Boxing Memories Of Past Years
Boxing has been around for a very long time. During the great history of boxing were some amazing matches. These matches showed the true heart and determination of the human soul. They also show the power and skill that some boxers possess. It seems that these traits can not be found in boxers these days. I have watched quite a few boxing matches lately, and I have yet to see a match that is even close to measuring up to some of these old boxing matches. I am only going to look at one of my favorite boxing memories that I had when I was a kid, but I could discuss many more. The boxing match that I can remember very vividly in my mind was the Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns fight. The fight between Leonard and Hearns was one for the ages. Hearns was a big puncher and caused quite a bit of damage to Leonard’s eye. However Sugar Ray would not quit fighting, and hurt Hearns during the middle rounds. By the thirteenth round Sugar Ray was way behind on all of the judge’s score cards, however the match was about to change. Sugar Ray landed a barrage of punches to Hearns’ head, and he staggered backwards. Sugar Ray kept charging and knocked Hearns through the ropes onto a table outside of the ring. You would think that this would have ended the fight, but Hearns had enough heart to keep fighting. Sugar Ray would eventually finish the fight in the next round when the referee stopped the fight by technical knockout. This match would have lasting effects on both boxers’ careers. Hearns would leave this match and go on to win many world championships, but this fight would always linger in people’s minds as a blemish on his career. Leonard suffered a detached retina in this fight, which caused him to retire for the first time. Leonard would later come back two different times and fight for another ten years. Leonard also went on to ink many endorsement deals after this fight, and Hearns always believed the reason he did not get many deals of his own was because he lost this fight.
