Julian Jackson vs Terry Norris

[@SuperMurray2009]

That was literally the best display of boxing I've ever seen from someone who was stopped in the second round.

[@javierlaflare4216]

My thoughts exactly

[@williamsmith1803]

Norris ended up being perhaps the most dominant super-welterweight in history. He was destroying everyone in front of him.

[@popdog75]

Terry showed a shaky chin throughout his career,very sad that he ended up suffering badly from pd syndrome,he had electrifying hand speed!

[@sherrillraymond7595]

For real

[@jaimemoreno3998]

Terry Norris was an excellent fighter, he had everything, all the skills but Jackson had one, if not the hardest punching power in the history of boxing...

[@NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

The fact that terry even recovered enough to get up is amazing in itself

[@nikolaivista920]

When I was I kid, I used to call Julian Jackson hands of steel! But he did love the "Hawk" moniker! I remember at one point in his career, Julian Jackson was 29-0 with 27 KOs!!! Flipping crazy!! And after losing to McCallum, Jackson went on a 17 win streak with 16 KOs!! His record stood at 46-1 with 43 KO's!! Just amazing during his prime!

[@BruceinFalkirk]

+sizzla88 - one punch doesn't do that much damage or at least not in this case. Norris not only fought on but won several world titles after this match. Norris' excessive sparring will have caused him damage though. It's not unlike Mike Quarry, a man knocked out in spectacular fashion by one punch from Bob Foster. He was damaged by years of sparring with his bigger, stronger brother.

[@ExperienceEric]

Terry Norris was a great fighter when he used his boxing skills and combinations. He could move and stay out of range but still land blistering combinations. He was a machine with explosive speed and power He would get in trouble against big punchers when he got caught against the ropes or stood in front of them going toe to toe. He was so skilled offensively and such a great puncher that his ego would get the best of him at moments. He would land several combinations, stun his opponent, then stop moving and start head hunting. Jackson was a murderous puncher, one of the very hardest ever. Julian had a great career, but a lot of fighters were scared to fight him at his peak. It held him back a little despite the multiple world titles in multiple divisions..

[@Johnjackson-zj7sp]

exactly,three time world champion in the light-middleweight(superwelterweight division)!!!

[@bobbythespaceghost51]

Initially I was against Norris because he beat Sugar Ray Leonard soundly, but I absolutely appreciate skill set. Dude was offensively gifted.

[@donwilsonsr9797]

I agree with your commentary of Terry Norris. In that time of boxing greats ( which i dont think we will see anything remotely close to the quality of boxers and power punchers from the 80s and 90s) Norris was a brilliant boxer. Unfortunately, in this fight, he made a terrible mistake when he got against the ropes, and got knocked out. You really are a boxing fan. The art of the sport has terribly gone down. Now we have a wild swinging, no boxing skills in Wilder, a average boxer in tyson fury, and Joshua? Devontay Davis hasnt really been tested yet in my opinion. I wonder what he would have looked like against the likes of sweet p pernell whitaker, felix trinidad, and list of other greats in that weight class. I really don't watch boxing anymore all like that (mostly you tube videos of fights these days) again due to the lack of quality boxers.

[@juancarlosbelboder2534]

Terry was one of the greats in the 90s. It was an exiting era. Terry norris had the most beautiful right hand ever the way he threw it was a thing of beauty. Watch his fight vs mugabi. Anyway i see julian all the time here in st thomas he is doing great. Very very nice gentleman

Prime Norris would've given prime Jackson brain damage, 7 of 10 fights; regardless, both would bring a great cataclysm to the modern super-welterweight division. Who's going to put Norris to sleep? Charlo? Jamie? Vargas? Hurd? Williams? lol.

