Hagler takes measurements in the first round or two...then dismantles them piece by piece... Obelmejias is one tough dude..and extremely confident, but he had to know after the 4th round, he was in way over his head... he did way better than glass chin Hearns .. +
Exactly. Evidence look at the guys faces who went Rounds with him (Hamsho, Sibson, Minter, etc.. They were bloody messes. Or they couldn't stand (Hearns and Mugabi)
Marvin knew. He knew he'd got his man. His opponent had 28 KO's out of 40 fights and he obviously though another KO was on the cards.. Problem was? He'd never fought a fighter, a true champion like Marvin and he met 'reality'. Salute Marvelous Marvin Hagler. RIP my friend.
Obelmejias was a good fighter. Hagler was in his prime and just unstoppable. I don't think there was many fighters ever who could have beat this primed Hagler.
Corrado Junior- Ray Leonard worked out the only way to beat him was to hit and run. He impressed with rapid flurries of lots of punches, only some of which hit and then ducked quickly out, making Hagler miss just enough. However, none of Leonards punches realy hurt Marvin but Hagler landed plenty, many of which stunned Ray. I'm still not totally convinced that Ray Leonard won that, but it was one of those which could've gone either way.
@@kelvinfoote9897 Yeah....but was that Hag the same as this Hag? Nah..... handspeed was slightly slower against Leonard. Ray wouldnt have been able to keep this version off of him, I think. Ray's later career sure was odd!! Went on to fight Lalonde and Hearns again.... I think of all the good years Ray wasnt fighting and it makes me sad!! An earlier rematch with Hearns would have been awesome. I think he couldve had a huge fight with Curry at Jr. Middle b4 Donald got "Honeyghan-ed"
@@renzopeterson153 A 12 round fight between Hagler and Jones would be a close fight I think. 15 rounds Hagler beats Jones. McCallum gets beaten soundly by Hagler IMO. He doesn't have Jones quickness to escape the brutality of Hagler.
Buenos días,ahorita después de tanto tiempo,opino obermejias,confundió el combate,no tenía que fajarse con Marvin,teniente que buscar el combate afuera por sus alcance
El Cantante no se sabe El Himno Nacional De Venezuela, no dice "Y a este santo nombre templo" en verdad dice es: "A este santo nombre tembló de pavor" que vergüenza que vayan a cantar un himno en publico si no se saben la letra, no se porque cantan la primera estrofa si académicamente se canta la tercera estrofa si se va a cantar la versión corta era lo que se estipulaba incluso en los medios se trasmitía a veces la versión corta y era así la tercera estrofa...
I noticed the same thing. I am guessing whoever uploaded this was also listening to music elsewhere in their domain, and there was some electronic bleedover. It sounds like some sort of Latin pop music.
Haglers right hand was like a rocket and he was the master of disaster here and his hands shot out like gattelen guns great balance what a fighting machine and his chin was granite
I was at this fight.I remember it seemed like every round Marvin almost had him out but the dude just kept coming back.Marvin threw low blows but got away with it.Obel was a shrewd tough guy.in the end.Nice to see again,Marvin was the best.
Marvin Hagler is one of the toughest guys to figure out how to beat. Unless you can box and dance for 12 Rounds, he will walk through everything you can throw. He is an excellent technical boxer, slipping punches, etc... and he had SPECIAL stamina and recovery.
I am # 1 Marvin Bagley fan. I always followed his fights. Because I know a great fighter when I see one. And he would have beat every middleweight in every era in including Ray Robinson.
So many middleweights look impressive till you see Marvellous Marvin Hagler you see totally a different man in front of you. His board shoulders his massif chest his huge legs and thighs, a tank!!!!
A los detractores de Obelmedia quisiera verlos sobre de un rimg con semejante moustro boxictico para ver si le aguantan medio raun.obelmejia nunca reullo el combate el m8smo Hagler li felucito por si gallardia.
Los locutores se preguntan que cómo Obelmejias llegó a retador numero 1, no se que edad tienes pero te tengo la respuesta: Rafito Cedeño ponía a sus boxeadores a pelear con puro paquete y les inflaba el récord, así llegó este señor a pelear con Hagler, por supuesto a dar la cómica.
