- A short interview with Marvin Hagler and Tony Sibson regarding the signing of their fight. The great Reg Gutteridge is the man in between the two..rather him than me.

Call me an old dude at 51 but I like this type of pre fight as opposed to the loudmouth bluster and BS that we see today... This was classy all the way.
doclew28 I couldn't agree more....They didn't need that crap to sell tickets or PPV back then..the quality of fights did that.
@@TBWSport exactly!!! Thanks for posting this... Marvelous was my favorite of all time!!!
@@doclew28 More than Welcome...Hagler was the best Middleweight of all time.
I'm older and feel exactly the same! Great fighters that let their fighting do the talking... No silly social media presence.
@@TBWSportI absolutely agree. Plus Tony Sibson was a very tough, strong fighter with a ferocious left hook. Rip to Marvelous Marvin and my sympathies to his family.
Reg Gutteridge a man that landed in Normandy on D-Day. Great guy
When Sibson said “we’re in business”, and “I want to know where I’m going in life”, you could see him earn Hagler’s respect.
Bro when he saw that i felt some type of way, truly a honest humble
Class acts all three of them ! Marvin Hagler is my favourite middleweight of all time . Rest easy Marvin ......
Sibbo was a decent fighter but not in Marc’s league.
Marvin Hagler is my favorite fighter of ALL TIME
@@potentially__9445 Yeah mine too. Perfect in every way. Sibbo did his best and I was proud of him but I'm afraid he was outclassed in the end.
Two fantastic men.
I was a fan of Sibbo and Marvin has always been my favourite boxer of all time.
😂😂Same here🥊🤙
3 don’t forget the great reg gutterage the best boxing commentator ever for me and a war hero to boot
@@user-fq4qk9wz5k Read his auto-biography a few years back 👍
@@Bazooka183 wow didn’t know one had been written I’ll have to search that out for myself I bet he had some tales to tell
Even post fight, sibson was all class
2 fighters that totally respect each other no trash talk just MEN
@alexfelton7870 A different breed of class :-)
Absolute class by both men
Both respectful warriors who earned it the hard way 🥊
Sibbo was unlucky to face Hagler at the very peak of his powers. Was an absolute clinic from the Marvellous One.
This brings a tear to my eye, the greats Marvin Hagler and Reg Gutteridge, two legends no longer with us. Also the mutual respect and courtesy between the two boxers. This is how things should be before fights. All that fake bluster and aggression we see today in front of the cameras is an absolute joke. It makes me cringe.
I still can`t quite believe Marvin`s gone.
it was the safe and effective Tommy told the world
@@scottthefunkabsolutely spot on mate ,,just hope the liars get their just desserts one day
Two class acts, no shouting and swearing or mind games, just two guys making a good deal. The way it should be done.
Great post. They’re men. Not clowns.
Classy. And the two of them remained friends long after the fight 👍
Respect between two boxers one legend and other excellent fighter, on day of Marvin 60' birthday Tony was present!
Rip marv. What a legend.
After the fight,Hagler said to the Announcer he beat a hell of a fighter in Tony Sibson and neither one of them are given credit for being who they are.
Sibson was an honest fighter. He fell short of Hagler's ability but then again, who didn't. Sibson took his loss with pure class, Saying he was in the best shape of his life and trained like an animal for Hagler but still was given a lesson..that was Sibson's own words. Quality stuff.
Compared to the cheap insults that get showen nowadays in interviews i much prefer this when it was honourable and men were men and had respect for each other 💪
Hagler,the fighter all other wished they were,and how cool,a frightening and brilliant man
Tony being respectful and understanding. Genuine guy with a good attitude. Marvin was a great champion too.
Reg Gutteridge a class act too.
He sure was!
If you ever listen to American commentators, you realise just how classy ours are.
Massive admiration for both these boxers… 😊👍
Two GREAT sportsmen! THIS is what sport is about- mutual respect between opponents- no trash talk, just straight honest talk. I don't blame Marvin for his reservations about returning to the UK to box. He was treated appallingly by a small number of thugs in the audience. Marvin beat Minter fair and square, deserved the win, and some people abused him. I was nine years old when I watched Marvin destroy Minter. I watched the fight with my father, he was appalled by the antics and abuse that occurred that night. It was most unbecoming and not reflective of British sporting values- the best man won fair and square, and Marvin was denied his moment of victory.
still shocking to watch today
@@scottb32a The only champ never to get the belt in the ring
I'm still embarrassed about it.
I was talking to tony last week bc he lives near me and goes down to my local pub
I'd love that opportunity. Being a boxing nut. That's quality.
That's great. I hope he knows how loved he is by the fans.
@@ChrisJB yeah😊
Dressed like a black James Bond COOL af
Marvin Hagler my second favourite fighter after Muhammad Ali. A real class act and Tony Sibbo Sibson my fellow Midlander 🥊
Mr Hagler was the best, inside and outside the ring. R.I.P.
