    If Hearns plays it safe and boxes behind his jab and uses his legs to stay out of harms way he would probably win a decision over Holley. Joey G used the same strategy to defeat Mims and Hearns with his longer reach, faster hands and quick feet would likely do the same. With that said however Mims is just one good punch away from turning this fight around, as he packed a wallop in both fists and he would be coming after Tommy all night. He was also very adept at timing his opponents with that sneaky right of his while in the middle of exchanges with them, and if he lands it right on Tommy`s kisser its lights out for the Hitman. I`ll go with Hearns by decision, but I wouldn`t put any money on it.

    MimS was tough could cause an upset but I say Tommy wins a NOD

    I don't even know if Hearn's could dent Mim's chin.

    Guy had a hell of a beard on him.
