    Hart, who was generally game was usually tame in this fight. Anyone have testimonials as to why?

    I think Burns just made him mad and frustrated him.

    Hart was outclassed and outgeneralled in every department despite being 20lbs the heavier man.
    The fact that Johnson toyed with Burns makes the Johnson V Hart result all the more open to question.
    THis paper gave Hart just 2 of the 20 rds.

    This paper gave Burns all 20 rds!
