Video was from an ESPN Deportes replay that had Spanish commentary. Removed the Spanish and replaced it with HBO's and remove the ESPN score ticker from the bottom and banners from the left and right side For reasons I certainly cannot agree with, much of the boxing media of the time felt the fight was boring. I wouldn't call it boring by any means. Barry Thompkins mentions in (I think it was) the HBO Legendary Nights episode for Hagler vs Leonard, that at the end of the fight, Duran walked up to the table where the HBO crew was calling the fight from, bent over the top rope to tell Ray Leonard the equivalent of "you can beat this guy." The more common belief is that it was Hagler's performance against John Mugabi that got Ray thinking about seriously coming back from his retirement, while Thompkins claims it was the post fight statement of Duran to Leonard that really got the ball rolling in Leonard's mind.

Quotes Hagler: "It seemed everybody was disappointed that I didn't knock him out. I felt that way myself. But he wasn't that vulnerable to a knockout. It was hard to hit him with a solid punch....You don't barrel in there on a guy like Roberto Duran. Why take unnecessary punishment unless you have to? I'd been effective and was winning the fight, so it isn't like I had to go in there and take the punishment to bomb him out." Duran: "He came to tear my head off, but when he saw that I could hit him hard, with strength, he got scared and became a coward. That's why he didn't take too many chances and mix it up with me. Everyone was saying he was a destroyer, but when he hit me, he didn't do anything to me. His punches absolutely did me no damage. He got scared every time he threw a jab because I could get my right in under it. That's why he held off so much."