Marvin Hagler fué como un perro de caza, una vez que agarraba a su victima no la soltaba hasta vencerlo. En fin Marvin fué un magnifico boxeador, nunca lo nockearon, fué vencido una vez por decision por Sugar Ray Leonard, y creo que fué su unica derrota, murió en Italia, su esposa fué de ese pais y vivo sus últimos años en total tranquilidad, Paz a su Alma.
Antes de ser un gran campeon en sus inicios perdio dos peleas ... luego de que encontro su mejor nivel fue invencible hasta que perdio con leonard ... la de Leonard fue la tercera ..nunca fue Noqueado ni derribado ...
another over-hyped boxer from Venezuela who made a name for himself fighting ham-n-eggers in Venezuela an throughout the caribbean………..but when it came time to step up to the big leagues and take on a real fighter in the Marvelous one, boy was he exposed..
Obelmejias fue guapo, aguantó tremenda rumba de coñazos hasta el octavo, el tambien le dió duro al calvo pero que va, le tocó a OMG un Hagler que fue todo un campeón acabando con todos pq la que perdió con Leonard es discutible.
I loved to watch Hagler ;; he was such an intelligent fighter------could switch sides & hands at any time ; his jabs were ferocious & the man could take a hit ! Hearns hit him with all he had & Marvin Hagler was stunned, but never backed up. I loved the guy. RIP.------------------------MJL, 76 y/o
I was at this fight. My 82nd ABN DIV buddy Pepper Roach and I drove up from Bragg to Boston to see his brother Freddie fight also on the under-card of this Hagler fight. Awesome! This was Hagler's first middleweight title defense.
Pelio buenísimo y estaba peliando con unos de los mejores de aquella época, hizo tremenda pelea mejor que los norteamericanos rivales de este peso aguantó mucho raus
Great fight .Hagler was an all time great . we got lucky, back then .Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hearns and Duran .we hit the jack pot ! They don't make fighters like that anymore.
Hagler was a natural middleweight and fought as such. He did what he was good at. He wasn't really big enough to fight at higher weights. What is the point of of ballooning up the divisions, just waiting to fight a weak WBU/WBO/Ronald McDonald so-called champion and then ducking anyone who is a natural super middle/light heavyweight in case they get clobbered? Hagelr's main gripe was that all the money at the time was in the bloated heavyweight scene that was full of overpaid lard mountains.
So true that. If you're naturally suited to a division, why give that all up just to move up in weight. Every fighter is different. Some grow out of their divisions. Others don't. The ignorant haters knocking Hagler because he didn't move up are simply stupid.
@Swedish American Nah Michael Spinks was an ATG Light Heavy that Marvin Hagler wouldnt have had a chance against, thats why it wasnt a good idea to move up. Anways there wouldnt have been too much money between them, they werent marketed particularly well. All the $$$$ was with Ray Leonard and the heavyweights(which is why Spinks went up to cash in at heavy). An ATG lower weight fighter moving up to beat another ATG heavier fighter is a crazy thing to see
Viendo el combate comprobamos que fully obel debió usar más el jab y pelearle afuera. Se equivocó al pelearle a Hagler en la corta distancia. Ahí se convirtió en pan comido.
Jay Zachary your delusional, Leonard himself said the only reason he fought hagler was because he knows he wasn’t the same after the Mugabi fight, it took something out of him and he knew it was the right time, and even then, most experts gave the fight to Hagler
No excuses Hagler lost to a old rusty Sugar ray leonard who had 4 years off a bad eye and he was on cocaine !! Now who's delusional I'm speaking facts they fought and hagler lost. The same outcome if they were both younger an out boxed Marvin hagler .
