...rounds come. Fully Insured has nothing. Hagler is throwing everything. Fully can take a punch, though, and he is getting a good chance to prove it. Finally in the sixth Hagler throws his left hook and Fully is on the floor. The crowd is going crazy. "Mahvin! We love yooooo!" Fully gets up. He is moving like a freighter in heavy seas...