Damn. I thought Norris started the fight very well, super crisp. I did want to see his hands up a little more, a better guard in transition in and out of an exchange etc. The key here starts at 1:50 of the 2nd round, just after Norris escaped the corner and both fighters square-up top center of the ring by the ropes, Jackson on the attack... a few seconds later they move to the center of the ring, Jackson unleashes bombs: take note of the right uppercut Jackson throws. I'm sure this punch was landed because Norris' head snaps up plus you can hear it. That was a nasty punch that hurt Norris more than he showed it. Fantastic audio, I hear the gloves making contact as well as some grunts and groans. Seems pretty obvious Jackson is a hard hitter.

[@christopherpeterson199]

I know, you watch this fight and it's like, no Terry don't let him push you to the ropes there's not enough room to escape his power shots when that happens and sure enough, BANG! down goes Terry.

[@crawlFace]

Christopher Peterson I know, and totally heartbreaking story because it's easy to see the passion Norris has for boxing. I don't think he was an evil intent kind of fighter; I think he just really wanted to be one of the best. You said it, all these years later it does still hurt. Even the crowd atmosphere was intense, not just wild cheering. This does feel like the kind of fight that would haunt a boxer for a while or for the rest of their lives, especially in the sense that before the fighters got a chance to settle in it was just over in the blink of an eye. True, he officially got caught on the ropes. Got a lot of ghosts on them ropes, know what I mean lol.

[@christopherpeterson199]

Yeah I saw a short profile of Terry Norris since boxing told him no more, I think the profile was like six years ago but he and his wife are doing some boxing-exercise hybrid training for people and he seems like a really nice guy. Kinda sucks though because you can definitely see he's got dementia pugilistica in a fairly advanced state. That's the worst, there's a documentary called "After the Last Round" which goes over boxers who've had brain injuries or dementia since their careers ended. It doesn't involve Terry Norris or Gerald McClellan or Michael Watson but it's a really good documentary, totally worth a look.

+Pablo Yáñez Batarce maybe in this one but he's made the worst calls like when Soto was beating Lorenzo and he disqualified Soto for just throwing a punch that didn't even touched Lorenzo while on a knee,and much more

[@pyanezb]

+ruben santos Dude, we actually agree. I'm saying the same two things in a different order.

[@cherylnembhard6330]

Pablo Yáñez Batarce Yeah, even a broken clock is right twice a day. 😀

[@uncletony6210]

Dan Dierdorf and Alex Wallau also called JC Chavez v. Taylor for ABC. Still haven't seen that telecast posted on youtube.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

To steal from Mark Jackson at 11:34..."Hand down, man down!"

[@coolb8545]

Pretty much

[@mikedavies1217]

Jackson was one of the hardest punchers of all time and avoided like the plague by most of the top fighters of the day, but could be vulnerable to as seen in his losses to Mcallum and Mclellan

[@highgreen6452]

Two nice guys out of the ring But two absolute beasts inside it

[@robertshaefer7760]

Poor Terry, to be knocked out but still standing to take two more brutal shots! Damn!!!

[@BB-th3pg]

Norris is a great boxer but it was only a matter of time before that A bomb was going to land.

[@coolb8545]

He gets too relaxed sometimes and loses focus smh..he decided to lean on the ropes and he dropped that left for a split second and it was a wrap

[@RooseCochran]

That was an H Bomb right there.

[@jasonspringer2983]

Norris had an incredible round and a half.

[@JavMacHer]

4:57 crazy to think that Abel Sanchez would change into Gennady Golovkin... weird

[@paullav6651]

A few fighters out boxed Julian pretty comfortably at times, but that amazing power came to the rescue, against Terry and even more so against Herol Graham, i don't think i have seen before or after such one punch hitting power, mightn't be classed as an all time great by many, but number one in history for pound for pound power in his prime in my opinion

[@garrisonthad]

Julian Jackson is P4P the hardest puncher in boxing history. He knocked guys out cold. You could count to 100 on some of his one punch knockouts. Watch the way he knocks out Wayne Powell and Herol Graham...both of whom he knocked out while off balance.

[@DIRTKNAPFX]

Could not agree more. When he planted his feet and connected, you went to sleep.

[@danieldelavera9212]

Gerald McClellan was a harder puncher... career ended with 31 wins 29 KO's. one of his KO victims was Julian Jackson (twice).

