Julian Jackson vs Thomas Tate

[@viviandarkbloom100]

This is an underrated all-action fight.

[@henchlol1247]

Like all of julians fights

[@ExperienceEric]

Tate was a well schooled fighter and smooth boxer with good movement and power. This as an impressive showing against a legendary KO artist like Jackson.

[@that1h546]

What a fantastic fight. Very underrated. These hidden gems are what I love about boxing

[@alanwallace4413]

One of the best fights I've ever seen. Awesome heart out of both of them.

[@ericgeorge5483]

What a chin and what a brave performance from Thomas Tate.

[@ExperienceEric]

He was smart to go down and take the 8 count when hit. Jackson was a killer finisher. His strategy was perfect, just take a knee and get Jackson off of you long enough to get it together. Julian always finished guys off within seconds of landing a big blow, when you get hit hard just take a knee before he lands the finisher. Then go back to boxing and moving. Tate had the chin, the speed and the boxing skill to survive the early rounds and make it a fight. He really made a name for himself here.

[@raulcastro3277]

This a great fight. Should be on every boxing fans list to watch.

[@cedericocosantorini8013]

Excellent fight !!!! Never knew about it until now. Thanks a lot !!!

[@Toracube]

Jackson, for his weight class, seems to have the hardest punch in boxing. He throws everything into them.

[@bigred3096]

RESPECT!!! One of the all time best bouts in WBC. Way to go Champ! Way to go Mr. Tate!

[@H.K.5]

Julian Jackson was 44-1 and with 42 KO's coming into this fight. One of the best records I've ever seen.

[@shaunmaguire6912]

ruben olivares was 61-0-1 (57 KOs) at one point

[@H.K.5]

That's a great record. Another great record is Edwin Valero, 27-0 (27 KO's). Or Jimmy Wilde going 93-0 before losing.

[@shaunmaguire6912]

Hamza Khaliq valero was a scary dude shame he was a headcase would av love to see him fight pacman

[@joeywashington7973]

Tate beat that bum No chin Jackson!!! THAT WAS DON KING KILLING THE BOXIING GAME BEFORE YOUR EYES!! (TRICKERY) SMH!!!

[@joeywashington7973]

Jackson fought bums....until Tate , Gerarld McClellan. etc

[@vincentestone5764]

ICE T. ! Thomas Tate came in with THE RIGHT ATTITUDE & left it ALL in the ring. I'm NOT One for morals victories but TATE took it distance against a Proven Champ. Apollo vs Rocky. The Hawk vs Ice T.

[@serenityinside1]

VERY good fight - recommended.

I fought Frank Tate at 1984 nationals

Jackson. Era una bestia pegada demoledora..en su tiempo mucha calidad de boxeadores

[@davontetate5913]

my uncle Thomas Tate

[@youssoufmoussa3874]

Man, I have nothing but admiration for your uncle.

[@davontetate5913]

thanks man , my father his oldest brother is the reason why him and my other uncle Frank Tate became boxers. I could have carried the torch but baseball was my sport .

[@youssoufmoussa3874]

Wow.

[@curtisneilson5829]

Davonte Tate he was best at middleweight

[@MrDavecr7]

My gym mates used to call me Frank Tate when I used to box back in the day saying I looked like him.

[@petergouldbourn2312]

What a great fight. Good video. 🇬🇧

[@braderwin9620]

I was expecting Richard Steele to step in and stop the fight with :03 seconds left and give the fight to Tate. Absolutely the worst POS referee in boxing history.

[@tricknolte3222]

I agree lol.

[@TheBankofJosh]

BRO have you seen the condition of Meldrick Taylor? He should've retired after that fight

[@undeadpresident]

What an incredible fight

[@Mattyic313]

Of all guys for Julian not to flatline it’s this guy

[@andyaim4764]

Tate seems to have 1 forward gear and 15 reverse gears 😂

[@ExperienceEric]

You need all 15 against Jackson. lol

[@ericjenkins9072]

A classic rumble.🥊🥊

[@brownbomberjoelouis5305]

Julian jackson, the man hits so hard his boxing skills go unnoticed. Here he outpoints world class boxer Thomas Tate.

