Changing One's Mind on Fighters

[marbleheadmaui]

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.

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?
