Marvin Hagler vs Loucif Hamani, February 16, 1980, Portland, Maine.
It only goes two rounds. It’s a fight that solidified Hagler as the top ranked Middleweight, and later in that same year on September 27, he would go on to win the World Middleweight Championship vs Alan Minter. The rest is boxing history, as Hagler would go on to retain the title for the next seven years, making 12 successful defenses, before losing in 12 rounds by a split decision to Sugar Ray Leonard in 1987.
