Marvin Hagler v Thomas Hearns Apr 1985 - Ian Darke
Original commentary notes by Ian Darke
A high quality print of Ian Darke’s original commentary notes for what was known as The Fight - the much-anticipated match-up between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas to see who would become the undisputed world middleweight champion.
Why we love this sheet? Most boxing experts will say that the first round goes down as the greatest of all time. Unrelenting action and furious punching as both fighters went toe to toe from the bell. As commentator Ian Darke said he was barely able to draw breath.
Available as an A2 framed print or an A2 print only.

Where the notes come from
Straight from the commentary box.
You're buying a print, not the original paper — and the value is in whose paper it was. We'd rather say that here than let you find out later.
- Supplied by the commentator who wrote it. We work with them directly, not the resale market.
- Reproduced, never recreated. Nothing retyped or tidied. The shorthand and corrections stay exactly where they fell.
- Signed editions are numbered. Selected prints are signed by hand and limited.