[@steepdeath8466]

many people thought he was a slugger who only had power. he had true talent as we see in many of his fights like this one

[@sugaman01]

Jackson fought southpaw to confuse boxers sometimes

[@geoffn54]

Not many Jackson fights went the distance and you can see Julian is past his best here. McClellan took advantage the next year, and it's difficult to believe Jackson won the world title again 3 years later. Fighting southpaw was just the exhaustion showing I reckon...

[@georgegreig8054]

McLellan was to big for Jackson.

[@papigreco532]

@@georgegreig8054 McClellan was a monster

[@geoffn54]

@@georgegreig8054 Don't agree George. McClellan was at the top of his game. He was being compared to Mike Tyson! Jackson had been world champion for 6 years already, and was past his best. And McClellan was much bigger than Benn and look how that ended up!

[@georgegreig8054]

@@geoffn54 I think the result would be the same anytime Jackson and McLellan fought. Benn was never at light-middleweight. He was a proper middleweight that made the jump up to Super-middleweight. I thought McLellan would murder Benn at the time but in retrospect I think McLellan was over-hyped. If you look at his Boxrec there isn't many decent opponents. He fought Mugabe but Mugabe was done by then.

[@spiderreed350]

I disagree, Jackson was still very good here at 31.

[@AngelGonzalez-de3nn]

This is one of the most under-rated classical fights of all-time! ... First time viewing these legends. I never knew that, Frank Tate, was this good. Roy Jones, beat him single-handedLy!

[@teacheng3795]

Never mind Frank Tate, this was Jackson fighting THOMAS TATE, a completely different guy!

[@sebulonjohannes4628]

thomas tate you are a really boxer i never expect what you have done

great fight

[@martykirschner8418]

The judges must have been watching another fight

[@rockadoodoo]

Unbelievable!

[@sagacioussage899]

What dance is that guy doing. Is he trying to mesmerize Jackson. Work those sholders.

[@cyrillayman166]

What a difference it can make going up just 6 pounds in weight.Jackson with out question is thee hardest 154 pound puncher of all time & P4P right up there with Hearns.As soon as he moved out of 154 & up to 160 he still had power how ever when he fought the big middle weights like Gerald McClellan his punching didn't help.

[@Crussman499]

It did help. G Man might have won those two fights, but Jackson scrambled Gerald's brains.

[@cyrillayman166]

@@Crussman499 I agree.G man blinking his eye's started in his second fight with Jackson & when he got hit in 4th round by Benn his Blinking his eye's started up again & that should have been a red flag to the ring doctor,ref & his trainer that something was wrong.I always believed had he kept Steward as his trainer Steward would have picked up on it & stopped the fight. There is no question that Hearns & Jackson were one punch knock out artist but both seem to tire & lose when the person they are fighting are able to take their best shots.I think Hearns was the better of the 2 as Hearns with out question fought the better opponents & had better boxing skills.Jackson had poor management threw out his career.

[@Crussman499]

@@cyrillayman166 spot on. Plus Hearns being the bigger lankier man allowed him to use his gifts more. Imagine if Terry Norris stuck to just boxing. Could have been up there with RJJ.

[@cyrillayman166]

@@Crussman499 That doesn't make any sense what so ever.What if Norris stuck to just boxing?He would be right up there with RJJ.Norris wouldn't have the skills roy Jones did in his wildest dreams.Jones was born with quick reflexes it is not something you can learn to do,just like punching power it is a gift something you are born with.

[@Crussman499]

@@cyrillayman166 he was literally a smaller version of RJJ. Norris fell in love with his power and didn't stick with the boxing. He had it all but lowered himself to brawling. But for all time, Jones is much higher up. And if he had stayed at Middleweight, he would've had a much longer career.
