After a five-year layoff, 46-year-old ring legend Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, 60-5-1 (47), returned to the ring and engaged in a much-too-tough comeback bout versus limited journeyman John Long, 19-7-1 (10,), Saturday night at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Hearns was staggered in the first and absorbed an alarming number of solid shots, however, his still world-class power eventually took over. He dropped Long once in the sixth round and made him quit for good after the eighth. Hearns has lost much of his vaunted handspeed and seemed to have trouble pulling the trigger, especially early, but still had enough to overcome the crude attacks of his opponent. After the fight, Hearns told the crowd "This is just the start, I plan to keep fighting a long time." Much more to come...
