    As much as I admire Hearns (amazing ATG), Hide hit too hard.

    Tommy might make it 2 rounds.

    I watched a few Garza fights awhile ago, and I remember the commentator actually mentioning a possible match up between Gomez/Garza. Garza would of been knocked out early in my opinion, but it certainly would be fun while it lasted. Garza had one of the cleanest/best left hooks I've ever seen, and was the ultimate kill or be killed fighter.

    Yes I tend to agree that Hide would finish this fairly quickly. I suspect Hearns…one of the most devastating punchers at WW…would not carry the same firepower at Cruiser, though he’d probably still have the tools to rock Hide a bit. But Hide had HW power in those fists…

    Hill was a defensive first fighter and often boring, this would probably be a tactical chess match, with both men looking to establish there jabs. If its 12 rounds it could possibly go the distance.

    Perhaps he meant Benny Hill. I would truly doubt it would go 15.
