  • Knockout in 5:50!!!

  • Hearns weighed 2 lbs under, I think he would have won otherwise.

  • @Maeror2010 yea but leanord was able to take hearns best shots. it was a good stoppage yes hearns was a head but sugar became the slugger and finished him off

  • @kingzula

    Hearns was winning on points when the fight was stopped. He was exhausted in the fourteenth, but he wasn't out. He should have won that fight.

  • Tommy was so fast,cuevas did well to get up from that right.

  • Pretty amazing that Cuevas even got up.

  • @Rdenn9001 ray leanord walk thru him in the first fight

  • The only way to beat Hearns is to walk through him like Marvin Hagler and Iran Barkley.  Otherwise, he stays at a distance where he can hit you and you can hit him. This was Manny Stewart's strategy to destroy Cuevas and Duran.

  • Didn't matter one bit that the fight was in Tommy's backyard. It didn't matter that he kept that jab out there to obstruct his vision and hold on from time to time. Tommy was 4" taller and Cuevas had no answer to that problem. He couldn't reach Hearns and Hearns could easily reach him.

  • @MisterNifty Well, Hearns won Leonard 2. He made the opponents scared because of the right, so he could keep using the reach. And that 'flicker' jab is hard to slip and duck. Remember, Hearns' reach is good so an overhand right might not make it close enough.
