John TATE vs Mike WEAVER | Highlights HD [60fps] | March, 31 1980

🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Theres something that hits different about this fight and I don’t know why

All John tate needed to do was stay away from the lift hook he had the fight won and he was going to the score card he was winning all the rounds and he lost at the very end I was putting for him I really thought he was going to win the fight but he let weaver hit him with the left hook and he went face down

Yep,fishy!?!but looking closer it was a left and right to finish the job😳

Saw this fight, on regular TV, believe it was a late Saturday afternoon. That’s how they did it then. Great fight, Tate had this fight locked up, out of nowhere Weaver puts him to sleep. That’s what makes boxing so great. I miss these days of Howard Cosell calling great fights right on your TV, no ppv, didn’t need cable, these were glory days for boxing fans.

This is what makes the heavyweight division so unpredictable. All of these heavyweight can end a fight with just one punch.

It been 43 years since I saw that incredible KO for the first on TV in 1980. It still is exciting to see Weaver KO Big John.

😴 💤 🛌

Referee counting...🤣😂🤣

The ONLY fighter in Heavyweight history who was losing on EVERY scorecard going into the
LAST round who would need a Knock Out to win - and got it with just 60 seconds left!
I saw it live on ABC Sports in the afternoon back when you could actually watch BIG fights for free!
It was incredible because underdog Weaver looked like he stood zero chance

45 minute match - 45 seconds left on the clock…

I felt so bad for big John tate he was never the same.mike weaver you are a A- HOLE

You could tell it was going to be the left hook... He landed it clean a few times and finally got him with it for good!

Damn. John Tate died all the way back in 1998. Had a brain tumor and stroke and wrecked his truck.