[@H.K.5]

+Daniel De La Vega (2hoodz) I think John Mugabi was one of the hardest punching 160 lb fighters as well. He was 26-0 with 26 knockouts before his first loss and was 38-3 with 38 knockouts before the G-Man destroyed him. But yeah, G-Man hit harder then Jackson.

[@danieldelavera9212]

Hamza Khaliq true...

[@PopePlatinumBeats]

till he ran into Gerald mcCellan

[@wbamitch]

Norris was looking so good.

[@PunkSlapper123]

Norris was very young here. I don't think he was ready for Jackson's power. Most fighters weren't.

[@theshield8744]

Punk Slapper, I ve seen Julian Jsckson KO a lot of Fighters & they all tlk abouthow hard He hits.in other words nobody could withstand the power from His punches, just take a look on You tube a the His Victims that He KOed.

[@coolb8545]

Definitely wasnt ready he was just a young kid fighting a grown grown man

[@JohnLincolnHawk]

More unbelievable is Terry actually got up!

[@juancarlosbelboder2534]

Terry was one of my favorites fighters of the 90s. We had more skills than julian. But he just got careless and he got tagged

[@JohnDoe-wo1jd]

wow, what a split second turn around. never seen a fight change that fast to a knockout. I've always believed a short hard punch with your feet flat and knees bent for leverage to have more power than a long lunging punch on your toes or completely off the canvas. well Norris did come back to become a fine fighter. he was only 21 at this time

[@eddielester3589]

Pound for Pound...yes...Other fighters learned to punch through technique...Julian did not need to throw combinations to score kos.He just waited for the opening and all it took is the one shot.

[@Tumslover27]

Julian Jackson was like a video game character you put all of your xp points into power and none into the chin. Either guy could have been knocked out in this fight but it was Jackson who struck first.

[@depaola63]

@ 15:55..I love that "JJ" says I believe in The Lord Jesus Christ! Always a WINNER! He was a great KO' Artist!

[@grudeman]

Terry has fuckin fight night handspeed unbelievable what a beautiful fighter

[@masterjedi6424]

11:39 Smelling Salt woke Norris up.

[@alextorres1726]

Looks like it

[@gullybop1695]

Damn @11:34 JJ lowered the BOOM!! Ouch!!!! Salute Terry Norris, one of my favorite all time boxers.

[@tomj4184]

One of the greatest punchers of all time and a true class act!

[@tehonlygod]

11:25 JJs punches sounded so brutal like a bat hitting a softball

[@BruceinFalkirk]

Norris didn't see the punch coming. I didn't see it, to be honest. He was a very good boxer and quite a big puncher but Jackson could beat anyone who didn't have a legendary chin, to be honest. Mike McCallum and Gerald McClellan come into that category.

[@BruceinFalkirk]

George Foreman - Who ever had McClellan on the deck, other than Nigel Benn? The G-Man took many thunderous shots to the head in his final bout and stayed on his feet until he went down on his knees in agony. He had an absolutely world class chin.

[@BruceinFalkirk]

George Foreman Jackson did need to have him on the deck. Did you read my original comment? Also, McClellan himself said making the weight was absolute hell. He was training and fighting while dehydrated and that is extremely dangerous for any fighter.

[@BruceinFalkirk]

George Foreman We're done. Further comments by you will go straight to my deleted file.

[@franciscorodriguez3135]

BruceinFalkirk Terry Norris made on CRITICAL MISTAKE when he was on the ropes.....he was too squared up and didn't tuck in that chin to better absorb the punch.....but he just had a bad chin though.......Troy Waters almost had him out and Waters wasn't a kayo artist

[@BruceinFalkirk]

Francisco Rodriguez Indeed. Norris did not have much of a chin, to be honest.

