Marvin Hagler vs Roberto Duran (Highlights)

Hagler: “It seemed everybody was disappointed that I didn’t knock him out. I felt that way myself. But he wasn’t that vulnerable to a knockout. It was hard to hit him with a solid don’t barrel in there on a guy like Roberto Duran. Why take unnecessary punishment unless you have to? I’d been effective and was winning the fight, so it isn’t like I had to go in there and take the punishment to bomb him out.“ Duran: “He came to tear my head off, but when he saw that I could hit him hard, with strength, he got scared and became a coward. That’s why he didn’t take too many chances and mix it up with me. Everyone was saying he was a destroyer, but when he hit me, he didn’t do anything to me. His punches absolutely did me no damage. He got scared every time he threw a jab because I could get my right in under it. That’s why he held off so much.“ Hagler was a 4 to 1 favorite. Hagler was guaranteed $5 million, and Duran was guarantee
