LAS VEGAS, Nevada.- Just days after the death of boxing legend Marvin Hagler, he began a controversy over the use of his death in a campaign against the Covid-19 vaccine, stating that the vaccine had had something to do with Hagler’s death until his wife came out to deny it.
It all started with a post by ex-boxer Thomas Hearn: A True Warrior. Pray for the king and his family … he is in the ICU fighting the effects of the vaccine! It will be fine, but we could use the positive energy and prayer for your full recovery! “, He published and immediately users began to criticize the use of vaccines and their effects.
Days later, Hagler’s wife Kay denied in a statement the version: “I was the only person close to him until the last minute, and I’m the only person who knows how the things not even his family knows all the details and I do NOT agree to read any stupid comment without really knowing what happened.It sure was not the vaccine that caused his death.My baby went in peace with the his usual smile and now is not the time to say nonsense, “he said.
Wonderful Marvin Hagler knocked out Thomas Hearns in an epic fight that lasted less than eight minutes and still lingers in the annals of boxing.
Two years later it was so much his displeasure to lose by split decision to Sugar Ray Leonard – in a robbery by the judges, he said – that he never fought again.
Hagler, one of the great middleweights in boxing history, died Saturday at age 66. His wife, Lay, announced Hagler’s death on a Facebook page dedicated to boxing fans.
“I’m sorry to make a very sad announcement,” he wrote. “Unfortunately today my beloved husband Marvel Marvin died unexpectedly at home here in New Hampshire. Our family asks them to respect our privacy in these difficult times.”
Hagler fought on the biggest stages of boxing against the big figures when he, Leonard, Hearns and Panamanian Roberto Durán dominated the middleweight categories during the golden age of boxing in the 1980s.
Silent and taciturn-looking, Hagler staged 67 fights in more than 14 years as a professional, training in Brockton, Massachusetts. He finished with a 62-3-2 record, with 52 knockouts.
