    Great match-up and a tough fight.

    Hearns 'the Boxer' is the favorite, for me, as long as he is controlling the distance. I think Gavilan was very good at finding the range he needed, as well being able to score with good close-range work. Hearns can't afford to let Gavilan get in close too often, in my opinion.

    So did Duran.

    I’m not saying it’s a given, I’m saying with a puncher of Hearns’ magnitude it’s always possible.
