Re: Hearns vs Trinidad
Hearns goes out trying to intimidate Tito and drops him. Tito gets up and Hearns hangs in the pocket trying to engage Tito just a little too much and gets caught. Hearns doesn't want more of that (neither would steward) and adjusts trying to pick Tito off for the rest of the fight from the outside, the way de la hoya did only more effective. (he wobbles him/drops him once or twice more but its nothing like the drowning from hopkins).
Theres a chance tito could win by stoppage, depending on when and where he caught Tommy and puts him on the tilt a whirl and how much time he had left in the round to finish him, but chances are the kronk team is very aware of that and avoids it except if/when tommy goes rogue and gets caught with a reminder.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
