Ep 1759: Andy Lee Watches Hagler V Hearns, The Greatest 3 Minutes In Boxing History - 04/05/20

Today we go back 35 years to tell the story of arguably the greatest fight of all-time – Marvin Hagler v Thomas Hearns. We hear about bank robberies, dodgy entourages and watch back the greatest round of them all with the brilliant Andy Lee.It’s one of those glorious occasions when the hype beforehand ended up significantly *under-selling* the action once the bell went. Andy tells us why this loss hurt his and Hearns’ coach Emmanuel Steward more deeply than any other. He tells us about the man in the tuxedo who carried Hearns to his corner, and why Hearns hates that photo so much...about a character called Willie ‘Caveman’ Lee, and why 35 years on, it’s still hard to get people from the Kronk Gym to acknowledge the greatness of this one.Through the wonders of modern podcasting technology, you guys can watch the fight right along with us, just check twitter/insta for details. https://twitter.com/SecondCaptains/status/1257241405300379648?s=20And if you missed our brilliant show with Andy on his fight with Peter Quillin check it out here -https://www.secondcaptains.com/2020/04/07/episode-1740-andy-lee-watches-his-classic-2015-fight-against-peter-quillin-for-the-first-time-just-for-second-captains-world-service-members/
