Julian Jackson made quick work of his third WBA light-middleweight title defence by stopping Terry Norris in two rounds #OnThisDay in 1989 and then quickly issued challenges to John Mugabi, Michael Nunn and Mike McCallum, and just about anyone else who would help make the explosive champion a household name. ‘The Hawk’ drilled home a single right hand that had Norris in the twilight zone even before he hit the canvas in Atlantic City. Somehow Norris managed to beat the count, referee Joe Cortez gave him a long study and looked him in his glazed eyes before waving it off after one minute 37 seconds. "I just want to tell Mike Tyson something," Jackson said after the fight. "I can do it, too.” Referring to Tyson’s 93-second demolition of Carl Williams a week before. "I hit him with three punches, but I knew he was out after the first one," Jackson said. "The kid had heart, but I knew he was hurt, so I was glad the referee stopped it.” The chief-support saw Julio Cesar Chavez move to 62-0 (53 KOs) by stopping Kenny Vice in three rounds. #boxing #BoxingNews #BoxingHistory #JacksonNorris #JulianJackson (at Atlantic City Convention Center)
