Amateur fights & sparring sessions.

[and the NEW]

I think this one would have ended differently as pros.

I was thinking about this fight in the pros recently after watching the Argeullo vs Pryor 1st fight again. Pryor was 3 years older, so he would have naturally had the edge back when they fought in the amateurs, particularly given Hearns was a tall lanky kid who was still growing into his frame.

Would have been an absolute cracker in the pros! 2 of boxings pure Royalty.
