I think Hearns knocks Griffith out with a whistling right hand.

Tommy by decision, a fighter like Griffith he would box against and that would make things really tough on Emile.

I think Hearns is plenty capable of knocking Griffith out. He'd do best to pick his spots from the outside and wait for the opportunity to present itself. If he tries to brawl he could get caught up and man-handled on the inside. If he boxes Griffith won't be able to keep pace, and may eventually fold.

Agreed. Griffith was a hard guy to put away and Hearns would know that going in.
