Predict this Middleweight tournement

Benn UD Wright? I don't agree with the computer there, the only way Benn is winning is by stoppage which I think is unlikely.

I'm with you 100% on that, just reporting what the computer spat out. If you look at my original post I had Wright ud Benn.........Rockin'

I know, I liked your analysis on the fights. Especially how you think Hearns beats McCallum like myself. I feel people don't give MW Hearns enough credit. it's almost like a cliché fest.

Hearns + Tough Fighter/Hard Puncher = Hearns Stopped.

I think people forget MW Hearns destroyed Duran, went 3 rounds with a demented Hagler at a non-stop pace with a broken hand.

I have a story that I was told by the Kronk pr man about the Hagler/Hearns fight.

The dressing room is full and Tommy is warming up and getting ready to war. Steward steps out of the room for a few to take care of some details and when he comes back he sees Tommy laying face first on a table with some guy rubbing out Tommys legs. Steward was furious and kicked everybody out. When you are ready to fight you don't want relaxed muscles, you want then taunt and ready for action. If you watch the fight again you will see that Hearns never had his legs under him as he normaly did. Just a tid bit that I thought you might find interesting.......Rockin'

That was a LMW Hearns.

Yeah, I heard about that before. Never actually had it confirmed though, thanks.

Especially noticable in the second round:

" A little rubbery here in round two."

Actually, its not that far-fetched. Winky always had a top notch chin but he could get kd. Like against Vasquez, he was down 5 times but lost on points. Same coulda happened against Benn. Benn drops him a few times but can't put him away (tho I think he could, he was a SMW and hit way harder than Vasquez) and so he has to settle for a decision victory.

Good point and I understand what you mean.........Rockin'

I often negate the jr's and supers.

The Vasquez fight seems like a fluke to me Winky took punches from Bernard Hopkins Fernando Vargas and Shane Mosley and never once was the slightest bit hurt.

Hopkins doesn't hit that hard. Vasquez probably hit just as hard even tho he was a lmw. Hopkins always stopped his opponents on volume punching rather than power punching. Vasquez on the other hand was a puncher. Might not have the highest ko percentage in the division but he could pack a punch.
