Hearns was trying to box his way to victory.Leonard had him on the run since the eighth round.Hearns got stopped,not because he "made the mistake of tradin" but because he got hurt and was left in there with one of the most ruthless finishers of the last thirty years.
In which case you'd be wrong.Hearns never struggled to make the welterweight limit.His greatest issue when moving up from 147 was putting on weight.
Hearns was rocked several times in sixth round and again in the seventh.To claim Leonard won just two or three rounds is beyond absurd.
