There was also a lot of speculation about Hearns over training because he came into the fight weighing only 145. Stewart acknowledged that "mistakes were made" partly because it was their first superfight. But I can't take anything way from Leonard. He fought a great fight that night and he hurt Hearns badly in the fight early (5th round) with a left hook. That forced Hearns to change his strategy and with success. He was outboxing Leonard. But Leonard showed a great chin and great stamina himself. The rematch was Hearns fight, I agree and I think even Leonard says, " I won the first, Tommy won the second. If he fought 100 times he would win 50and I would win 50"
