Hearns did more than enough to get the win, Leonard himself admits the same these days...
Yes.  Thanks for saying that Miles. cc
And you too Ice Cold for suppling the information needed to make a non-biased judgement. 
I've seen that round before though.  Sugar Ray Leonard was almost KO'd in that round.  It's definitely a knockdown.  I've never heard a debate of that knockdown, even from a Ray "fan." 
If it's not a knockdown, I don't know what is, because Ray was almost out.  And I don't hear Leonard complaining on the tape or his corner.  Ray, to this day, doesn't complain about that knockdown.  He was HURT, almost out. 
Damn that was a HIT!  (That dynamite right that started it all.)
