In an awesome display of punching power, Thomas Hearns blasted his way to the WBA welterweight title in two one-sided rounds when he dethroned Mexico’s Pipino Cuevas at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit #OnThisDay in 1980. Hearns at 21 years old looked unbeatable with frightening confidence in front of his frenzied home crowd. The vanquished Cuevas summed it up afterwards: “Hearns is too tall and too long to be a welterweight.” Hearn’s is listed as 6ft 1ins, but Emanuel Steward says he is really nearer 6ft 3ins, he had knocked a couple of inches off his height when he turned pro so as not to scare off too many prospective opponents. The fight ended Pipino's four-year reign as WBA champ. His career unravelled after this fight. He lost seven of his next twelve fights and never again fought for a championship. #boxing #BoxingNews #BoxingHistory #CuevasHearns #ThomasHearns (at Joe Louis Arena) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl-Z6n9gj2h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bonukzjxvjj4

In one of the most shocking upsets for years, Bronx underdog Iran Barkley stopped Thomas Hearns in three rounds to win the WBC middleweight title in Las Vegas #OnThisDay in 1988. The punch appeared to come out of nowhere, catching Hearns flush on the chin and sending him down like a puppet whose strings had suddenly been cut. What made the ending even more dramatic was that it came completely against the run of play. “I have no excuse for why I lost this fight,” reflected Hearns. “Iran Barkley was a better man than I was.” “I’ll give retirement serious thought.” An emotional Barkley, at one point breaking down as he paid tribute to former light-middleweight champion Davey Moore who had tragically died three days before. “He was more than a friend – he was more like a brother.” #boxing #BoxingNews #HearnsBarkley #IranBarkley #ThomasHearns (at Las Vegas Hilton Hotel)
