    I gave Benitez something like 4 or 5 rounds and the rest went to Hearns. Been a while since I've seen the fight, Hearns just outworked Wilfred in many rounds. Still great display by both men. Wilfred's career seem to really decline after this fight.

    For the record, "Hearns-Benitez" was in Dec. 1982, which was the year I scored my first VCR and tape... That fight was the first PPV I actually recorded on my own authority... I still have the master tape, too...

    If you look over the fight for review, you'll see Benitez looking dejected after several of the rds while wandering back to his corner / stool... Team Benitez knew they were behind on points as the rds were mounting...