Jay Zachary yeah yeah, now who’s making excuses, that same Leonard was training way before he asked for the Marvin fight, and after the fight went on to win and defend the light heavyweight titles, dude, watch the 4 kings documentary, he himself says he would not beat Hagler in the right circumstances, you hear it from the man himself LOL talk about fanboying, the dude even said he wanted to give up in the later rounds, don’t get me wrong, Leonard is a legend, but he never fought nobody in their prime
Jay Zachary he got beat by a Lightweight Duran, then since he knew he couldn’t beat him in the right circumstances he forced the governing body’s to make him defend his titles in a couple weeks while he was 200 pounds making him weak on fight day and never looked that bad again, beat Hearns when he was a kid and brought to the lions to early, then the Hagler fight where he manipulated the governing bodies again and Hagler too into making a fight while he already was thinking of retirement, only good win he has is a Prime Benitez who I give him all credit and respect for
F. Obelmejias: fue una promesa de nuestro boxeo venezolano. Con gran valentía y sacrificios, se atrevió enfrentar a ese extraordinario boxeador Marvin Hagler. Quedo el honor y un gran recuerdo de haber enfrentado a una leyenda del boxeo.
@@RobertoSánchez-m2i Obelmejias Despues subio a la division Crucero y fue campeon Mundial de la OMB ...de sus 3 derrotas 2 fueron ante esta leyenda del boxeo Marvin Hagler que estando en su prime solo perdio con otra gran leyenda como lo es Sugar Ray Leonard ...
La mejor pelea hecha por venezolano fulgencio no tiene comparacion fue un grande al enfrentar a marvin hagler orgullo nacional a este atleta en todos los tiempos ha que reconocerlo y enaltecerlo por la federacion del deporte nacional debe conocerlo la nueva generacion fue un grande de gallardía.
El Venezolano Fulgencio Obelmejias tenia una pegada muy poderosa, muy buen boxeador Tomhas Hearns tambien tenia una pegada descomunal y le pegaron unas buenas manos a Marvin Hagler pero este boxeador tenia la mandibula de piedra los noqueo a los dos maravilla era el mejor era una maquina de tirar golpes gane dinero en las apuestas el en ese peso era un extraterrestre ni que le pegaran con una mandarria lo tumbaban Hagler la pesadilla el mejor.
Este combate reivindica a Fulgencio Obelmejías. Creo que fue precipitada esa confrontación, sin embargo tremenda pelea realizó, entregándolo todo sobre el ring...
alro grande incontro, Hagler era il mio pugile preferito per la sua classe, la sua potenza. ricordo che nel mio piccolo paese era stata fatta una scommessa tra amici per divertirsi, io ero sicuro della vittoria di Hagler contro Obelmejias mentre molti dei miei amici nel piccolo bar del posto erano sicuri del contrario, io contro 15 amici la posta in palio era una cena di pesce. se vinceva Hagler io avevo 15 cene pagate, altrimenti io dovevo pagare 15 cene, avrei vinto a man basse senza sforzo
GGG might not have beaten Obel. Not that night Obel would give GGG a hard fight any day of the week. Hagler would give GGG a Tony Sibson style beating.
Hagler threw enough punches for three fights ! amazing obel took all that punishment. he can always tell his grandchildren that i was still standing while they stopped the fight
Obelmejias les ganaba a puros boxeadores mediocres a puros paquetes y se enfrentó a un gran boxeador como era hagler obelmejias peleaba con puros paquetes
CARAJO ; ESA FIÉ UNA PELEA.MONTADA PARA RELLENAR CUMPLIDOS , GANAR DINERO U ALLANTAR QUE EL CONTRARIO DE LA MARAVILLA ES UN " ANIMAL" . PERO , PERO , CON IN SOLO IZQUIERDAZO DE HAGLERR TEMBLÓ"*
ESE FULGENCIO OBELMEJIAS COMO NOS DEFRAUDO, TENIA UN RECORD IMPRESIONANTE, Y A LA HORA DE LA CHIQUITA, LE DIERON HASTA CON EL TOBO Y COLETO, SE HABIA ENFRENTADO A PURO PAQUETES
Hagler was VISCOUS ! Urrrr!!! He worked and worked on his challenger til they wilted! He fought a style that could leave a man permanently injured, but thought of it as WAR! He was bringing the WAR to the ring! RIP MARVELOUS ONE!
In order to be a tall 6’2” 157lbs one must have skinny legs. Which is great against lesser opponents, but a solidly built monster like Hagler made those skinny legs quickly weaken.
