Hmm, I didn't hear about a broken hand before. The weak legs thing is according to what Emanuel Steward said.
Tommy Hearns: Biography from Answers.com
there you go. enjoy the read.
if u dont wanna read the whole thing il just put the paragragh which explains it.
"We knew it was over," Steward said in
In The Corner. "All the months of training and some guy is
rubbing down Tommy's legs about three hours before the fight. Because a
rubdown is what you get when you're through with a
workout so your muscles will be stretched. By the time he came in the ring, his legs were all messed up," he explained further. Legs aside, the first round of his bout with "Marvelous Marvin" Hagler in 1985 is now considered in boxing circles to be the best first round of all time. Hearns broke his hand in that round against Hagler's head. He had opened a
gash in Hagler's
forehead that looked like it would stop the fight in the third round when the
ringside doctor was called in to look at it. But the fight went on and then Hagler dropped Hearns. Although he got to his feet before the count was over, the fight was stopped and Hagler got the
TKO.
ps, it was his legs too.
