I had hearns ahead by 2 points. To me Hearns had lost his speed here, not all, but Hearns Jab made the difference. In the 1st couple of rds Hills had a stiff fast jab. Hearns a stiffer more powerful jab just a little slower. Even though Hill never went down, he tasted the power and he knew he couldn't get hit with too many of the right hands and left to body. Every time he opened up that is what happened. This was a closer fight in my eyes, then when I watched it with my friends in 91.

@treetoptop The back is only one small part of the equation for Hearns. He gets his legs, hips, and back into every power shot he throws. Hell, even his jab has some real authority on it. I can't stand guys who paw lazily with their jabs the way most guys do today. It drives me nuts. They need to lash out and hit their opponent with the jab, not just stick it out there, bust 'em up with it. Boxers today need to watch some of Hearns' fights and learn. This is how you punch for real! :)

I will say Arguelllo and virgil looks alike and they were gentleman if they beat their opponenst they used to come and great if they lost the fight they did the same now those time are gone there is too much hate and no love for the sport

Very scary to hit an opponent iwht 3-4 in a row of your hardest shots. Punches that would drop almost anyone else... but the guy is unfazed and just keeps COMING AT YOU..

The last great performance by an all-time great Thomas "Hitman" Hearns.
