Thomas Hearns vs. Iran Barkley II, billed as Bombs Away, was a professional boxing match contested on March 20, 1992, for the WBA light heavyweight title.
[1] In June 1991, Thomas Hearns had upset the previously undefeated Virgil Hill to capture the WBA light heavyweight title, giving the 32-year-old Hearns his sixth and final world title.
[2] For his next fight, Hearns had initially planned to move up to the cruiserweight division to challenge then-WBA cruiserweight champion Bobby Czyz in an effort to become the first fighter to win world titles in six different weight divisions.
[3] Barkley, who had struggled after his victory over Hearns, was just coming off a big victory over Darrin Van Horn that saw him knock out Van Horn in the second round to capture the IBF super middleweight title.
Though Hearns quickly got back up, Barkley gained an additional point.
