Brown Stops Hearns in 7!!!

Simon Brown (25-0-0-25) took a one sided beating for five and a half rounds before storming back to stop Thomas Hearns (27-1-0-26) in round seven to capture the vacant WBA Welterweight Championship. Brown was coming into the bout with a 5th round KO over Louie Lomeli back in February, while Tommy had stopped Silvano Bertini in eight also in February. As both men squared off in the center of the ring Hearns was the picture of intimidation. When the bell sounded to start the bout Hearns was quick to tag Brown with a jab and straight right hand. Brown would taste Hearn's right hand throughout the first round numerous times. Round two started the same, as Hearns used a sharp jab and wicked straight right hands. Late in the round a Hearns hook dropped Brown for the first time in the fight and his career. Brown was up at the count of three and the bell sounded ending the round before Hearns could follow up. As the second round closed Brown had swelling under the right eye. The third, fourth and fifth were much of the same. Hearns landing incredible shots on the jaw of Brown and Brown still moving forward. Brown landed some shots on the jaw of Hearns but never rattled him. For the first 2:30 of the sixth round it was more of Hearns just teeing off on Brown and Brown pressing forward late in the round Brown launched an uppercut that looked like it would tear Hearns head off and Tommy visited the canvas for the first time in his career. Hearns took the eight count and looked to be on wobbly legs but the bell sounded before Brown could follow up on his hurt opponent. In the seventh Brown came storming out as Hearns still appeared to be on shaky ground. Brown unleashed a series of blows that landed squarely on the jaw of Hearns that held up nicely until 2:42 when a Brown jab was followed by a screaming right hook that Tommy tried to get out of the way of and ducked right into dropped Hearns instantly who was then counted out at 2:52. What a victory for Brown who showed a great heart and an even greater chin. Not many men would have been able to stand up to the shots of Thomas Hearns the way Brown did.

The support bout featured France's Roger Menetrey (24-0-0-21) facing Sweden's Gert Bo Jacobsen (23-1-0-22). Battling for the vacant WBC Welterweight Championship. Jacobsen was coming into the bout with a 7th round TKO over Bernie Terrell to capture the EBU Welterweight Championship., while Menetrey stopped Mike Edney in one round back in January. Jacobsen faced adversity early as the first punch of the fight landed by Menetrey opened a cut under his right eye. Thru four rounds I had the fight scored evenly as both men had there moments. In the fifth round Menetrey started to pull away as we was getting to Jacobsen with some punishing rights and lefts. In the sixth a Menetrey right hand buckled Jacobsen's legs and forced him to go on the defensive. As the round closed Jacobsen's right eye was swelling noticeably. Menetrey picked up where he left off in the seventh as again he was tattooing Jacobsen with brilliant combos. Jacobsen seemed to have a good eighth round as Menetrey seemed to be wearing down. Jacobsen landed some great shots but as he was fatigued himself there wasn't much on the punches. As the ninth round started both men moved inside to wage battle and a Menetrey uppercut caused Jacobsen to slump to the canvas where he was counted out :54 into the round. Great win for Menetrey

The under card featured rising star Donald Curry (18-0-0-15) who gave Gary Jacobs (21-1-1-6) a terrible one sided beating over seven rounds. Jacobs had his hands full early as he had a cut over the right eye and swelling under the right eye. Jacobs would visit the canvas twice once in the fourth and once in the fifth. Jacobs showed tremendous heart as he never stopped fighting but he was just outclassed by Curry who finally stopped Jacobs when Jacobs cut became to aggravated to continue. Both Aaron Davis (3-0-0-0) and Glenwood Brown (3-0-0-2) won four round unanimous decisions over TC"s. This was the first time Brown saw the second round.
