Hearns knockouts

[Sugar Adam Ali]

The Cuevas KO was more impressive, as he was in his prime and on the top of his game, having destroyed previous opponents with his vaunted left hook. From a visual standpoint, it was even more spectacular with Pipino doing the 'rubbery leg tango' before going down. It was also more significant to Tommy, as it won him the title. Though a bigger name historically, Duran was way past his prime, though he went on to notch another impressive (Barkley) win/belt.

You make a very good point,,,, the cuevas ko was super brutal, and he did the judah dance decades before judah,,,

I just always was in awe of the duran ko, because nobody before or after had ever ko'd duran like that, and duran fought everyone from 68-2000,, and the year before duran held his own vs hagler, and after held his own vs barkley, vinny paz, etc Not even a prime joppy in 98 could stop duran cold,,, But your rightm the cuevas ko was visually stunning

thing about the cuevas fight is that cuevas actualy got up around 6 and when his guy grabbed him he had a bit of a resistant reaction. shocking to see a guy severed from his senses like that beatin a ten count tho he clearly was in no condition to keep fightin. not like duran who was comatose n stiff as a board. not the first but one of the first few fights i saw hearns in was the eddie gazo fight on cbs. made gazo look like nothin tho gazo was a ranked fighter.
