As a lover of the sport and someone who doesn't like people getting seriously hurt, I'm grateful that fights are now max 12 rounds. Seeing even the victor basically collapse to the floor from exhaustion and all that beating for so many rounds is really scary.

[@joshg.6315]

Mike straight devoured opponents in his early days. His speed and power was unreal.

[@colderbeer]

And so many of those opponents were straight out BUMS.

[@robbielong2884]

Probably is he didn’t fight enough greats . Can’t name 3 top prime Great he beat .

6:38 - That was a night where two men's career forever took a change of paths. The 1976 Olympic bronze medalist John Tate was at the time a promising WBA world champion who had his career right infront of him and a possible unification match with Lineal/WBC champion Larry Holmes. However, Mike "Hercules" Weaver had that night other plans. A gifted athlete with power, but mentally very uneven in his dedication to win - in other words had lost many career fights he could have won if he wanted it more. But that night he rode out the storm and stoped the big favourite to become an underdog world heavyweight champion. For Tate, he would never again reach back to his promising career days as he lost a lot of courage, devotion and heart for his career. Later on he would ballon up a lot in weight and become an alcoholist. The loss ruined him.

[@mongoslade277]

No 1980 summer olympics for the 🇺🇸. They boycotted. Tate got the bronze in 1976

[@WarioSaysSo]

@@mongoslade277 Ah that is fully correct. I was in a hurry and slipped on OG year.

[@anonygent]

The Tate/Weaver fight was the most interesting, since Weaver seemed likely to lose on decision but turned it around with a knockout.

[@mongoslade277]

Mike Weaver lost Every round of that fight. He caught Tate in the 11th or the 13th but that was one punch. Tate got knocked out with 50 seconds left in the fight!! 50 seconds & he was scheduled to fight Ali in the winter of 1980

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

Spinks lost against Tyson the second the fight contract was signed. To this day I've never seen a fighter look that scared and that resigned to his fate before a fight. Not that I blame him Tyson was a beast.

[@primigenius623]

As my dad said, Spinks was just making a payday LOL

[@ralphsanchico2452]

I like M Spinks! But I knew this was going to be his first ‘L

[@mikeplumer7687]

He was a blown up cruiserweight

[@E.Carrillo]

You could see it on his face. He was a dead man walking.

[@paulbellingham3948]

Have you never watched his frank Bruno fight, Bruno crossed himself so many times, he was terrified, don’t blame him,and he was quite good

The Tate/Weaver fight was NOT 1976 it was 1980 I know! I saw the fight while stationed in Ft Belvior in one of the dorm rooms. Shocked the heck out of all of us.

[@mongoslade277]

Keith Jackson with the great call!!! It was muted in this video

[@Soggyfrenchfry45]

That first fight I think the guy that won let his opponent punch himself out. Great strategy

[@kevdimo6459]

That’s what I reckon! You can do more damage to an opponent over five rounds, than in one or two while punching yourself out. Take your time and spread the hurt out and keep your fitness levels up.

[@acsmith818]

Wlodarczyk was a very intelligent fighter. His fights with Cunningham and Drozd are intriguing chess matches.

[@JuanBuenoJeanBien]

It's a great strategy if you can survive those hard shots, which he did. Like Ali vs Foreman, if you can take him into the deep water you can drown him.

[@markjgaletti57]

Fight was rigged the bad acting gave it away

[@narayansivajiramos5763]

It's Tyson vs Spinks for me.

Weavers comeback against Tate will always be my favorite. . Sat at home and watched it with my father

[@GeordieGunner96]

To say smith was destroyed is a bit of an overstatement. Canelo was always in control but smith did have his moments just didn't have the punch power to gain canelos respect so he just got walked down every round but he went out on his shield & was prepared to get k.o'd trying to win rather than just saying yeah I went 12 rnds & you have to respect that.

[@anthonym1571]

Canelo's hand speed is incredible

[@pretorious700]

Props to Weaver. Not gifted technically, he was fearless and powerful.

[@blairbreland1443]

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Mike tyson

Has to be Iron Mike, Spinks was undefeated and the great heavyweights of this era were so much better than today's comedy of errors bunch.

[@chionyenkwu2253]

The Tate shocker 😉😉

[@mike-tt7vu]

The Tyson v Spinks ruined pay per view for me...I never again paid to watch again!

[@jamesmitchell467]

Canelo left hook to the liver.

[@roymerritt9927]

In the first fight, the Pole punched himself out to the point his blows later on were of little consequence against the Russian champion who obviously did his homework on his opponent. He simply bided his time and put him down three different times to win. As to Tate and Weaver Tate was always overrated and Weaver's problem was stamina. But he was long a hard and dangerous puncher. He no doubt trained well for this fight and improved his stamina well enough to knock Tate out in the last round. I think this fight took any confidence Tate had because afterward his career went downhill fast and he was a shell of himself. The other two fights were frankly foregone conclusions as far as I'm concerned.

[@anthonym1571]

He had perfect defence and took that early onslaught beautifully

[@johndroos9486]

In the first fight Pole was a champ and challanger was from Russia.

[@ritzrandom5551]

Weaver vs Tate reminds me of Benavidez vs Plant but the 15th round never happened. Weaver also fights like Benavidez.

My favorite is Tyson's destruction of Spinks. At the time, people were IRATE that the fight only lasted 90-something seconds. Jokes everywhere about Spinks counting of dollars while the ref counted off seconds while he was down. Spinks was knocked out so hard he wasn't even counting sheep while he was down there.
