    I'm always awestruck at the hologram of a punch that Hearns connected on Duran with so I decided to do a short review of the punch...

    Love it. Tommy couldn't of hit Duran any harder or caught him any sweeter.

    I mean, Duran was wide open for that punch. Right hand down and left hand just pretty much hanging up there. Wasn't he already hurt prior to this punch? I take nothing away from Hearns punch, but it was like hitting a heavy bag with all you got.

    Hearns could have hurt even a HW with that punch.

    Yep Duran had already been down and was getting lit up by Tommy leading up to that bomb.

    Any man gets dropped from that hit. Love the double jab to the body to set it up. Duran had a granite chin too

    Yeah, Duran was already hurt. Down twice in round 1, getting bombed on in round 2..Hearns landed a big right hand to Duran on the ropes like 10 seconds before the final shot. Which is why I don't consider it a one-shot KO.

    An awesome KO, yes, but not a one-shot KO.

    If Hearns landed that same punch 30 seconds in to Round 1 it would have had the same result!

    As much as I love Marvin, Hagler goes down from that straight right hand too.

    Agreed.

    Better Hearns KO though: Duran or Cuevas?
