Marvin Hagler vs Tommy Hearns Round 1 GREATEST ROUND OF BOXING ON THIS DAY

Okay, I gave both fighters their instructions in the dressing room. I'm just cautioning you now. Obey my command at all times. Shake hands. Good luck to both of you. As Ray said, Tommy Hearns usually likes to establish dominance for himself up. The odds could really dictate how this fight will go. The first round's the key round. The pace is up-tempo. And the aggressiveness. Working that jab. He has a very quick jab. There's no denying it. So whip this corner chin. There's the short right. Now just uses defense. He's walking towards Hearns. He's doing the right thing now. Hearns is on his bicycle. Hagler now is working his body. Remember, Roldan caught Marvin Hagler early on also. Another good straight right hand by Hagler. Now Hearns is using his movements. He's trying to throw Hagler off balance. Hearns coming with a right-hand lead that time. Both fighters are really off balance. Has another right hand. Backs Hearns into the ropes. Watch for Hagler's hook. Now that was the right hand of Tommy Hearns. And it did catch Hagler, but he didn't take a backward step there. Good right hand by Hearns. Now trying to slow him down. These guys are doing a great deal of energy, Baron. Tremendous pace in the first round. Blood coming from the face of Marvin Hagler. Can't tell yet where it's coming from. We'll see. Both guys will definitely be winded in the next round. It is over the right eye, I believe, of Marvin Hagler. We'll wait till we get him. And there's a lot of blood early on here. Hagler, it is at a place where it could do serious damage. Oh, between rounds. When we get into the corner, Hag, punishing Hearns now. But this is still the first round. The second round, these guys will definitely pace themselves. There has been no boxing at all, just fighting here. Just slugging blood on the face of Marvin Hagler. Again, we can't quite tell where it's coming from while Hagler continues to dish out punishment. Bounces right back. This may be the most brutal even round you've ever seen in boxing.
