When Marvelous Marvin Hagler Tamed The Beast | MARCH 10, 1986 

Best pound for pound fighter ever any time any where that was hagler met him at Doncaster racecourse a few years ago a true gentleman so sad that he has passed RIP marvelous

I remember this AMAZING fight so well. Marvin is my favorite boxer/fighter of all time.

Saw this fight on Closed Circuit in the Boston Garden when it was held. One of the greatest fights ever! Two really tough fighters!

Marvin was the beast inside the ring but a gentleman outside the ring RIP Champ❤

Middleweight GOAT 🐐🥊 R.I.P Marvelous Marvin Hagler 🥊🙏

Thats when boxing was great.Hats off to the fighters of that ERA

Mugabi was a beast! But Marvelous was a machine and he just kept coming relentlessly.

When boxing was pure!!! No social media!

The Prime of Boxing

What a brawl! Mugabi was tough but no one was tougher than MMH !!

The great hagler a great warrior so sad that you are gone but i still like the person that you was rest and peace brother i know that you are in heaven you was a such a good person in Life god bless you Marvin

Marvin hagler was a unstoppable beast in the ring 👏🏼💯

And still my favourite boxer of all time. Marvelous marvin hagler.

Marvellous Marvin, the best boxer fighter, to ever lace up a pair of gloves,God bless you, ❤

RIP the great Marvin Hagler.

What a fight!

I wish all world title challengers put forth the effort that The Beast did on this day. The Beast walked away from this fight knowing he did his best.

GRUELLING FIGHT FOR BOTH CONGRATS M.M. THE MAN

The Beast was defeated the Marvelous one. Hagler took everything Mugabi threw at him and walked through it. Monster of a middleweight.

Always loved this fight from Hagler. Bad man right there. Mugabi was supposed to take the throne, but Hagler didn’t get the memo 😂

no fighter in any division today could fight with both of these guys. no one.

What a beaty was Marvin to watch. The 6th round fabulous!

Imagine having never been to the 11th round until you had to go there with Marvin Hagler.

Not even Hearns showed any real want to fight Mugabi at that time. He was as dangerous as boxing ever had. Mugabi threw the kitchen sink at Marvin and Marvin seemed to enjoy it. Hagler proved himself to the Man of Steel and fighter of multiple styles to handle all situations. Neither fighter was the same after that night. Great fights come at a cost. And only Legends understand what their moment in time secures for the Legacy they created from all that sweat, work, and discipline. Both fighters great in my book. May never see another like it in my lifetime. So be it !

Hagler, the last great long reigning undisputed MW champ. Hagler systematically wore Mugabi down then finished him. Great performance by both guys, Hagler just had too much. RIP Marvellous

*LEGENDARY SCRAP HERE!!!* RIP THE MARVELOUS ONE, and ref-judge (🤣😂) Mills Lane

Hands down one of the best middleweight fights of all time. What a fight!

Legend! Long Live, MH.

I remember watching this live on TV . I always like him.

One of the great fights of all time!

Hagler ruined Mugabi. He was never the same after this.

That round 6 was so brutal indeed.......Mugabi being able to absorb that punishment and keep coming back, wow just wow

Marvin a great legend from my era for sure saw him 1 night coming out of a package store in Lakeville Massachusetts with a few beautiful ladies. Brockton Massachusetts legend

I always wondered why more fighters didn’t adopt Marvin’s style. Dominant side forward fighter with a decent rear cross, switch stances when the opponent is in trouble to finish him.

Wow what a fight! This fight was very consistent in it's cadence and tactics of each fighter but yet still very impressive and even exciting at times. Hagler was wearing down Mugabi round by round with a 2:1 ratio of good shots by my estimation (just a gut impression) but there was still that threat that Mugabi could land a knockout shot to save himself. But the last few rounds, Hagler was just too strong and made it almost impossible for Mugabi to even survive and finished him. Both fighters were incredibly brave but Hagler is the Champion who truly boxed himself to undeniable victory. It's hard to put my finger on how or why but fights rarely seem this genuinely good these days. Hagler wanted to win and definitely showed why he's definitely one of the all time greatest fighters.