Hear hear!
Great interview total respect for each other none of the bullshit which is commonplace now
2 real champs respectful no bs
Yes, I agree, there was no trash talking then, these guys handled themselves out of the ring, as well as inside. Much better boxers then, none of these gaudy trunks down past their knees, no stupid build up music, just boxing, and good boxing and boxers! Tony Sibson a good fighter, Marvin Hagler, he was something else!
2 gentlemen. No trash talk. The way it should be.
If ever two fighters went into and left a ring like men it was these two. There seemed to be a natural empathy between them and I believe they remained friends until Marvin's passing.
Lovely men. A credit to their families and their sport. Sibson's post fight comments after losing were wonderful too.
The way Marvin was treated after he beat Minter was, and remains, the biggest disgrace in British boxing history.
It was and is, I agree. Minter "fans" believed Hagler caused the cuts mainly through use of the head.. What nonsense.. Hagler destroyed Minter with the accuracy he would later show against Sibson. For me Hagler was the greatest Middleweight in History including Monzon. I am a big fan of Leonard too but with all of the concessions Hagler had to give him and the 20 second burst at the end of each round Leonard pick-pocketed that victory.. Just my opinion of course. RIP MMH
@@TBWSport Hi, thank you very much for the reply. I agree of course about Minter, the film clearly shows doesn't it that it was Marvin's punching that did the damage.
As for the Leonard fight, the only reservation I've got is that I read recently that Ray actually landed more punches, which amazed me! Of course it's not just a punch-count, the bursts you mention were, at their level, just pats, but nevertheless they did hit their targets. Of course Marvin's punches were much harder, but so many missed. I watched the whole fight again very recently, and after decades of believing Marvin won, I now think a draw would have been fair, enabling, of course, Marvin to retain his title. To give a win to Leonard was so wrong. Marvin said, in the ring immediately after the verdict, 'I told you about Vegas'. (And of course Marvin would almost certainly have won if it had been 15 rounds, or with a smaller ring.)
@@ysgol3 I think a draw would have been fair. I think Marvin wanted to show Leonard that he could take whatever he had.. He started slowly almost in contempt of Leonard. I don't think Hagler was ready for just how slippery Leonard could be.. He must have thought he would catch up to Leonard sooner or later.. That never happened. Technically Sugar Ray may have landed more punches but most were flurries with not much behind them, hence my pick pocket claim.. but Yes Technically that would make him the winner.. I am not sure I agree with the land light and get away tactic and certainly not to dethrone a great champion. Nevertheless Hagler has gone down in History as one of the greats regardless of the result.
@@TBWSport He certainly is. I still can't believe he's gone, and so suddenly. RIP.
Most definitely, it was a racially charged night nothing to do with cuts or how Hagler fought. Hagler destroyed Minter, I’ve read that by the time Minter got to the dressing room, his eye was on his cheek.
Two great boxers and good men...👍👍
Sibson said it best... This is Business!
28yrs old and look how Marvin was dressed, spoke and carried himself!!! We gata get back to this, making mature and speaking/acting like you got some sense the “cool” thing to do!!!
This is how it should be,cannot stand the crap nowadays it’s ruining boxing.
It brings a tear to my eye watching Marvin & Tony show so much respect. Hagler remains my favourite fighter of all time. The fact that Sen. Ted Kennedy had to intervene to get him his title shot was outrageous. These were two tough men who let their fists do the talking.
Long live boxing….. R I P MARVELLOUS MARVIN HAGLER …. Fury watch you might learn a lesson on how champions conduct themselves
Sibbo giving respect and Sibbo getting respect in return.
Watching this after so many years in a OK ish looking hotel and you forget that Hagler was the man that beat the great Hearns and Duran and Sibbo fought him at his peak and gave him a great fight.
What a great era in boxing, I would say the best.
And when they did finally meet in 1983 for the World Middleweight Title, Marvin handed out a solid six-round beating to Tony. Thanks for uploading.
You are welcome. "Sibbo" was a decent fighter with a fair dig on him, but Hagler was a class apart. For me Hagler was the best middleweight of them all (including Monzon) Sibson couldn't get out of the way.. Hagler was a master boxer who didn't waste a punch. Sibson gave Marvin full credit with no excuses.
Loved Sibbo and thought he did alright against Marvin. But Marvin was exceptional, so clinical in that fight.
Yes... It was his most sharp performance I'd say. Hagler was just so on point in that performance. However let's not take away from Mr. Simpson .. He was a good bruiser and just an 'A Class' individual. The sport needs more attitude like Tony Simpson had.
