AS evidenced by the closeness of the scorecards, Weston gave Hearns alot of trouble. He was an elusive target that was hard for Hearns to hit.

Hearns did have a certain sharpness to his punches which caused detached retinas.. He did not purposely do it ,but Weston, Leonard and Olajide all sort of had eye problems after fighting Hearns. Although I am not sure Olajide's eye problem was due to Hearns. I think he had them before that. The Weston fight I think ended in round 5 or 6. So Weston had to be taking alot of punches to that point. But Hearns thumbing him was far fetched for Weston to claim. And to this day I think he still claims it. In no way am I saying Hearns purposely would hurt someones eye. I just think he had a certain sharpness to his punches and his jab which did alot of damage.
