Marvelous Marvin Hagler withdrew his protest of the outcome of his April 6 middleweight title bout against Sugar Ray Leonard. Hagler’s lawyer, Morris Goldings of Boston, said that the Hagler camp determined that no illegal activities occurred during the officiating of the fight in Las Vegas.
The determination by Hagler agrees with an earlier finding by the Nevada attorney general’s office that none of the officials in the fight violated any rules regarding association with gamblers.
Leonard won the title from Hagler in a 12-round split decision. After the fight, Hagler complained that he had won instead and went on to question the officiating.
