Best Defensive Effort in a Losing Cause
'Best Defensive Effort in a Losing Cause'
December 3, 1982
Wilfred Benitez against Thomas Hearns.
Wilfred {Age; 24 years, 2 months} was not given much of a chance to
last the distance against 'The Hit Man'.
But, on defense alone, Wilfred not only lasted the 15-Round distance,
but he kept the bout much closer than anybody thought.

YOung schooled Ali that night in Landover, Maryland. I saw the fight live on ABC with Howard Cosell commentating. It was a highway robbery.I like the way you think.

Re: Best Defensive Effort in a Losing Cause
I think Floyd Sr gave SRL some problems defensively.
Hop vs Kovalev is the best recent example. Lost every round but still managed to avoid most of the big bombs and stay on his feet against one of the biggest punchers in boxing.

Pat did put on a good defensive effort. Near brilliant against a great boxer.
