	In this fight between the shorter scrappy champion, and the extremely tall ~~and extremely~~ long-armed undefeated challenger, it really wasn't much of a contest. Cuevas could never penetrate Hearns' relative force field created by his lightening fast and very long arms. In the first round, Hearns battered Cuevas with both ~~big right and left~~ hands, while also keeping him at bay and measured with his left jab. Cuevas went careening off the ropes several times, but never went down. In the second round it was more of the same, as every attempt by the champion to attack was quickly picked apart by super-quick and accurate punches from the challenger. Pipino's illustrious four year reign as champion came to a sudden and dramatic end when Hearns landed a monstrous right hand to Cuevas' head. Cuevas stayed up for nearly 3 seconds on extremely wobbly legs before ~~succumbing~~ face first into the canvas. He somehow ~~miraculously~~ made it up before the ten count, but Christodoulou waved the bout off when Cuevas's trainer came in to save him. It was one of the most memorable knockouts in boxing history.		In this fight between the shorter, scrappy champion and the extremely tall, long-armed undefeated challenger, much was expected. However, it really wasn't much of a contest. Cuevas could never penetrate Hearns' relative force field, created by his lightening fast hands and very long arms. In the first round, Hearns battered Cuevas with both hands, while also keeping him at bay and measured with his left jab. Cuevas went careening off the ropes several times, but never went down. In the second round, it was more of the same, as every attempt by the champion to attack was quickly picked apart by super-quick and accurate punches from the challenger. Pipino's illustrious four-year reign as champion came to a sudden and dramatic end when Hearns landed a monstrous right hand to Cuevas' head. Cuevas stayed up for nearly two seconds on extremely wobbly legs before Hearns stepped in with another right that sent Cuevas face-first into the canvas. He somehow made it up before the ten count, but referee Christodoulou waved the bout off when Cuevas's trainer came in to save him. It was one of the most memorable knockouts in boxing history.
