Marvin Hagler.

If you want to see some incredible boxing, watch the 'Three Rounds Of Madness' between 'Marvellous' Marvin Hagler and Tommy 'The Hitman' Hearns.

You didn’t just do the Murray Mint joke did you?

There is actually a connection between Murray Walker and sweets 

He also worked as an advertising executive and came up with the classic "made to make your mouth water" slogan

So Hagler died from side effects of his Covd jab, thought the jab was supposed to be safe?

Just more anti-vax nonsense peddled by the usual suspects

Unless we are taking an Instagram post from Dr Tommy Hearns, IBO WBA WBO WBC as gospel?

My old man used to let me stay up for any boxing when I was a nipper.

Hagler was a hero, a complete warrior.

One of the first times I was enraged over a sporting contest was when Sugar Ray Leonard pitty-patted his way to 'victory' over Marvelous (no quotation marks needed, that was his first name - changed legally) - in primary school the next day me and my best mate, him blinded by Leonard's razzamattaz, had a heated argument about it, we almost came to blows ourselves and probably didn't speak 'til last playtime that day at least.

A true one-off.

Like someone else wrote, those exchanges between Hagler and Hearns will live forever.

R.I.P.

Just watched that again for the first time in ages.  Amazing.  Haglers durability in that first round must have mentally broken Hearns. He's landing bombs and Hagler is still coming forwards.  Theres more punches thrown in those 3 rounds than you see in most 10/12 rounders.

Legend has it Hearns broke his right hand with the first major shot he landed on Hagler and vertually fought the rest of the fight one handed.

Jesus, that's a shocker. Cracking lady with a great character.

Only woman to win the Nurburgring 24, and she did it twice in an M3 (obviously a lady of style and grace 😁

Very sad.

As a van driver, I have the ultimate respect for her performance in one round that track.

Astonishing; I reckon I'd roll mine well before I got anywhere near her speeds.
