THOMAS HEARNS vs. IRAN BARKLEY 2 (Onsite) 

Description : Here we have an original onsite boxing fight poster for the rematch held on Friday March 20th 1992 at Caesars Palace Las Vegas between old foes Thomas 'Hitman Hearns vs. Iran 'The Blade' Barkley. This time the belt on the line was for Tommy Hearns WBA Light/Heavyweight World Title.

I had the great pleasure to have been fortunate enough to have attended this fight, The fight took place before a crowd of 4,250 at the Caesars Palace Sports Pavilion. what a battle, full on toe 2 toe warfare with both protagonists attempting to end the fight with every bomb thrown.The two fighters fought at close quarters for most of the fight. Occasionally, Hearns would get some punching room, but Barkley was on top of him at every opportunity. Hearns fought with his back to the ropes for much of the fight. In the fourth round, Barkley dropped Hearns with a left hook to the chin, Tommy was up quick & the battle continued. after 12 brutal rounds the judges awarded the contest to the new WBA light/heavyweight champion of the world Iran Barkley by split decision, judge: Jerry Roth 113-114 | judge: Chuck Giampa 113-115 | judge: Lou Tabat 114-113....3 BLIND MICE...Barkley for me dominated the fight & it was the 4th round knockdown that swung it for him...otherwise we would have ended up with another Las Vegas decision...
