incredible to schedule a fight so soon after a brutal stoppage. Emanual Steward always said the key for a fighter to recover fully from being knocked out or having a tough fight is to take a 6 months and over rest after being stopped badly. After the Hagler fight Hearns was off for 11 months. Did him well. He seemed to need the rest. Some people think differently but a long rest can also give the fighter a fresher feeling and not have the knockout so clear in his mind.
It is weird to come back so quick after a brutal fight.
Zab has done this before though. After he lost to Spinks (which wasn't a bloody fight but was a loss), he took only a month off and then fought Pineda, and he fought one of the worst fights of his career. Zab was awful that night against Pineda.
