[Greg Norris @GregNorris50]

@PunchZoneAris Good fight, wasn’t close. Judges scored too many rounds even.

[Greg Norris @GregNorris50]

@TheFightCity Love the list, I might flip the Duran and Mugabi fights.

@DanCanobbio Like you said earlier on a post that I think you deleted for some reason, boxing is not a sport, it’s a business.

Middleweight Marvin Hagler makes his pro debut on May 18, 1973 at the Brockton High School Gymnasium, scoring a 2nd round (of a scheduled four) KO of Terry Ryan.
----------------------------------------------------------
I did some searching, just for fun, and I think these are accurate:

Hagler earned $50 for his professional boxing debut.

Joe Louis earned exactly $59 for his professional boxing debut.

Rocky Marciano earned a guaranteed purse of $35 for his professional debut.

Muhammad Ali earned $2,000 for his professional debut.

Roberto Duran earned $25 for his professional boxing debut.

Sugar Ray Leonard earned a purse of $40,044 for his professional boxing debut.

Larry Holmes earned exactly $63 for his professional boxing debut.

Mike Tyson made a reported purse of just $450 for his pro debut.

Jake Paul earned a reported $1 million for his professional boxing debut against fellow YouTuber Ali Eston Gib on January 20, 2020, in Miami.
----------------------------------------------------------
Hagler had just won the National AAU Championship (165-lbs) six days earlier with a three-round points decision over Jerry Dobbs at Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

The future legendary Middleweight Champion will fight eight times as a pro in 1973 with all but one of his eight victories ending in stoppages.

"A champion shows who he is by what he does when he's tested. When a person gets up and says 'I can still do it', he's a champion. If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it."
- Marvin Hagler.

@SteveKim323 @BoxingNewsED Just tried to order the Hagler collector’s edition, it’s the only one that is sold out, hopefully they restock soon!

@SteveKim323 Hagler accomplished a lot inside the ring, what separated him in his fan’s eyes was how he carried himself outside the ring!

Kashmir, a classic of Led Zeppelin. Written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, the song that Robert Plant mentioned like ''I wish we were remembered for Kashmir more than Stairway To Heaven'' in an interview.

Originally titled Driving To Kashmir, the song had begun as a lyric Plant had been inspired to write in the autumn of 1973 after a long, seemingly never-ending drive through “the waste lands”, as he put it, of southern Morocco. It's meaning had nothing to do with Kashmir, in northern India, at all.

As Plant explained Kashmir's meaning to Cameron Crowe, it was about the road journey itself rather than a specific geographical location: “It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the east and west were ridges of sand rock. It looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it.” Hence, Plant said, the opening lyric: ‘Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams.’

Musically, the juddering rhythm had erupted out of a late-night session involving Page and drummer John Bonham during one of the band’s regular stays at Headley Grange, the haunted mansion in East Hampshire where they recorded so many tracks in the early 70s.

“It was just Bonzo and myself,” Page said. “He started the drums, and I did the riff and the overdubs, which in fact get duplicated by an orchestra at the end, which brought it even more to life. It seemed so sort of ominous and had a particular quality to it. It’s nice to go for an actual mood and know that you’ve pulled it off.”

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page performing 'Kashmir' with the Egyptian orchestra leaded by Hossam Ramzi.

This song is already something that has so much power in itself but with an orchestra, with the notes of all that instruments, it became something extraordinary.

Please enjoy.
