- Go Here to Download Your Book - www.myboxingcoach.com - Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns, also known as the Motor City Cobra, stands in history as an icon in the sport of boxing. He was involved in some of the most fantastic fights, sharing the ring as one of the '4 Kings' alongside Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard.
Hearns took part on over 160 amateur fights, winning a national Golden Gloves title. In a professional boxing career spanning almost 30 years, he accumulated a record of 67 fights with 61 wins and 48 knockouts. To me he is the finest long range fighter in history. In this video I talk you through my 5 fearsome factors of the Motor City Cobra.
Cheers
Fran

I'm a Hagler guy from the 5 Kings era. I think Sugar Ray gets more credit than he should, and Benitez and Duran don't get enough. Hearns was an animal and deserves all the credit he gets.
Agree on Benitez and Duran. Hagler...enough said👍
Hagler guy here as well!
Um...it was the FOUR kings bruh
@@redre1ated I say 5 because I give Benitez the credit he deserves
My favourite fighter. Discovered him as a boy in the 80s from a relatives large boxing video collection. His focus when he was in his groove was more intense than anyone else I've seen
His fight with Hagler is in my top 3
What an era that was. We got a superfight every month back then.
I just think this was very good assessment on Tomas Herns
His trainer said he made a mistake that night where they let Thomas close fans in and he did to much running on the spot and weakened his legs.
He did look like his legs were not as strong as they could be but I was the way it went.
Great bout both grate fighters
LOVE Tommy Hearns and this video
The most intimidating staredown of any boxer ever, even Duran seemed disarmed by that glare before his demolition by Hearns.
Agreed, 100%. Yes, I think Roberto knew Tommy was just not a fighter his style could beat.
Thank you, coach. Tommy Hearns is my favorite boxer of all time. Being 6"3 170lbs with 80 inch reach people sometimes draw comparisons to me and Tommy in terms of build. Loved your breakdown on the HITMAN! Could you do another Cronk alum Gerald GMAN McClellan?
Thanks Ty - yes, they are some cool physical attributes there! Will give G Mac some thought, incredible competitor and incredible puncher!
If McClellan and Watson hadn't been injured our memories of the 90s middleweight division would've been very different.
(Although McClellan taping dogs mouths shut to use as bait for his fighting dogs suggests he understood the potential consequences of combat)
@@myboxingcoachcan you finito Lopez he is a Mexican boxer
Same 6’3 160 78in reach going up n weight tho
@@monitorcrazy9639I’m 5.11 (3/4) with 78 inch reach. My fingers can almost to inch my knees
I appreciate your outlook on the sweet science because you love it! It shows! Keep them coming coach. The world needs you as much as the fighters you mention. A.J Libeling set the bar for writing about boxing. Who carries that torch today? Keep the desire alive friend. Cant wait for the next
Articulate and incredibly knowledgeable. Hearns style matching with his freakish generics made him one of the most frightening fighters of all time.
great video thanks for the value i love the order of the 5 fearsome factors and how you prioritise them for The Hitman Hearns and describing his style so accurately cheers.
My fav fighter of all time. Thanks for a great recap
Always appreciate both your expertise--and your humility, Fran. From a descendant of hard working Irish stock. Peace.
Great vid again Fran. Cracking era, wonder if we'd ever get that quality and ferocity ever again?
Thanks for show us this tecnics
Lovely video Fran, loved it thank you 🙏
Thanks Jay, glad you liked it👍
One of my favorite fighters.
I'm his fan too .Hearns vs Bivol would be a boxer vs boxer war
Will you consider demonstrating how he threw that short chopping right hand? I think he flipped his elbow up at the moment of impact. I can't tell how much he extended his right arm.
Good suggestion 👍
Got my first fight next Friday any advices coach for me to win also how can I come up with the right combinations to throw mid fight what guard is the best
👊👊👍
I Thank Your Thorough Generosity for sharing Superb Counsel about and Summation of my Hero! God Be With You! I’d pay you for Coaching if I lived close enough! As You are from the UK God Margaret Thatcher, She Is A Hero of a Different Variety!
I think that Hitman in his prime was the only welterweight that could brutally ktfo out of prime Mayweather. Style makes fights folks.
U 100% right
Smal question Mr Sands, what do you do when your opponent feints a lot ? should we switch between slip, pull back, step back, rolls???
Try and take the initiative Bryan, turn the tables; vary the attacks, feint and fire, prepared and unprepared attacks.
@@myboxingcoach I have light sparring on Sunday. Will take this advice and come back to you Mr Sands.
Sublime. My favourite boxer, and "Motor City Cobra" is much better than "Hitman"!!! He should have stuck with it!!
Hi Fran, I see most of boxers have rather small chest muscle compare to street work out or even people who constantly do push up. I am from street work out. Do you thin boxing should do push up ? Or even chin up ? What could these excercise be good in boxing ?
Doing both should be good.
@@someboi4903 if I have alot of time. I am asking incase we dont have much time, what excersise we could get rid of
Throwing punches tires out your front shoulder muscles making it more difficult to do chest exercises that will stimulate hypertrophy. You don't exactly get the most bang for your buck doing exercises like bench press for boxing but things like burpees are great for cardio and explosiveness.
My physique is eerily similar to hearn's except I'm not as shredded.
Like devin haney almost there,,,,!,,But no power,,,love ur boxing coaching.
Cheer's Mate. I know you love coaching but have you ever thought about being a judge. In my opinion the Britt's have the Title when it comes to deciding who won a fight. Especially when it's close. I personally don't always agree with Thier decisions but I respect that they can see things I can't or consider more at once to better come to Honest and True decision. Thanks for the uploads Good Sir.
I.Q. like Lex Luther and Heart like Tin Man
Post. Script.
Thanks for highlighting (Reggie Gutteridge) one of the Men you listen too. I'm always curious who my teachers Respect. Never heard of him but now I have someone else I can study a bit, Thanks.
Thanks Brian, appreciate your kind words. Stiking with coaching for now, but who knows! Some decisions in recent years have been more than a little curious...but I suppose it's always gone on for one reason or another, usually a question of competence or corruption. Thanks again pal.
Hearns would've destroyed Mayweather with that range !
Left hooks all day long !
