    Is this a different fight at 147, does Benitez get his hand raised?

    I don't see why it would be much different.

    Everybody forgets that Benitez going the distance at 154 had a lot to do with Tommy breaking his hand early on, which is why he basically had to jab his way to the win

    It's no different at 147... Benitez is never beating Tommy... maybe he lucks out again and Hearns busts his hand... that's the only way it goes 15

    I thought Hearns busted his hand late?

    Agree that helpf Benitez, but I am one of a relatively small group who believe the fight was way closer than many saw it - it couldve been a draw to my eyes.

    Those Benitez counters off the feint just not as appreciated as they once were.

    Nobody outboxes Tommy Hearns. NOBODY.
