This is getting weirder than joe exotic having 2 straight husbands. So hagler pulls out of a “fight” for ??? He has covid-19?; or like the rest of us, to take his mind off Covid-19, he’s watching Tiger king instead.
Hagler pulled out?
Is this a boxing tournament, or an acid trip?
With Leonard getting knocked out by Winky, it is clearly an acid trip.
This is beyond weird now this “tournament” is turning into a soap opera with silly drama. I’m rolling my eyes here. Please discontinue this nonsense already I don’t even care to see who the “winner” is lol
Seems a little tough on old Jake. Poor guy had to fight Carlos Monzon and Sugar Ray Robinson on back to back days. wtf!
Hagler out. Nonsense
Just stupid
How the heck did Sugar Ray Robinson KNOCK OUT Jake Lamotta in a mere seven rounds when he couldn’t do it in 6 tries in real life? Was Hagler kidnapped by a character from another video game like Grand Theft Auto? How does a fictional character on a game pull out of a tournament? Then again, when you have Winky Wright knocking out Sugar Ray Leonard nothing else should come as a surprise.
How? It’s Politically Correct hat’s how! Political Correctness now far supersedes reality.
When this so-called tournament started, it seemed absurd and likely to have absurd results. That premonition turned out to be more than valid. How does someone pull out of a match in a computer game? By the way, no middleweight ever born was going to knock out Jake Lamotta in 7 rounds.
Yes an explanation for this dumb game would be interesting.
The only explanation I could have for the pull out of Mavin Hagler, is that the real Marvin Hagler perhaps has himself copy righted, and he was going to sue. I don’t know how it turned out many years ago, but after the so called computer win by Marciano over Ali, there was some other kind of tournament, without action, but maybe some kind of radio thing where Jim Jeffires knocked out Ali. Ali I believe did sue. He did not sue beach of his loss to Marciano at the time, actually in Europe I think he won. He was grateful to Marciano for going along with this as he was in desperate need of money, as his license was still suspended.
