    I saw him fight a number of times. Out of san Diego, I think. Looked real good early in his career. If my memory is correct many people thought he beat Hearns- that fight was noteworthy because it was the only time Hearns ever hung on to avoid being stopped. Kinchen didn't finish well, either.
    What held him back, I think, was a tendency to get lazy in fights and stop throwing punches. That is my memory but I haven't seen him fight or thought about him in years. looking at his record it kind of suprises me that he beat Mrvin mack- I wouldn't have thought he'd beat a tough, busy guy like that, moving up in weight.

    Didn't he go like 36-0 or 38-0 before he lost?

    Spot on, I think Tommy edged it, but I am bias! Kinchen was pretty flaky and as you suggest after a hot start to his career, he was brought in as cannon fodder for Hearns. And got shots at Williams and Hill because of that performance. Hill flattening him a round was a bit of a stunner...

    Kitchen was found to have a banned drug in his system after the Hearns fight , he was battered by Roldan , by the time Hill got to him he was done.

    Had never heard of him. Like that lead right he throws though, almost snaps it like a jab over the top, pretty slick. Had Hearns right fucked there, and the ref wasn't giving him a fair shake to finish it imo. Hearns was holding on for dear life well beyond the clinch and deserved to lose at least a point more than he did and sooner.

    I was glad Hearns held and got the decision. Leonard thought he could take Hearns after this I think.

    No Hearns held on and got the decision.

    I hated him first he was scary and battered Andries like a naughty child but researched him and he was a legend and gave it everything.
