No one in the history of humanity has ever faced a middleweight so well prepared, so polished, so strong, so unbeatable and so ready to enter the Olympus of the history of boxing and sport like Minter that night. Called Marvelous for a reason

When the ref stopped the fight the English fans became so angry that they began throwing glass bottles into the ring. Hagler's cornermen formed a protective shield around their fighter as the bottles flew. If you are interested you can see this on other youtube videos of the fight.

@@peterbalac1915 Yes, he was gutsy and tough too, judging by the fact he was still on his feet after getting thumped heavily multiple times in that 3rd round. A bad decision to fight like that though, his defence wasn't great and his accuracy wasn't quite good enough, at least not when he was already slightly dazed by the good shots he'd taken which is also when he was most fired up and trying to go toe to toe. I've heard of Minter but he was a bit before my time, this and another fight I just watched are the first I've seen of him, but I notice he was a bit taller than average and perhaps that allowed him to adopt a rather open defence early in his career; his hands are too low and while against lesser fighters he was probably able to do fine like that, because they were kept at range more often than not, better opposition can get through. Perhaps also he was used to his toughness and strength doing the job, but Hagler was very tough and often evaded his shots in this fight.

Some of the most successful & popular British fighters of all time are black. Nigel Benn, Eubank, Bruno, to name a few. Boxing in England is exciting, dynamic and highly diverse! Only recently a black fighter named Anthony Dirrell got destroyed by a white fighter called Caleb Plant in the US and before the fight Dirrell said he won't let no "white boy" beat him! My point is that racism is a generic term and it's prevalent everywhere between all kinds of races. We don't live in a perfect world. So stop believing that racism is only committed by whites against blacks because it's nonsense.

Aren't they chanting the n-word twice throughout the first round or are they chanting "Minter" , which I don't believe they are? Disgusting from England. Much of the crowd was made up of a well-known racist group. That's why the riots happened. Minter said he'd never lose to a black man. That's why they were there. It's also why we should condemn current black boxers who say they'll never lose to white guys. Because it encourages racial divide. We're here for the boxing. No one elects boxers to government.

The fight between those two in 1985 was the closest thing I've seen to war in the ring. Hagler won in the third, but what a fight. RIP Marvin Hagler, one of history's best boxers.

Being from Boston, we followed Marvin’s entire fighting career. He was robbed of the championship when he fought Antuifermo. Judges ruled it a draw. Then Minter won the championship and Marvin had to go to London for his shot. He easily destroyed Minter but the English crowd were so pissed off they threw beer bottles and cans into the ring injuring a few people. Marvin never was able to stand there and get the belt and be crowned “Champion”. This bothered him and he used that snub as a chip on his shoulder. It motivated him to work hard against every opponent. He was a great champion. May he rest in peace.

I'll never forget my High School homie Mike Fowler at Saugus telling me how much of a badass fighter Hagler was and that he was his all-time favorite back in 1980. I knew of Leonard, Duran, Benitez, and Hearns, but not Hagler at that time. This was a great fight against Alan Minter! Hagler looked like a future Hall of Fame fighter. Awesome athletic ability and boxing skills. Minter was a solid fighter as well, but he was outclassed! This fight made big news in the boxing world and community because of how violently the British fans reacted to this stoppage.

Hagler was absolutely lethal on this night. He ripped the title from Minter. And once he got it, no one was taking it off him.

Marvin Hagler is one of my favourite boxers. He had it all really.

I don't know if this is one of those false memories you get but I seem to remember watching this when I was 10 years old through a tv and electrical shop window in my local town while I waited for my 2 brothers who were in the snooker and arcade hall.🤔🤷‍♂️

Myself and a friend bumped into Minter some time in the mid 80s. I actually recognised his face, my friend doubted it but then clocked the scar tissue as we got closer. Hagler left his mark permanently for all to see, but Minter still didn't want to quit. Some fighters have to be stopped for their own good.

My uncle Paul fought on this bill against Winston Spencer , I remember watching it on tv at the time. My dad and grandad were ringside near to where Henry Cooper was sitting and had to get under the ring when all the bottles and chairs were being thrown.

The editors cut out the biggest shock of this match: the bottle bombardment from the crowd. It was the worst behavior from a boxing crowd in the history of the sport. Hagler and his team were lucky to get out alive.

Minter did well to go toe to toe with him. Nobody else apart from Sibson Duran and Hearns did that great fights though

I suppose that all British boxers (e.g. Bruno, Lewis, Minter, etc.) have the same trainer: "Talk tough and hold on tight."

This is the fight that makes Marvin stand above nowadays boxers . He fought outside his own country and did not leave the decision to judges . ( plus , he did not get a title shot on his 15 th pro fight )

@mattkent2651 5 ай бұрын

Minter, faced... simply the greatest 'Fighter' of all time. It is extraordinary, how his years of schooling in Philadelphia, fighting 'bums' (yeah right), equipped him to destroy all the so-called other 'top' fighters. He is the Greatest middleweight ever, and probably only second to Ali in 'greatness' because of how he got there. He did not have Ali's political prowess and that is what made his greatness 'pure'. It was pure boxing ability. The Greatest 'Fighter' of All Time in my humble opinion.

I watched this live on TV. Nice video but you should not have omitted the neat ending when Minters Brit fans threw a lot of beer bottles into the ring. The bottles were spinning with beer coming out while the fans were unhappily jeering. The police surrounded Hagler and escorted him to safety. "Marvelous Marvin", one of my favorites.

@carlh429 5 ай бұрын

Can still remember seeing this in shock firstly at Alan Minter getting his face cut to ribbons then the sight of bottles and cans flying into the ring at the end.
