Jab duels.

[mikeeod]

The first fight that came into my mind wasn't a classic and likely won't be remembered that long compared to some other big big events ...... but I thought Thomas Hearns won over Winky Wright was a classic jab battle.

Hearns had a genuinely superb jab, evidenced by my view that he was the only person to outjab Ray Leonard, and he did it twice too.

Do you mean Hearns vs Virgil Hill maybe? Tommy never fought Winky, or am I remembering incorrectly?

You are right, X is mixing it up.

Yes, you're quite right. Of course it was Virgil Hill and not Winky Wright. I must have had a brain freeze

It was bound to happen when you are over 100 years of age and saw Sullivan v Corbett.

Good call that one X. Poor Hill tried to match jabs until the Hearns right started clanging off the side of his head. Hill did well to show some big brass being hurt multiple times.

Hill was firm favourite to win and just got outclassed by an old over the hill past his best Tommy. Virgil just seemed lost in the limelight of a big super fight.

There's a lifetime between North Dakota to Vegas indeed. Hearns set pace and counter boxed his arse silly. The only Hill Tommy rolled over that night was Virgil .

I can't think of one? It is just a very under-analyzed punch, even though it counts in punchstats. lol....
