    Who wins this matchup? I think this is a bad style matchup for maxim I think hearns wins on points, what is more important is what do you think?

    Tough, considering Maxims lack of power it’s very possible that Hearns boxes him to a win for a 12 round UD.

    He isn’t going to dent Maxim even a little on the way tho this much I know and if Joey turns up the heat it could end badly...

    Maxim looked sharper than Hearns at 175, he looked quicker v Robi than Hearns did in his fights at 175, his footwork was better, watch how active his feet were v Robi, in and out like a poor mans Usyk, I think he`d confuse Hearns who displayed more skill and speed with less weight.

    Just how many rounds did you give Maxim before SRR collapsed?

    This is the correct answer. Thomas picks him apart, drops the occasional left hook to the belly off that jab and enough sharp-shooting rights to augment that jab and bank rounds easily over the distance.

    Too much speed. Too much class.

    Hearns can win a decision. He isn't stopping Maxim unless by fluke.

    Hearns can win, but I have a feeling Joey will find a way to beat Thomas if it is 15.