Hagler was my all-time favorite fighter then and still today. I went to his first middleweight title defense in the Boston Garden in 81 with my two buddies Freddie and Pepper Roach. Freddie fought on the under-card of that fight. I remember watching this fight on Armed Forces Network (AFN) in my barracks room when I was a soldier stationed in South Korea. John "The Best Mugabi" was a middleweight George Foreman at the time just destroying everyone they put in the ring with him........until this fight. Marvelous Marvin Hagler truly tamed the beast in this fight. It was a good fight by both fighters but Hagler was King of the Middleweights, one of the best divisions in boxing during this time, along with Lightweight and Welterweight!

Crawford reminds me so much of Hagler back in the day. Always had to get it the hard way!

In the post fight interview Mugabi said he felt he was getting hit with a blackjack.

Hagler 62-2 after this fight. Seems he doesn't get enough recognition on the all-time p4p list. Has to be top 20 I think.

It would be impossible to bring those type of boxers and fights back to now a days ,

I watched every fight Hagler fought.. This guy was absolutely fantastic,,, a true boxer..⁉️‼️🇺🇸

both were never the same after

HE HIT HAGLER WITH EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK -- SO MARVIN USED IT -- BRUTAL FIGHT

One of the greatest middleweight fights of all time, and to think the 32yo Hagler wanted this fight. Against a prime 26yo with 27fights & 27 K.Os. Hagler was the Beast here but Mugabi gave Hagler a great fight. Can you imagine these in the middleweight era today, they be done for muder.

Nobody wanted to fight Mugabi during this time except Haglar,and the punches he hit Haglar with would have ko'd anybody else.This was a brutal fight and Mugabi was never the same afterwards.

In one of the greatest pre-fight interviews of all time, Mugabi answered every single question with "I'm going to knock him out." It was like: "How was your flight over?" "I'm going to knock him out." "Were able to train hard for the fight?" "I'm going to knock him out." It was priceless. And we saw what happened.

Far too much is made of Hearns bout, this is a ‘war’

Watched this fight 100’s of times as a kid, in awe of how good a technician Marvin was, along with being as tough as nails and in the most amazing physical condition. Only later in life and after seeing his earlier fights did I realise he was even better when he was younger!!! A true legend of the ring 😇 💪. Any 1 who got to watch him, it was a privilege 💪💪💪💪

I remember this fight! It was one of Hagler's most difficult wins. He had STAMINA over Mugabi. Close call.

I love Marvin Marvelous Hagler Best Middleweight ever who fought with Heart and pride such a Great person Rest Well Champ your Best fan ever 🙏

Marvin hagler was a problem one of my favorite boxer 💯

Beast never the same after this. When you pound on someone with everything you have and nothing happens your psyche gets destroyed. Mugabi v hamsho would've been great or mugabi v Duran!

Marvin was the man!

11:27 center just outside the ring. Burt Reynolds aaand 35:55 Tom Seleck

Round 6🔥🔥🔥🔥

I sure miss the days watching Hagler fight.

It's noteworthy that the last three fights of Marvelous Marvin Hagler were pure masterpieces, by comparison, Carlos Monzon achieved lacklustre fights.

How was mugabi an inch shorter? He was way taller when receiving the instructions

I remember this fight. I was always a Hagler fan but when this fight was announced I thought oh boy! The Beast was just that a tough guy. And no guarantees even for Marvin. What a great fight. For me this was definitely a great fight. I know he was angry and when he retired moved to Italy. Glad he came back home before passing away. I also believe he won the first Sugar Ray Lenard fight. Just my opinion! Mugabi was also a champion. Thanks to both of them for entertaining all of us. May they RIP.

