Why would he drain himself for fights he didn’t need to make weight for? Here’s the answer: he didn’t. He probably never weighed much more than that 170 in the ring.
@peacefulbliss13 роки тому
@@billduffe4472 Yes, this is what I have always thought. I bet Gerald was a light heavyweight in those fights, definitely the second one. On the other hand, I've heard Jackson say he had to keep eating just to stay at middleweight and towards the end of his career actually went back down in weight. Never understood how fighters could make the weight, then add 10 or 20 pounds overnight. I mean they are already supposed to be in shape to begin with and train daily, so I never understood it.

It's only seen as an early stoppage because Jackson wasn't totally out on his feet yet, but he was taking massive unanswered damage and had no way back into the fight. I would have thrown in the towel if I was in his corner and the referee didn't wave it off. No sense leaving it all out there for a fight you're not going to win - the technical edge was just a level above.

Worst ring announcer of all time! OMG! Great fight! Stoppage might have been a bit early, but the writing was on the wall.

They say it was controversial stoppages, for me the ref do his job right. Jackson is not responding anymore and he got hit multiple tines while on defense.. Good call for ref

Unbelievable performance by the Body Snatcher. Had Julian hurt by the middle of the first round. McCallum was totally unafraid to stay in the pocket.
