who wins?
Great match.
Both men retired undefeated in welterweight.
Strengths;
Trinidad; he could box technically and had a monster left hook.
Hearns; He had a right like no welterweight seen since the Barbados Joe Walcott.
I see both men fighting with jabs cautious of each others power, Hearns reach and speed getting the best of the exchanges.
Trinidad was tall at 5'11'', Hearns was huge at 6'1''. Due to Trinidads height and technical prowess i don't see him getting knocked out by Hearns, he could play it safe.
The way to beat Hearns was to quickly lunge and throw combinations after he threw his punches because he tended to leave himself open after throwing a punch. I don't feel Trinidad was fast enough with his hands and feet to do this.
Hearns wins by UD, more 1 sided than his Benitez fight.
Very exciting fight indeed. Both of them are great power punchers and neither of these fighters were natural Welterweights and peaked at Light Middleweight. Still, it wouldn't matter what weight class Trinidad fights the Hitman at because Hearns will simply have his number regardless of which weight class they fight at and Trinidad has never faced a boxer quite like Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns before. Trinidad has an outside chance of knocking Hearns out somewhere in the middle rounds IF he can reach Hearns at close range but unlikely. Hearns would simply use his deadly jabs and straights to keep Trinidad at bay with his long arm reach. Hearns throws the last blow with his straight right at the end of Round 4 and BOOM, Hearns landed that final blow that sends Trinidad down the canvas and Trinidad struggles to get back on his feet.
Hearns by KO in Round 4
Both are very powerful, yes but it Tommy's right hand. That right hand is made from God's something because the power it has is phenomenal. Look at what happened to Duran. Even so, Hearns was the much better boxer. If De La Hoya could outbox him, why can't Hearns. Hearns by UD or stoppage in any round
Hearns managed to carry his power well beyond the welters through the middleweights, light heavyweights and even the cruiserweights. Trinidad's power faltered at the middleweights. I have to go with Hearns whose educated ramrod pole jabs would keep Tito at bay and whose crushing hooks, uppercuts and crosses would spell the Puerto Rican's doom.
This is a toss up styles make fights and hearns style is perfect for Trinidad as it was for Hagler but Hearns advantage is that Trinidad is not a southpaw therefore it's a toss up
Hearns without a doubt... He isn't considered one of the most devastating punchers in the world for no reason ya know :P
Whoever lands first?
NO ONE CARES ABOUT BOXERS THAT USE 2 BOX
this fight would be the beast... Trini and Hearns both tall and big dudes...hit hard and both had suspect chins...someone is getting KO'd fight of the decade deal here.
