| - The Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran (or, alternatively, Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran, Roberto Duran vs. Marvin Hagler or Roberto Duran vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler) contest was a professional boxing fight which took place on November 10, 1983, at the Caesar's Palace hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was for Hagler's universally recognized (or undisputed) IBF, WBA and WBC world Middleweight title. Having knocked out Davey Moore in eight rounds on the previous June 16th to win his third divisional world championship, the WBA world Junior Middleweight one, Duran, a Panamanian, was attempting to become the first four division world champion in boxing history. Hagler, meanwhile, had beaten Alan Minter by third round technical knockout in September of 1980 to win the undisputed world Middleweight title, and, after proposed "super-fight" title defenses against Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns failed to take place, was making the eighth defense of that championship, his seven previous defenses all ending in knockout wins for the American champion. The fight was televised live on closed circuit in the United States and (free of charge) on WAPA-TV in Puerto Rico, where it was worked by sportscaster Rafael Bracero. It was also shown days later in the USA for free on cable station HBO's HBO World Championship Boxing, with Barry Tompkins, Larry Merchant and Duran's archrival (and, later also, Hagler opponent) Sugar Ray Leonard working the HBO show. The bout caused great expectations both among boxing and non-boxing fans alike, and Ring Magazine produced a rare, special issue about it which came out days before the fight. Other media outlets, such as Sports Illustrated, also covered the event. Hagler came into the fight with 57 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws (ties), 48 of his wins being by knockout. For his part, Panama's Duran sported a record of 77 wins and 4 losses in 81 professional boxing contests, 58 of his wins by knockout. The bout's presenter was Chuck Hull; its referee was Stanley Christodoulou of South Africa. Christodoulou, coincidentally, had also refereed Duran's fellow Latin and Central American Alexis Arguello's first attempt versus Aaron Pryor at becoming a four division world boxing champion, which had come almost a year before Hagler-Duran's date, on November 12, 1982 at Miami, Florida. Also like Pryor-Arguello I and II (the latter of which was also held at the Caesars Palace hotel), the fight was promoted by Bob Arum. (en)