I guess Marvin's best performance was the Tommy Hearns fight; certainly his most exciting. Tony Sibson was a top European fighter, but, the truth is, every time he stepped up to world level, he lost: Marvin Hagler, Frank Tate, and Dennis Andries. A really tough man, who didn't quite have the skills to mix it up with the elite guys. Marvin passed way too young - it must have been something genetic, as he was a very fit man. RIP champ - one of the best middleweights in boxing history.@@IanBillen
@@markdoughty8780 Hearns Hagler was epic. Round One (nuff said on that ha). The middle weight division during the 1980's was brutal. Hamsho, Roldan, Mugabi, Anterfermo, Kitchen, Cyze, Sims, etc. Those are aside from others moving up into the division like Hearns Duran and Leonard for a fight. Where those contenders lacked in skill they made up for in ruggedness and will. Several would have been champs if Hagler would not have been there.
Class Acts!
There were Eddie. It was a great era for top class fights and fighters.
@@TBWSport yes..True Sportsmen
Absolutely love this.. 100% respect xx
Class interview
Both a class act great fighters but Marvin hagler was the goat of the middleweight.
How classy was Marvins response to the abuse he took inthe ring after the Minter fight, people nowadays could learn a lot from Marvelous Marvin Hagler RIP Champ
Lovely to see the great Reg Gutteridge hosting. Funny stories involving Reg who came from a boxing family. Gutteridge never turned pro because he sadly lost one of his legs in a landmine blast. Years later Reg when at the beach would hide his prosthetic leg, enter the water, then he'd shout shark as he hopped back to the beach. When with Muhammad Ali at a fancy awards dinner, Reg would tell his dinner companions that he was the toughest man there and to their shock would promptly slam a steak knife into his leg, of course it as his prosthetic leg.
😂😂Great story thanks for sharing bud🤙
Two gents and respect to each other.
When boxing was boxing......
Marvin took the long road to the title. Should have had his crowning glory agaist Artofurmo but didn't get the decision then finally he beats Minter in London and the only image he has is being bundled out of the arena. Marvins career was full of unfortunate episodes and regret.
I can vividly remember the utter disgrace and shame that the english boxing fans displayed the night Marvin beat Minter. Nobody could blame him if he point blank refused to to fight in the UK again. Regarding if Tony would fight Marvin in may be the US or elsewhere? That really was a stupid question. Marvin is the Champ and holds the title. HE decides where he will fight Tony NOT the other way around and just like Tony admitted here, he said he would fight Marvin anywhere he wishes. Respect to BOTH fighters for NOT spurting what we know have come acustomed to the verbal trash talk. RIP champ.
Gentlemen
I agree Sean. We were lucky to be around to watch this era along with the hype and build up. With a few exceptions it isn't the same today. What a great time the 60's 70's and 80's were for boxing.
Both boxers so respectful to each other, and you can fully understand why Marvin didn't want to fight in England again after what happened at the Minter fight, the fans were a disgrace to the whole of the UK.
Hagler's suit, absolutely sensational 👌
Great blokes
Good on Sibson for saying the way Marvin got treated in London was disgraceful. I'm still embarrassed about it.
@dexocube it was just awful, as you rightly point out. It was a minority of spectators(alcohol-fuelled) and clearly they were upset their man had lost the fight..
@@Smudgeroon74 Let's be honest, it was ray sist and Minter had wound the situation up with what he said before the match.
@@dexocube if Minter was that way inclined he would not have offered his hand to Hagler at the weigh in before the fight...
@@Smudgeroon74 Minter said he'd worked 17 years to get to the top and that he "did not intend to lose his title to a black man".
Hagler was understandibly furious and said "He will pay for saying that when we meet at Wembley."
From what I've heard, Minter regretted his words later, and changed his tune, but that was the background to what happened at Wembley.
Things like that don't happen in a vacuum. Those were dark days for my country, when bigotry and intolerance were rampant. And they are again.
I hope that today's bigots will be big enough to show regret when things get better. And they will get better.
Classy and nice 👍
tony sibson builder, fighter, great guy which is the most important one proper hard man
Pure class
Fights like these didn’t need to be sold with badmouthing and disrespect. It’s a reflection on how the sport has gone downhill that the nonsense we see today is prevalent. 😩
Nice.
This is what sportsmanship should look and sound like.
Pure class all round .
Marvelous #1
Classy!
The good old days long before all the BS we have to put up with in 2023.
One word MEN
Marvin clearly won the title of best dressed, Sibson looks like he's moonlighting from laying flags😊
Class act, but man, Tony was totally out of shape between the fights and I suppose a lot of the match training was just about loosing weight
3:08
Hagler wash a great technician!
Unlike today.
Nowadays of course it’s bad mouthing throwing punches tipping over table’s telling each other you’re going to kill them ,and then getting in the ring and making a clown of yourself as you get battered
2:11 2:11
Bulls about Marvin being racist about "white meat" are cancelled from the beginning of the video.
Hahaha. Stupid tiger cub! 🤣
Hagler V Pfizer - HE LOST
Greedy evil Pfizer
I have Goosebumps. I love these fighters old time genuine pure class!
Marvin looking unbelievably cool in that suit! My favourite boxer, along with Lennox & Muhammed Ali! 😀
