Julian Jackson W12 Thomas Tate

Rd.1-Jackson
Rd.2-Jackson
Rd.3-Tate (close)
Rd.4-Jackson (10-8)
Rd.5-Tate
Rd.6-Tate
Rd.7-Jackson
Rd.8-Jackson (close)
Rd.9-Jackson (close)
Rd.10-Jackson
Rd.11-Tate
Rd.12-Jackson

Very good middleweight fight, the first two rounds are tame, both men jabbing with Jackson rumbling along like the tank he is landing just a few more punches each round. In the third they both open up and Tate gets the better of it with his slightly faster hands and better movement. In the fourth it began to look like a typical Julian Jackson fight with him battering down Tate but in the fifth Jackson gets a little over-aggressive and while they are slugging Tate lands some hard lefts and rights and hurts Jackson and puts him on the back foot. In the sixth Jackson still looks shaky and Tate gets the better of it but Jackson gets his legs under him in the seventh and wins the next three rounds albeit each were very hard fought and action packed. In the tenth and eleventh both men take it easy and in the twelfth both men make a big finish that sees both men hurt but Jackson gets the better of it. Excellent performance from both men and a fight I would definitely recommend.

Lanard Lane vs Tucker

Round 1 Lane

Close competitive round but Lane just
about landed the cleaner work,Tucker
caught Lane with a counter right a couple
of times in the round but not much on it

Round 2 Lane

Lane pinned Tucker on the ropes and let his
combos go, he also went to the body when he has
Tucker there, Tucker came back a little at the end
but too late imo

Round 3 Tucker (kind)

I felt Tucker did some effect work early in the round
and got through Lane's defense a couple of times toward
the end of the round most notably with a nice right hand
,Lane did land the best punch of the round though, a nice
clean uppercut.

Round 4 Tucker

Exciting round where Lane landed on Tucker and managed to
hurt him, Lane stepped on the gas and let some combos go but
aside from that i felt he let Tucker take over the round and
outpunch him to take the round

Round 5 Lane

Tucker not as active this round as Lane nailed him with
uppercuts up the middle and started to do what he is good
at, stepping to the side after throwing
a punch and mounting another attack

Round 6 Lane

Pace slowed a little but Lane still countered with the cleaner
punches imo, Lane also landed some nice hooks to the body

Round 7 Lane

Lane landed a few left hooks when in close and a chopping
right that knocked Tucker's mouth peice out, toward the end
Lane was nailing him on the ropes and looked as though he
might force a stoppage

Round 8 Lane

Lane is exciting to watch and his positive are he has good speed and is a combination
puncher he can fight inside he can go to the body effectively he is very adept at
stepping off the the side after he throws a combo so he cant mount another combo
from another angle.

Negatives, he pulls straight back in line when attacked, drops his hands when he
is out of the range and sometimes when pulling out. Exciting to watch and has talent
but i fear his defensive liability's will catch up to him.

Porter vs Jordan

Round 1 Porter (kind)

Not much to choose from at all as neither man
landed much, Porter just edged it for me as he
outhussled Jordan a bit.

Round 2 Porter

Porter forced Jordan backwards and put the pressure on
him going to the body when inside he also landed a solid
right hand but he seemed to stay in close too long and get
hit with a right hook that seem to hurt him it made him
back up anyway not enough to lose the round though imo

Round 3 Porter
Slight edge to Porter as landed to the body and scored with a
right toward the end, again not much in the round in terms
of scoring

Round 4 Porter
Good body work by Porter as he stayed in tight and put
the pressure on Jordan mid round

Round 5 Porter

Porter was not doing much for most of the round and that
was okay because Jordan was not landing but
right at the end Porter came alive a bit and closed better imo

Round 6 Jordan

Porter landed a good left hook early that rocked Porter but
Porter himself got nailed again with the right when inside and
Jordan then put the pressure on him and closed better imo.

Round 7 Jordan (kind)
Jordan was a little more consistent this round but he did
still get counterd with some good shots from Porter

Round 8 Porter

Round 9 Porter 10/8
Porter was more active and landed a few combos this round
Jordan had a point taken for allegedly spitting out the
mouth piece

Round 10 Porter

Arguably Porter's best round


A nightmare style match up for the shorter Shawn Porter, a tall left hander. Porter
did not seem to know whether to stay intight after working his way in there
or whether to keep it at long range and use lateral movement to offset Jordan and
attack of the angles his movement creates. Teddy Atlas criticized Porter not for
staying in close and his corner also seemed to be favouring that he stay in there once he
has worked his way inside, however twice throughougt the fight Porter got caught
with solid right hooks when he stayed in there too long, both times he backed up after
getting caught so i dont blame Porter for not wanting to stay inclose, what i blame
Porter for is that when he got inclose he should of got his combo off then stepped across
and mounted another attack instead of staying infront of Jordan, that way i dont think
he gets hit inclose with that right hook. The irony
is, is that Atlas and his corner seemed to be telling him to stay in close but Porter
had his best two round of the fight 9+10 when he kept it long and used angles, it
was as though his corner had been confusing him telling him to stay in close and that
he did not know what to do for the best, i reckon he got his rythm going late in the
fight because he settled into what was most effective for him, which was not laying inside
giving the opponent a chance to catch him.

Porter could of fought inside but only if he steps off the line after punching and attacks
from another angles, that way he would be safe and not catch receipts like that right
hook.

Jordan is not a good fighter who knows how to use his jab properly to maximize
he does not have the footwork and snap on the jab to make it a big
factor against the shorter man, plus he is not a good counter
puncher who can catch you coming in so making him come foward is not a bad game
plan, provided you use lateral movement and attack off angles.

Just watched Mike McCallum's greatest performace ever-his 11th round kayo of Michael Watson. McCallum's totally outboxed the Brit, giving him a severe beating and knocking him out cold in the 11th round with some chilling right crosses. I believe thus fight had, along with the Eubank wars, alot to do with Watson almost dying in the ring after the Eubank fight.

There is a video on youtube where Steve Collins says that he believes the Watson fight is the fight that really did the damage on Michael Watson.

Watched Tony Tucker's 10th round stoppage of Buster Douglas from 1987. Strange ending, as Buster was dominating the fight until he got hurt in the 10th round. All of a sudden, he quit. Had he won, he would not only have won the IBF title, but would have fought Tyson two months later to unify the title.

Yeah? i had a bit of a different interpretation of it, i felt it was a pretty close fight with Douglas infront by maybe 1/2 rounds but the rounds were not easy to score from what i recall so they could of been going either way. I thought Douglas was pretty much out on his feet when the fight was stopped and my assumption was that he did not want to go on because he was badly hurt and did not want to take more punishment, more so than because he quit mentally.

Mike Weaver KO2 Carl Williams

Rd.1-Williams
Rd.2-Weaver (KO)

What a great short fight this was, Williams was snaking the jab through Weaver's guard and hurting him with it but Weaver hung tough and lasted through. The second was looking even worse for Weaver when he was up against the ropes and getting pounded on but then he drops the hammer out of nowhere and puts Williams down hard. After that Mike was all over Williams putting him down twice more to stop the fight. Dramatic stuff, reminiscent of Gaby Canizales' comeback KO over Happy Lora in it's brutal finish, great choice Silva, Miracle Mike shining through again.
