Last Hurrahs

I should have played the lottery that weekend then

Hearns did well to come in and box the ears of a quality Champion and mover in Virgil hill.

Yeah that's a nice call. It kind of shows how Hearns was revered even then. I mean did anybody think Virgil would win that fight?

Virgill Hill was undefeated and was clearly the favourite because people though Hearn’s was past it.

Hearns WAS past it. But at least in my boxing community everyone, and I mean everyone, thought Hearns would win that fight. We all thought the Hitman was on an entirely different plane. (I get enough picks wrong I need to trumpet when I'm correct).

Virgil froze in that fight, like he was fighting a real legend and it was geographically outside of his comfort zone where he had the majority of his fights.
