/Leonard 2, Ray gets beat to hell and knocked down TWICE, regardless of how you justify one not being legit, but you see it as a draw? wow...
@@oldschoolruler joe gets the shit beat out of him? Did we saw the same fight? even without that knockdown he would be the winner, he was the best fighter that night
Leonard was never the same fighter after the retina tear. He was just a shadow of himself.
If you witnessed this era and watched these warriors fight then you are truly blessed

Im not from that era but still i can watch the fight thanks to youtube
I am!
I got to watch all of them
I watched Ali-Frazier on wide world of sports for free...and others
Tommy lost the first fight but he won this one.
If you knew anything about boxing you would know the 2 times in this fight that Hearns lost a point to the judges officially, they had no choice but to deduct, as a trained judge i know this but i won't bother pointing it out, people don't listen, maybe if you look closer you can work it out yourself??!!!
@@Rick356A you know nothing . just read all the comments .so your right and everyone else is wrong? lolol
@@Rick356A Ridiculous asinine stupid ignorant BS. No one saw the BS you saw.

Absolutely a classic. I'm a Ray fan but Tommy won this one fairly. Big respect. They shudda gave it to Tommy and let them have a three-peat.
Thing is... Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns are gladiators in a gladiator sport. They both gave the crowd what they wanted. Unlike the world of the past, neither of them two had to die to determine a winner. There's no doubt whether they both deserve respect or not, and there's DEFINITELY no one who would walk up to either of them on the street to challenge them in their skill of the "Sweet Science" of boxing. The fact that these two men fought their hearts out against each other, are friends in real life, and are glad the brutal bout fought for the spectators ended in them both walking out of the arena PAID and ALIVE, should be enough.
REST IN PEACE MARVELOUS MARVIN-GREAT FIGHT THREE WORLD CLASS CHAMPS $$$$$$$$

If it wasn’t for the knockdowns, Sugar Ray would have won this fight! These two are warriors!💪🏾
Eran y seguirán siendo los mejores ellos dos
ㅈㅡ🎉
A draw?!?!?!!!
Two knockdowns = a draw
TF?!
🇵🇷✊🏾
massive travesty ... another black day for boxing !
It happens in boxing. Pascal knocked Hopkins down twice and got a draw.
But even Leonard has admitted that Tommy won this fight.
I don't think the first one was a knock down but yeah I feel what you saying
@@sherrillraymond7595 He got hit with a punch, he went down. Wasn't like Tommy intentionally hit him in the back of the head.
@@schweitzer-man6227 Tommy pushed him look at the replay
two great athletes...I miss them. We will never have these warriors again...peace.
Que grande es el boxeo y vaya pelea de epoca grande por los dos!!
Peleooooon!!! Que pelea dos monstruos del box,dos salon de la fama!!!!
I loved watching Hearns
Hearns should have fought Hagler this way.
