Thomas Hearns vs Hector Camacho

Post by zuru »

15 rds,Welterweights
Camacho is a fast crafty tough southpaw. Hearns as fast or almost as fast. Plus enormous height and reach.As powerful as Hearns hits,I think its possible that Camacho goes the distance in a losing effort.

You are likely correct provided Camacho fights only to last and not to win.

Hearns would stop Camacho. A too bad matchup for Camacho to survive.

Hearns by UD. Camacho was too slick and mobile.

Can't see Camacho winning this.

I can't see too many welterweights beating Hearns to be fair.

Camacho had some of the best handspeed ever seen in a ring, plus he was slick an awkward, but Hearns was quick too, could box brilliantly, had a nasty jab and dynamite in his right hand.

I think this would be similar to the Benitez fight: Hearns by UD.

Camacho had super skills and went the distance with a lot of good fighters. I think this is the exception. The prime Hearns at 147 catches and stops him at some point, probably around 10th-11th after nearly closing his right eye with his jabs

Hearns drops Camacho early and puts him almost entirely on the defensive. Hector uses more movement than usual for the rest of the fight, but is enable to land anything significant. Hearns meanwhile lands more than enough jabs and occasional right hands to take a very wide decision.
