El mundo del boxeo reacciona a la muerte de Marvin Hagler

Marvin Hagler falleció este sábado a la edad de 66 años. La leyenda del box es uno de los mejores peleadores de peso mediano en la historia del deporte.

Hagler se convirtió en el campeón indiscutible de peso mediano en 1980 y defendió la corona 12 veces hasta su derrota ante “Sugar” Ray Leonard en 1987. Esa fue la última pelea profesional de Hagler, terminando su carrera con un récord de 62-3-2 y 52 KOs. En 1993, Hagler fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Boxeo Internacional.

Boxeadores, promotores y otras personalidades relacionadas al mundo del boxeo y el deporte acudieron a las redes sociales para rendir homenaje a “Marvelous”.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler was among the greatest athletes that Top Rank ever promoted. He was a man of honor and a man of his word, and he performed in the ring with unparalleled determination.

I shed more than a few tears in 1987 when my favorite boxer of all time lost his middleweight title to the great Sugar Ray Leonard.

I shed a few more today. 🙏🏼👑😢

Rest easy Champ!
