Gary Hinton🇺🇲 was game, but Aaron "Hawk" Pryor 🇺🇲 was just too much as he successful defended his IBF jr welterweight title. On my scorecard I had Pryor winning 144-140...9-6 in rounds plus 10-8 14th round knockdown scored by Pryor under the 10 point must system. RIP HAWK....A great HOF fighter.
Pryor won his title KOing a 1000-year old Antonio Cervantes then garnered his fame KOing a natural featherweight past his prime in Alexis Arguello. In Hinton he fought a guy his size and, subsequently, in Bobby Joe Young, who stopped him, he fought a bigger man…
He pwned Alexis in both fights 3d style, one with bottle and one without. Looks like the bottle helped Alexis more, he may have won 2 rounds in tge firstfight. lol I bet you're fan of dat Irish Bum Billy Collins Jr from assault in the ring documentary produced by former kkk members. Fact checking No bottle Billy Collins vs Luis Bum Resto will be normal fight Panama Lewis would've been in Talks of goat trainer Luis resto would have been in Kensington Philly Assault in the ring documentary, would've not been produced Billy Collins Jr may have been alive, may have had decent career found his Gatti, and HBO would've had trilogy
@@LanceBoyle-z2gPryor spent 2 years in rehab for good person😅 Panama Lewis went to jail for Good person. Don't feel a shame to defend this kind of people but life is a b.. Pryor didn't go nowhere why you have to pay for your consequences in Life 😭
Thanks for uploading. This fight reasonably demonstrates that Pryor was an exciting fighter but wide open, technically limited and too small for the power and/or technical prowess of the Leonards, Hearns, Durans and Benitez of that era. Not sure why Pryor fans ignore the context of the times and who these other fighters were in the ring in that era and beyond to simply claim and even make videos to support the notion that Leonard, in particular, (the one who beat a peak Hearns, Benitez, Kalule and still world champion quality Duran plus years later a Marvin Hagler who was undisputed and undefeated in 11 years, and had beaten Duran, Hearns and Mugabe in the previous 3 years) was _afraid_ of Pryor. IMHO Leonard stops Pryor before the end of what would be a scheduled 15 rounds and without taking anything like the punishment he took against Duran (first fight) and Hearns. Amateur match-ups or sparring do not really determine the outcome between the same opponents in the pros on fight night e.g, Tillman beat Tyson twice in the amateurs.

Your comment makes all the sense in the world and is extremely knowledgeable but the Pryor before the layoffs gives Leonard, Duran, and Hearns holy hell. It's very possible Leonard is the only guy who comes away with a win. Pryor threw and landed many many punches. He could have worn all 3 greats out with the volume. Bites that we never got a chance to see any of those bouts. Salute 🫡
@@misteriosyrarezas5253thank you, Pryor fans get a little unrealistic when discussing Pryor. He could barely handle a war torn Super Featherweight Arguello, who also struggled with addiction and injuries. Roughly 50-75% of the boxers of that time struggled with and/or used drugs including Leonard. So that's no excuse for Pryor. Pryor without shop warn Arguello is possibly most overrated fighter in the history. Pryor was offered a fight with Leonard and Duran multiple times before he fought Arguello.
This Fight shows how and why Leonard, Benitez and other greats would have easily beaten Pryor, Duran & Hearns would KO him and Leonard & Benitez would win UD or Leonard may TKO Him.
Rspene smit, thanks for your comment....for although The Hawk was truly a great boxer....he was not a super great or legendary boxer like Duran, Hearns, Benetiz and Leonard.....for as my 600 vintage world championship title fights from the golden age of boxing (1964 - 1995) that I am posting on my webpage at www.imasportsphile.com .....proves out the fact that like Pryor, there are many great to outstanding boxers from this awesome era of boxing that will be overshadowed and even forgotten as time passes on.
Pryor didn't look that good in this fight, but all the fighters you named had off nights as well. The 1982 Pryor could give anyone a tough fight and probably beat the fighters you named.
@@charlespayne5965Pryor rejected to fight both Leonard and Duran before he went life and death with a blown up Super Featherweight Arguello. Please stop the delusion.
Alexis Arquello the greatest super feather weight of the century
After the second Arguello fight, Pryor's career just went downhill.
After the first fight because of Pryor ' retina and drugs
And that bottle Panama Lewis calls the mix
@@DerrickJones-f4x You can mixed water with water for sure 😁
Two big paydays against Arguello didn't help.a cocaine addiction
The guilt trip eating him up

Aaron Pryor is a delight to watch. His fights are action and more action.
@@jamesmilet302 magic bottle with cocaine
U can see the decline in Pryor in this fight. Was never the same fighter after the layoff, drugs and legal problems.
This fight you can see the decrease in his whole game you could tell he was burnt out from living it up!
Excuses
Pryor not the same fighter here as he had been maybe 3 years ago. The drugs were starting to take their toll.

@@franciscosantoni8126 You nailed it 🔥
Pryor missing Panama and his bottle

Fact checking
No bottle
Billy Collins vs Luis Bum Resto will be normal fight
Panama Lewis would've been in Talks of goat trainer
Luis resto would have been in Kensington Philly
Assault in the ring documentary, would've not been produced
Billy Collins Jr may have been alive, may have had decent career found his Gatti, and HBO would've had trilogy

@@apex_prowler95 he world has to face bigger opponents welterweights and jr middleweights. Not a smaller lightweight in Arguello

Leonard would be the only on that would get beat by Pryor..styles make fights@@apex_prowler95
Pryor all drug and boozed out here
Pretty much remember watching this and you could see he was way burnt out at this point
146 139. That judge should've been banned from boxing. Pryor slightly won only because of the knock down
This Fight shows how and why Leonard, Benitez and other greats would have easily beaten Pryor, Duran & Hearns would KO him and Leonard & Benitez would win UD or Leonard may TKO Him.

Thenwhy didn't they fight him? The so called greats

With all due respect to Pryor, other than Duran those others were much bigger... remember Pryor was a small jr Welter..was really a lightweight
9-6 Hinton 143-141
That’s the problem with who is Gary Hinton other than Arguello he never faught anyone should have moved up Jr welterweight was garbage back then
140-147 is a big jump
@ don’t think he could have beaten Hearns Leonard or Duran
Stop showing the drugs cheat fights
