"Last week, on Friday the thirteenth of all days, the news broke that I hoped would not. Tommy's comeback will indeed continue. He is scheduled to box one Shannon Landberg on February the 4th this year. A decent fighter on the club circuit, Landberg has a respectable 58-10-3 (26) record and also has a couple of names on his record; Markus Beyer out pointed him over ten and Mads Larsen stopped him in four.. At this point in his life ANY fight is a dangerous proposition for Hearns but, as was the case with Long, Landberg looks to be as safely picked an adversary as possible. He has been inactive as of late, last fighting in November of 2003( a two round win) and his KO percentage is not one indicative of a murderous puncher. Still, I just wish Tommy would hang 'em up."
This is very sad to hear. A legend that just persists to tarnish his legacy. Tommy Hearns is not my favorite boxer but he was a great boxer that provided the boxing community with very entertaining fights, I just wish he would stop fighting.
