By Gerardo Granados: Fighting at welterweight, both fighters agree to have their blood examined at the weight in so none would take PEDS before this fight. Both agreed the purse split, size of the globes, judges, and also it’s permitted the use of xylocaine. And just in case you might forget Roberto Duran was a lightweight and fought Hearns.
In this corner wearing a colorful outfit Floyd Money Mayweather, who calls himself the greatest, he is loud and sometimes says things that would be better not to hear; but, no body can say he is not one of the greatest boxers of this era. He is overall skilled gifted, has great speed and footwork, amazing counter puncher and shall I name him the master of defensive style.
On the other corner wearing yellow trunks Tommy “Hitman” Hearns, unarguably one of the best pound for pound fighters in the history of boxing. There is no need to say anything else because you already know him.
