THE EL PASO TIMES. Thurtdav. April 11. ICS Hearns seeks 3rd-round knockout respectively, for those two bouts eras He said he weighed 165 before sparring Tuesday; the middle LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -Thomas Hearns thinks he can knock out Marvelous Marvin Hagler in the third round, but Emanuel Steward, Hearns' manager-trainer, doesn't believe his fichter needs a KO to win.

12-round bout outdoors Monday night at Caesars Palace. "The Good Lord blessed me with ability to make the imposs-ble happen," Hearns said Wednesday. "He's got a right hand," Hagler said, "but you can't worry about the right hand so much that it tightens you up. I know he's going to throw a lot of right hands. I feel I can absorb them." Then the left-handed Hagler, who has a 60-2-2 record noted, Hagier, tne undisputed middleweight champion, was knocked down in the first round of a successful defense against Juan Roldan in Lai Vegas on March 30, 1984, although the rhamninn OR MORE ON A $2.00 WAGER weight limit is 180 pounds.

Steward also said that Hearns was affected psychologically as well as physically by the hand injury. After hurting the hand against Benitez, Hearns broke a knuckle on the right ring finger while sparring with stablemate Milton McCrory, the WBC welterweight champion, In March 1983, At the time, Hearns wondered if he had lost his powerful weapon. But, Steward said, Hearns' successful defense against Luigi Minchillo healed the psychological scars left by the injuries, just a busy fight schedule closed similar wounds opened by his loss to Leonard. Since scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over Minchillo on Feb. 11, 1984, Hearns has knocked out Roberto Duran in the second round Hagler scored a 15-round decision over ing on all three official score-cards when he was stopped in the 14th round.

Hearns also won the super welterweight title by outboxiiig master boxer Wilfred Benitez on Dec. 3, 1982, after dislocating bones in the back of his right hand during the fight. "The fight could very easily go to a decision," Steward said. "After five rounds if I see he isn't hitting Marvin with good punches, he can always go to those great legs of bis. "It is going to be very difficult for Hagler to win a decision because we've got an element in this fight he hasn't had to deal with in a long time movement," Steward said.

Four of Hearns' first six fights after he lost to Leonard went the distance, and some observers felt his power might be dwindling as he moved up in weight. But Steward noted that two of Hearns' four decisions were against physically touch Ernie Singletary, who weighed 161, and Murray Sutherland, who weighed 160. Hearns weighed 155 and 1574, LAST WEEK THESE WINNERS RECEIVED $500.00 OR MORE. JOIN THE WINNERS AT THE JUAREZ RACE TRACK. Dog Racing Wed.

Although Hearns' professional trademark has been the punching power that earned him the nickname "Hit Man," Steward believes he also can outbox Hagler. Hearns scored only eight knockouts in compiling a 155-8 record as an amateur. After being in trouble against Leonard in the sixth and seventh rounds, he turned to boxing and was lead- a slip. It was the only time Hagler has been knocked down in a 64-bout pro career, and he never went down as an amateur. "I think I am the man who can make it happen," said Hearns.
