In 1985, Hagler vs. Hearns GOING TO WAR. By their very nature, professional prizefights are exhibitions of controlled ferocity. What happened between “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler and Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns in their middleweight title bout, however, was as pure an expression of rage and brutal intent as boxing has ever known. At the opening bell both men rushed to the center of the ring. Ten seconds in, Hearns staggered Hagler with a right. From then on the action stopped only when referee Richard Steele intervened. For the last minute of the round, the two men stood in a corner trading lethal punches nonstop. Like a violent storm, it was over quickly. In the third round, Hagler, his head bleeding profusely, put Hearns down with three lunging punches. An overhead camera captured the funereal finality as Hearns, battered and spent, was carried to his corner.
