'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.Quote:

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.
Herol Graham v Julian Jackson - boxing masterclass about to get stopped at the end of the round and then the Hawk lands.
Master
You cannot be Knocked Out in a 'best' defensive effort.
In a losing cause!Quote:

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