    2 exciting offensive minded fighters with a killer instinct but with vulnerable chins. How do you see this fight play out @ light MW? This will certainly not go the distance. Could Hearns blitz Norris like he did with Duran, or would Norris find a way to find his mark on Hearns and finish him?

    Hearns should be the clear favorite but I don't think you can count Norris out.

    Norris with his skillset will be game until he gets caught. As for the round, I'm not sure.

    Agreed. Terry does nothing as well as Tommy and isn't as long or tall.

    Tommy Hearns wipes him out.

    Highlight reel knockout.

    It's a total mismatch. Tommy would obliterate Norris 10/10... each time within 3.

    Hearns had a better skillset. There wasn't a single thing in a boxing ring that cherry picking Norris did better than Tommy Hearns. And although Tommy wasn't blessed in the chin department, he's Jake Lamotta in the chin department compared to Norris.

    Non-competitive fight. Hearns has a legit chance of ending it in 1.

    Norris was looking good for about a rd and a half against Jackson, before
    the lights got turned out , and he got ko'ed . Against Hearns he wouldn't
    even get that far. Hearns height,reach and piston like jab would keep Norris
    at the perfect range,and that right hand would follow that jab, and it's good
    night Mr.Norris, possibly 1st rd blow out.

    I like Tommy in this one. Norris had fast hands and threw excellent combinations but Tommy's jab is going to take a lot of that away. Tommy will land that right hand at somepoint and Terry is going down.
