Tommy Hearns v Michael Nunn

Very hard to pick a winner but gun to my head Nunn on points.

 

For me, styles favour Hearns, but I don't think he could deal with Nunn's physicality here, who'd stop Hearns late imo

 

Bump..

 

Hearns

 

I can see the argument for Nunn, but I sense at some point in this fight Tommy tees off with one of his straight rights that deflates Nunn. Even if he doesn't get stopped his transmission will be in reverse for the rest of the fight.

 

Hearns was a cut above. He was a tiche better at the long game ... BUT ... its at 160, so I would make the fight even ... bad weight for Hearns

 

Bump.
Styles do favour Hearns, he was never outboxed, but he just wasn’t elite at 160lbs or above, still world class, but not elite at that weight, Nunn was, Hearns may hurt him, and if they were the same weight naturally, Hearns could take him out, but Nunn’s superior durability at that weight would see him stealing it, either stopping him late, or outworking him down the stretch.

 

Nunn would get the Hill treatment IMO.

 

I would favor Hearns to win on points or late stoppage, unless Nunn pulled another Kalamby stunt out of his sleeve

 

Nunn is closer to his prime so he will be quicker on the draw and win on points

 

What does Hearns do better than Nunn at 160
