Lost Tommy Hearns Moments

[Quicksilver*]

Thought hill was going too out box him that night. But hearns just would not be denied.

The liver is located on the right side of your body. Hill was nailed in the left side and suffered some broken ribs. KO of the year because that never happens to anyone. Especially a tough guy like Hill. I can understand the false memory because liver shot seems more logical.

That's right! It was the ribs. How often are there broken ribs to that degree. It just rare. Thank for the correction. Time is flying

I lived and died with the two Hearns-Leonard fights. Saw the first on Closed Circuit TV in Lake Tahoe, going into Round 14 there was no way Hearns loses that fight but Leonard had that extra something I think Hearns lacked just a bit. The second fight was a robbery and the draw hurt Hearns legacy even though he deserved the decision. The Hagler fight was desperation. I think he went for it so early to either win it or lose it and not have to go through 12 or 15 rounds of hell. Great fighter, great skills, maybe just a bit short of the mental strength of Leonard and Hagler. But that right hand following the left jab - he KO'd some people big time in his day.

I actually think he showed more mental strength than Leonard in THE WAR! I think he wanted to box Hagler, but there was something in the air that night. He landed his right flush and decided to go for the KO in that moment. But the greatest chin in middleweight history took it. It should have been Hagler Leonard that night in 1985, but Ray wanted nothing to do with it.