[@sinusbradycardia]

Jackson was a specimen. I also would like to point out that contrary to popular belief, I believe the body shots that Jackson started landing in the 2nd round had an effect on Norris. Jackson also started closing the distance and being able to better deal with Norris' speed. I also believe that Norris could have and should have competed at welterweight. Terry was a small jr. welterweight. Remember Norris came in at 149lbs when he fought Taylor. I had a chance to talk to Jackson, only for a minute, after his a last fight. A lost to former lightweight contender Tony Jones on May 24th 1998. Jackson said that if he got ko'ed out by a former lightweight, who wasn't a puncher at that weight, it was time to quit. To my surprise, Jackson was smaller than I thought he'd be. He was at best 5'9". I don't know why fighters seem to be listed taller than they really are. Roy Jones was listed at 5'11" and even 6'. He was no more than 5'10". I'm 6'1" and I towered over Jones. Tommy Hearns, however, was one fighter that I met that I had to look up to. Hearns is listed at 6'1". I would say at least 6'2". His shoulder height seemed to be a few inches higher than mine. Hearns', unlike Mike Tyson, head doesn't contribute to his height.

[@garrison968]

Jackson was one of the greatest punchers in that division in history.

[@geoffn54]

+garrison968 Of any division Garrison.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

1:13...so fuckin' savage...he pointed Drayton to the canvas lmao. Damn.

[@IanBillen]

J. Jackson was easily the hardest hitting Junior Middleweight of his day. The only one that was a better puncher than him within 20 years of his time was Thomas Hearns. I don't think anyone before or since had the flat out KO crushing power of Tommy Hearns. The guy hit like a mac truck and if you were on the long end of his right hand it was good night Charlie. Just one dude who was tall, long armed but could crack like no other before or since... and everyone knew it! J. Jackson was a nice second place...but still not quite the cracking power of Tommy Hearns when he extended his punches.

[@MrBigraw]

Jackson hit harder than Hearns.Power in both hands.Jackson is one of the hardest hitting boxers in boxing history.

[@PrinceZebulun1]

Gotta give you a thumbs-up that. However he hit Marvelous Marvin Hagler and got that hand broken... Other than that, it WAS "Good NIGHT."

[@IanBillen]

MrBigraw Well we can disagree on that. Jackson was one heck of a puncher... but to be on the end of the TM right hand ..you stood no chance. Mr. Hagler knew that goin in. Hagler would of been stopped on cuts from the outside if he would of boxed Hearns. Hagler knew to take Hearns out you must go at him and keep "inside"... (even then you were askin for it. Hearn has uppercuts and hook that would take you out too...) but the jab would slice you and the right would end you. Hagler knew he could take Hearns if he fought him in the respect that he did... and he certainly did take him in ..well.. "The War". Fellas.. we can all agree on this...: "Round 1"!! nuff said ha.

[@040yeah]

The G man Mcclellan was bigger puncher than both of them, Gerald knocked Julian Jackson the fuck out twice

[@gatormark]

Jackson hit harder than Hearns (My fav boxer). No question.

[@Marcin-yq6vy]

God Bless both fighters

[@sychophantt]

What was Julian's day of weight?

[@sugaman01]

+sychophantt Julian's weight of that fight was 153lbs. He never had a problem making weight as a junior middleweight.

[@davidodoms2812]

+sychophantt He looked a lot bigger than Norris!

[@Powerule23]

+sychophantt He looked north of 160.

[@adammammana367]

His weight after the weight in night of fight. Un known he doesn't look like he puts on a lot of weight after a weight in. At the highest 168

[@thelordmemnoch]

The funny thing about it is that Norris had a weak chin, yet he was one of the few knockout victims that was able to even stand up before the count of ten. Incredible guts by Norris, but he had no chance.

[@SlayersGaming]

Dude I wish I could have a flat top fro haircut like the hawk. Id be swaggin.

I don't think Terry's chin was ever the same after this fight.

[@sugaman01]

Hamza Khaliq who’s chin would?

[@H.K.5]

@@sugaman01 True, that combo would shatter any fighter's chin including some heavyweights.

[@sugaman01]

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

He was knocked out with the first right even though he kept standing

[@coolb8545]

Yep..the 2nd punch kept him from falling lol
