Like I said on the other thread I’m still embarrassed what a British crowd did to him after the Minter fight But as you say many over here also loved marvellous Marvin but from afar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photograph: Rex/Monty Fresco/Associated Ne it wasn't supposed to end like this for either Alan Minter or Marvin Hagler on the night of 27 September 1980. Minter had just seen his all too brief grip on the WBA/WBC world middleweight titles end in seven minutes and 45 seconds of punishment, his face a mess, blood streaming from gashes inflicted by the superb Hagler. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/that-1980s-sports-blog/2013/oct/03/alan-miller-marvin-hagler-1980-boxing-low-point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Yeah, that's a shame @FollyfootBoxing is very tribal and people like to see themselves personified in the ring. I was in a jam packed bar to watch the MacGregor-Merriweather fight and all the white people were cheering for the white guy and all the black people were cheering for the black guy. Nothing necessarily wrong with that guess, but it can easily be taken too far and get ugly, obviously. Edited March 14, 2021 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
