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... [yt]TmbW9cukk30[/yt]
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.
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.
