I saw it in person. It was definitely a stiff jab, but not a KO jab. Hearns wanted no part of that, either. He was extremely pissed the old man wouldn't get up.

Hearns wasn't allowed to box. His father wouldn't give him the nod, so he went to college, played basketball, etc. and came back to boxing with his father's blessing once he graduated. He admits to not being a fighter of his father's caliber, but he wants to fight once a month to get up there.
