Hearns didn't want to mess with benitez too much on the ropes because he felt he was winning outside and he was but i thought he should have unloaded on benitez' body more on the ropes. Benitez defense on the ropes works well against a guy like duran but hearns is taller and faster and i think he eats benitez up there. He did at times..
I think it's more likely that Hearns right hand is hurt and he wants to box. Something has to be wrong with his right hand, he's just not throwing it.
Its a darn good fight this is.

It's a shame Benitez flamed out early in his career

He did knacker his hand in this fight and didn't defend the title until early 1984.
