BROCKTON Wearing white T-shirts with his name and image on them and other maroon articles of clothing, family members of the late Marvelous Marvin Hagler sat under a large tent at Marciano Stadium on Sunday as the boxing legend was celebrated.
“When Marvin boxed, he always wore maroon. When I was looking at his pictures, he wore maroon in all of them, said Mae Lang, Hagler s mother. In honor of his birthday, I told the family to wear maroon so we can keep the memory alive. I never saw so many people show love to one person. I feel a little sad it’s been hard but it encourages me to keep going.”

Brockton Massachusetts Honored Marvin Hagler Sunday
By
On what would have been his 67th birthday, the state of Massachusetts and, specifically his adopted hometown of Brockton, honored legendary former Undisputed Middleweight Champion
Marvelous Marvin Hagler Sunday afternoon. At a ceremony at fellow boxing legend “Rocky Marciano Stadium,” several hundred residents and fans came to remember Hagler’s great career and impact on their community.
Hagler, who dominated as Middleweight champ from 1980 – 87, died suddenly in March from what his wife described as heart failure, amid speculation that his sudden illness was being impacted by Covid-19.
That included the man who battled Hagler for two and a half rounds in both of their most famous fight, Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. The epic three round Hagler-Hearns battle is still regarded 35 years later, as the greatest short fight in championship boxing history.
