AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Thomas Hearns stopped Shannon Landberg midway through the 10th and final round Saturday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The 47-year-old Hearns (61-5-1) never knocked down the 40-year-old Landberg (58-11), but referee Dale Grable ended the fight at 1:35 of the 10th with Landberg staggering around the ring in exhaustion.
Hearns struggled to find a rhythm in the early rounds, getting beaten to the punch by Landberg. Hearns rallied late in the fourth round, hurting Landberg with a right, but couldn't summon his old finishing skills.
Hearns, who led 89-82 on all three cards after nine rounds, finished stronger than Landberg, landing numerous clean shots in the eighth and ninth.
