Thomas Don't Like Marvin, Marvin Don't Like Thomas Lyrics

April 15th, 1985. Ceasar's Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas "The Hit Man" Hearns,

Square off to see who would be, the Middle Weight Champion of the World?

Both men champions, The Fight! would soon become The War!

And history would be made…. Can…. You…. Dig it?!?!

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, he don't like Thomas.

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, well, he don't like Thomas.

Round One!

Hagler and Hearns sprint to the center of the ring and start punchin'!

A hundred and sixty-five punches thrown!

A hundred and six punches landed!

And Hagler is cut above his right eye!

Hearns hit Hagler so hard, it broke "The Hit Man's" right hand!

The announcer exclaimed, "It's only the first round!"

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, he don't like Thomas.

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, well, he don't like Thomas.

Round Two!

The carnage continues…

Blood is pouring out of Hagler's head, and the punches just keep comin'!

Neither fighter is even close to yielding!

But the fighter from Motown had gotten a massage earlier.

And that's all the man from Boston would ever need.

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, he don't like Thomas.

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, well, he don't like Thomas.

Round Three!

Hagler's eye is bleeding so badly, THE REF ALMOST STOPS THE BOUT!

But Tommy Hearns is in big trouble! His legs, wobbly from that pre-fight massage.

Marvelous Hagler took advantage of Hearns' weakness,

And he punched...! And he crushed...!

Thomas "The Hit Man" Hearns… into… HISTORY!

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, he don't like Thomas.

Thomas, he don't like Marvin. And Marvin, he don't like Thomas, no.

Over three hundred punches thrown! A hundred and ninety-one landed!

A hundred and fifty-seven power-punches!

Arguably, the greatest three, consecutive rounds,

in professional boxing history!
