    Given Michael Nunn put Sumbu to sleep inside of a round, I like Tommy Hit Man's chances.

    Kalambay was supreme but he struggles with Tommy’s length and style

    Hearns thrived on pure boxer types. Kalambay would have no chance at all whatsoever. I expect Hearns to ice Kalambay within 6 rounds or win in lopsided fashion.

    Hearns UD Kalambay’s defense allows him to survive

    Hearns win s with that sharp jab. Kalambay manages to see the final bell but Tommy gets a unanimous.

    I think that jab is what would pave the way for Hearns.
    I think Kalambay would give him some anxious moments but that Hearns jab would throw Sumbu off.

    kalambay was good. I see it going 12 no matter what. I think Tommy uses his jab an wins a close decision.. Tough fight for him, but he wins.

    Thomas The Hit Man Hearns takes this one on points. Sumbu Kalambay survives the bout by using his footwork and speed, but he would be tagged consistently by the Hearns jab, and would have immense respect for the right hand.
