    12 rounds at middleweight. No judges needed...

    Steele.

    Unbelievably effective puncher, coupled precision with serious power. And he's got the jaw to hang in there and connect on Hearn's as well.

    Whoever can get to who first. Hearns was rangier, but Steele was quicker and more fluid at this weight.

    Steele is a very highly regarded puncher for someone with a 41% KO ratio

    Hearns is a very highly rated middleweight for a guy who went 5-2 with 2 KO defeats in the division.

    Perhaps they are hanging out with a girl.

    It's worth trying.
