Marvin Hagler vs. Vito Antuofermo II
Boston, MA
160 lbs
Davey Pearl
WBC/WBA Middleweight Championship
Middleweight Champion Marvin Hagler gets bloody revenge when defends his crown against former champion Vito Antuofermo, who defeated him by controversial draw two years prior. After a clash of heads in the opening seconds turns Antuofermo's face into a crimson mask, the challenger's trainers Freddie Brown and Panama Lewis stall for almost two ridiculous minutes between rounds, trying to get Referee Davey Pearl to rule the head butt intentional and disqualify Hagler. Antuofermo opts to continue without protest but gets dropped onto the seat of his pants by a straight left hand from Hagler in the third round. Although he beats the count, Antuofermo's corner finally stops what is becoming a massacre after the fourth round.
