Hearns-Sharpe, Round 8

Last and final round (thank goodness). Hearns impressive skill-wise, but killer instinct not even within sneezing distance of his old man. Jabs, right hands, rinse and repeat for Hearns. Sharpe tough, taking shots in order to work his way inside. Lands uppercut, takes two to the body. Hearns hurting him everytime he goes downstairs, but not committing enough to a body attack to finish him off. Right hand for Hearns, Sharpe sneaks in a counter right. Right hand, big left hook and right hand that rings Sharpe's bell at the bell.

Hearns 10-9, 80-72

Official scores forthcoming.

He was scheduled to fight Ben Tackie in his last fight but Tackie pulled out I believe. That would have been a step up from what Berto has been dealing with thus far.
