Changing One's Mind on Fighters

Kinchen was another fight where he didn't take it well.
But Hearns could get you, too. Duran, I think, was a better fighter, in that he'd beat guys that Hearns couldn't, but I can't see him ever beating Hearns. Just styles, I guess.

Totally agree. Styles and that straight 'come to jeezus' like right hand Hearns had. One of the most devastating kos ever seen.

I saw Hearns fight in LA once, against Kemper Morgan (Morton?), and he knocked him out with a left hook.

Watching that fight was the strangest thing. I had never before, and would never see again, Duran look really, really uncomfortable in the ring. Frustrated sure. But he looked at Hearns like Tommy was from another planet and where the hell was the cavalry?

Its always struck me odd that one yeh. With nothing but mass respect to Duran, almost seemed a man vs boy match, ya know. He just detonated on his chin.
