    Hearns - Benitez was an upset? Didn't know that one. Know what the odds were on the fight?

    7-5 Benitez. Benitez was massively regarded and thought to have found his niche at 154 after schooling Duran. Many thought Hearns would fight too offensively and Benitez just loved that. They thought stylistically Benitez would be better suited but didn't count on Hearns boxing superbly (allied to a fantastic gameplan) like he did at times vs Leonard. Hearns also hadn't set the world on fire in his post SRL fights to that point but returned to good form here.

    Bearing in mind it's a very minor upset, but an upset none the less.
