	:Barkley came barreling out with no respect. With his shaved head, Fu Manchu-style whiskers and eyes squeezed nearly shut in anger, he had the chilling look of a Mongol warrior. Hearns met him casually, gracefully relaxed. Hearns had promised a boxing exhibition, but Barkley's first rush carried the champion back into the ropes. There they stayed, trading fierce body shots, a sniper inviting a knife fighter to a duel in a foxhole. Each man took turns sending volley after volley of hard punches into the other's midsection. In the fourth round, a moment after he had dropped Hearns with a short counter hook over a right to the jaw, Barkley began to bleed from a wound over his left eye. As Hearns, who had gotten up quickly, returned to his corner after the round, [Hearns's strategist, Alex ] Sherer told him, "Stay off the ropes. The man's eye is wide open, you got me?" Still, in the fifth Hearns returned to the ropes. Barkley's attack was relentless, but most of his punches bounced off Hearns's arms. Though not scoring blows, they were the sort of punches that can take a severe toll in later rounds, when the arms that are catching the punches begin to come down, leaving the chin exposed. Sherer again pleaded in the seventh for Hearns to stay away from the ropes, and Hearns tried -- for 30 seconds. Then he went back to where he did not have to use his legs. Across the way, [[Eddie Mustafa Muhammad]], Barkley's trainer, was yelling, "He's dead. His ---- legs are gone." After seven grueling rounds both men had started to run down. In Round 8, Hearns's nose, swollen to twice its normal size, began splashing blood on his trunks. His left cheek was twice the size of the right. Barkley's eyes were swollen, and he was leaking blood from his mouth. More blood flowed in the 11th when Hearns opened a cut on the top of Barkley's head. As the pressure from Barkley eased in the late rounds, Hearns tried to pick up the pace. His hard jab ripped into Barkley's face, and he hammered hook after hook to the body. Barkley left immense openings for Hearns's right hand, but few were thrown. "You got to pump that right hand," Sherer told him quietly between rounds. "Throw it with all your power." But the right hand wasn't there. Meanwhile Barkley was concerned about his own left hand. He had injured it in training, and somewhere in the middle of the fight -- he doesn't know in which round -- he broke it. "Don't ask me when I broke it," he growled after the bout. "I just kept throwing it and throwing it." When the final bell rang, Hearns had his back against the ropes. He slumped back and then walked slowly to his corner. The fight was tough to score. Hearns threw fewer punches than Barkley, but a higher percentage of Hearns's blows scored. Barkley was the aggressor and got the only knockdown.
