Leonard was beating his ass all over in the 13th. Nothing to do with Tommy being tired. Taking a beating like that would tire a lot of guys out I guess.

he may have beat his ass around the ring in that round regardless but how can you say hearns wasnt exhausted? he could barely keep his hands up and this is coming from a huge srl fan

Because he was boxing fine in the 11, 12th and 13th until he got caught.

Yes he was,, he also got caught in the mid rounds as well, but later in the fight he didnt have the energy to endure this war any longer and lost....

It seems like you know boxing,,, so i cant understand why you cant see that hearns was tired as hell.... SRL landed hard shots,, hearns had no more energy to recover from those shots,,, SRL won it fair and square...

I think we are squabbling over tedious things.

but he looked very tired in the 13th. not saying it had anything to do with him being caught and stopped though. it was a clean stoppage and great win for srl. srl is one of my all time favs

Are you familiar with Hearns' style at all? He has a habit of dropping his left hand and that's what got him in trouble here, it's what got him into trouble in the Barkley fights and it's the only reason Benitez was able to fight such a close fight because he was catching him with his left hand low.

It has nothing to do with him being gassed and leaving his hands down. That's how he fights and that's why his jab is so snapping, because it is usually being pumped from the waist in an upward motion.

You have an excellent breakdown of hearns flaws,,, but how was hearns able to survive beneitiz,, because it wasnt a war like it was with SRL

it was such a grueling battle, that hearns had nothing left when srl caught him in the 13th...

Benitez doesn't have Ray's power

I know its his style to keep his hands low but I just thought he looked pooped. we'll just have to agree to disagree. not a big deal

So you guys dont think tommy was tired in the 14th,, when dude just layed on the ropes and slid down them...

Not dis*****g that SRL bombed on him,, how come SRL didnt just bomb on him in the first 4 rounds or in rounds 10,11,12... He landed good shots on hearns throughout the fight...... Hearns landed shots on him,,, it was a war of attrition and SRL won......
There have been countless interviews with emmanual saying that tommy's legs were no good, probably just an excuse, but you guys acting like tommy took one shot and was out,,,
Hearns wasnt even down when it was stopped,,,,,,, Hearns was just done,,,, he had nothing left,,,
this wasnt like a hagler or barkley stoppage,,,

Adam, Sugar took the fight from Hearns through head and body shots. Leonard went from the hunted to hunter. Hearns didn't get tired from throwing punches is Sam's point. Sugar had everything to do with Hearns problems.

[Frank Ducketts]

hearns was obviously exhausted in what was a grueling fight. not sure how anyone can debate that

Exhausted from what?
