Like Father Like Son

Ronald Hearns throws a left hook

His name is Ronald Hearns, heir to the "Hitman" himself Thomas Hearns. And if he is anything like his father, then the world will see another great champion of this era.

Blessed with his father's long limbs and power punch, not much has daunted him in his current light middleweight career. He christened himself "The Choosen One" to step out of his old man's shadow and show the world what he can do.

With a current record of 20-0-0(16KO), its a shame to see not much coverage or big events to his name. That's an impressive record if age didn't matter. The problem is he's 29, because he started late as his father wanted him to pursue a degree first. A boxer with brains? It seems so.

And like father like son, he learned the ropes of boxing fast, pumelling his fellow rookie opponents. At 6'3, he's taller than most light middle weights and a boxer with good reach too. All I can say is watch out for this guy.

Father and son, Thomas and Ronald.
