Joey Giardello vs Thomas Hearns. Who wins?

Question

15 rounds at middleweight

Answer 1

Tough Guy ~
In my opinion, Joey gets Knocked out cold in less than 5 rounds. Joey was a real tough cookie back in the day, but he lacked the power to hurt and stop Herans. Herans being the much taller of the two would throw his right hand at will and catch Giardello every time he threw it. Joey was notorious for getting hit a lot.
A little inside bit for you, Augie Semeca who use to be Charles Brewer's trainer and one time South Philadelphia Gym owner and I were talking a couple months back at Joe Hands Gym in South Philly about tough fighters from Philly and I brought up Giardello and about two minutes later Joey came walking through the door. He sat down and started talking to Augie and Augie introduced me to him, anyways to make a long story short and without pulling any punches Joey said "I never trained, I'd be out with the boys all of the time, I didn't have time to train, there was too much going on. I was always a tough kid and could handle my own, but I never fully dedicated myself to the sport."
Tommy's workouts with Steward at the Kronk Gym are legendary. I worked out at the gym before and it's always HOT in there no matter what time of the year you're there. Tommy worked the pads with Manny and it would resemble a actual fight. Tommy would hit the bag for a hour straight with only a minute rest between rounds. Milton McCory would often be heard saying "That man aint right, alls he wants to do is train like a crazy man"
This would be the biggest difference in this fight Tommy would be able to go non-stop until he stops Giardello, don't get me wrong here, Joey wouldn't be a push over he'd crack Tommy with some good shots too, but it wouldn't be enough to keep Tommy off of him.

Answer 2

Doesn't matter how hard Hearns trained, he had a tendancy to loose his legs late in fights when he fought middleweights. Giardello was one tough cookie but he was more than that. He had a granite jaw and could box with the best of them. Of course, we will never know, but i think Giardello stops Hearns late as much from Hearns' exhaustion as anyhing else. Giardeello fought and beat full fledged middles that were much stronger than Hearns and punched just as hard or harder. Ex: Henrry Hank, Spider Webb Hurricane Carter etc. and none of them could hurt Giardello. Webb stopped Joey on cuts in one of their fights but Joey won the return.