📌 Hagler started well on his toes .. stepping in with the jab .. going to the body on the inside .. stepping outside of the lead foot of the orthodox fighter .. mixing it up in the exchanges .. coming forward with pressure like Aaron Pryor even after getting caught in an exchange .. props to Mugabi for being game and going until he ran out of gas .. Hagler's conditioning and swift jab were definitely underrated as well as his innate ability to switch southpaw to orthodox instinctively to touch up his opponent with his closest hand regardless of where his opponent stepped

This was an extremely tough fight for the aging Hagler - he was approaching his mid 30s and had been in a lot of wars at this stage - Mugabi was young and upcoming with a powerful punch - Marvin eventually wore him down and stopped him but in the ring afterwards he actually hinted at retirement

Round 6 was one for the ages!

I've never seen anyone punch with such pin point accuracy as Marvin Hagler.

I loved Tim and Gil. A very underrated commentary team. This fight finished Mugabi and slowed Marvin. Devastating!

Simply marvelous

Mugabi was never the same after this fight. Hagler took the beast inside Mugabi and destroyed him.

I love these old fights .marvin the greatest

Hagler was a great fighter However Mugabi never learned how to box all of his punches were bombs you have to give Marvin credit That one uppercut Mugabi hit him with knocked out or knocked down every other middle weight to that point Hagler was one tough SOB RIP Marvelous one

Who else remembers the punky brewster episode featuring Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Incredible fight,this is what boxing is all about,not the circus that it's become these days,and truth be told,I was a little worried before this fight,because Mugabi is extremely dangerous.

That was a very tough fight

Why does the other guy look taller than hagler but the height said hagler was taller 😅

Hey top rank can you post the first Duran Leonard fight in this quality lol

That uppercut at the end of round 4 would have dropped any fighter today, it took everything from Hagler to soak it up. A defining moment from a true boxing legend. Such a shame that his legacy almost over looks what tremendous fight this was, a ferocious slug fest from 2 incredible athletes.

Marvelous, Marvin Hagler is a great fighter. This is a real boxing match

RIP Marvelous one! ☝️ the champ!!

P marvelous Marvin hagler the greatest pure boxer in history without a doubt my favorite fighter of all times

Il più grande peso medio della storia della boxe mondiale.❤😂

The fact that Hagler came out orthodox was quite smart against an explosive power puncher who was dangerous early on in fights. Hagler wanted to take Mugabi's gameplan away from the start, because Mugabi was most likely expecting Hagler to come out southpaw

The key was Marvin switching to right handed on the inside. He did major damage with the right hook from that stance. Beast carried his southpaw right hand low on inside. Marvin consistently made him pay with that.

One of the greates midle weigt all time. R.i.p.champ.

One of my fav all time fighters fought every one clean his division like a true champ , mugabi was unbeaten and on his prime , no blemish 😮and gave hangler a very tough fight , after this lose to hangler mugabi was never the same fighter , but hangler fought him when he was most dangerous 😮😮when a true champ does what a true champ does 😮

What a war! Non-stop action. God bless Marvin; they don't make them like that anymore.

Any other fighter would not have survived Mugabi. Hagler was a truly elite fighter.

Why does top rank re upload videos ?

Hagler raises arms...."Are you not entertained"

Amazing to think that after that Mugabi became the president of Zimbabwe

Even though Hagler looks slow he was one tough fighter.

Hagler was the best of the best a real beast This is boxing today's boxers don't compare to this

Marvin was never the same after this fight. Neither Mugabi.

Hagler was the only middleweight who could take the punishment Mugabi dished out and eventually stop him/ Marvin should have never had his title taken by Leonard in what at most was a draw !!!###

RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler

Now that was a fight and not just dancing and holding 🎉

Utter exhaustion. First time since Ray Robinson (who was winning every round) failed to answer the bell due to complete exhaustion.

John “The Beast” Mugabi!

Mugabi was the real deal....nobody but Hagler could have taken them heavy hands...two great warriors....this pair would of marched on with today's middleweights...

I dnt think hes just Tired he just got his head banged left en right lol

Dopo quel match Mugabi chiuse prematuramente la sua luminosa carriera , avrebbe dovuto attendere ancora un paio di anni e di sicuro avrebbe conquistato il titolo mondiale.

Magabi had left the country and came back to fight Hagler this shows how powerful the beast was but Hagler was the king .
