      Hearns gets two 10-8 rounds in the 3rd and the 11th rounds for the knockdowns. The two big rounds Leonard had in the 5th and the 12th were devoid of knockdowns and he didn't dominate enough to get 10-8 rounds in either instance. That being the case, Leonard needs to win that fight eight rounds to four in order to get a 112-112 draw. There's no way in hell Ray won eight rounds of that fight.
      Leonard admitted he lost and that says it all. The decision was only proof of his star power, which was something that Ali benefitted from late in his career.

I brought a silver dollar and said some huge prayers to God to protect Tommy and no matter what do not let him get knocked down. After my prayers I slid that dollar under the ring post. The next day i went to the fight with a close friend from the service at Nellis AFB. And no shit Tommy got rocked where I left that dollar and he didnot go down.

Come on folks and you all got to loosen up when it comes to race. Do not let these naysayers provoke you into something your not.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler's commentary during the fight kept cracking me the hell up! 🤣🤣 He couldn't hide his legendary disdain for Sugar Ray Leonard. While the other commentators tried to be as objective as possible, the Champ couldn't help himself with funny jabs at Leonard. It was as if when Hearns wasn't doing enough, he wanted to jump in there, borrow Hearn's gloves, and finish the job. Lmao! Continue to Rest in Power Champ!

    I watched this live and so many times since. IMO, Hearns should've won this fight in a split. I was watching with a bunch of older boxing men and I remember them all booing when Leonard was declared the winner. - Watching Hagler, Leonard and Hearns in the 80's was such a gift to watch. I was a teen and a little too young to really appreciate the kind of high-level boxing they were doing. Amazing.

    I came up boxing in the area where Ray Leonard’s gym is, and I’ve met him a bunch of times. But I’m pretty tall and lean for my weight class so I modeled a lot of my style on Tommy Hearns. I had a conversation with Ray one time about watching tape on the greats and taking everything I could from their matches. He asked me which fighter I thought my style was most like and I told him that it was Tommy. He said that I picked a great fighter to emulate and told me not to forget about Tommy’s most important attribute which he considered to be his heart and determination. Seeing them together on Mike Tyson’s podcast was awesome for me, I have the upmost respect for both of these great champions (and for Iron Mike as well, obviously).
