It's the greatest opening round in boxing history as Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas "Hitman" Hearns blasted each other on April 15th, 1985 in Las Vegas. And, our guys Dan Rafael and T.J. Rives are ready to remember it all with legendary, hall of fame broadcasters Al Bernstein and Barry Tompkins.
The future International Boxing Hall of Famer Bernstein was on the closed circuit/PPV call with also later legend, Al Michaels, that night. Meanwhile, fellow future hall of famer Tompkins was on the tape delayed call with Sugar Ray Leonard and Larry Merchant for HBO.
Both guys reminisce about the mayhem of that short fight, as Hagler and Hearns bombed away from the opening bell and eventually, Marvin kayoed Hearns in the third round for the signature moment of his career.
Hear their stories and memories, including some things that you likely didn't know about that night in the desert, etc.
It's all part of our "Big Fight Weekend Podcast" coverage for this special anniversary and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
