I watched this on fight on ESPN Classics last night. For some reason I had forgotten what a great fight this was and just how great Marvin had been.

Mugabi brought everything he had and hit Hagler with really good shots throughout the fight. Hagler never backed up from a punch. Mugabi moved back a few times but always managed to answer the shots and the bell. In the 11th, when a Hagler flurry moved Mugabi back across the ring I think he went down from sheer exaustion as opposed to the direct effects of the punches.

They both threw lots of body shots and reports had each of them urinating blood for days afterwards.
