Julian Jackson Vs Gerald Mcclellan
Defenses against Dennis Milton (KO 1), Ismael Negron (KO 1) alongside Ron Collins (TKO 5) ended quickly, but Thomas Tate would make Jackson work longer as well as harder in August 1992 encounter. Julian had to go to the scorecards for the first time in a title bout in winning a 12-round unanimous decision, scoring a knockdown along the way. At this point, Jackson was in the middle of the pound-for-pound rankings.
This would lead to his showdown in May 1993 with another big hitter, Gerald McClellan. This time the challenger prevailed, as Jackson failed to find the knockout blow when hitting McClellan with hard punches as well as controlling Rounds 2 and 3, with McClellan turning the fight around and knocking Jackson down twice in the fifth round. The second knockdown prompted the referee to stop the fight after Jackson made it to his feet yet remained unsteady.
After winning his next three fights, Jackson had another shot at the title in May 1994 in a rematch with McClellan. In a very brief fight, Jackson hit McClellan with some hard punches, but Jackson was then hurt himself as well as put under heavy pressure by McClellan, with McClellan flooring Jackson with a left hook to the body after 65 seconds. The referee counted Jackson out as he rose to his feet.
Julian Jackson Career
Jackson went back to professional in February 1981 and had many of his early fights in Puerto Rico, where he resided for a short time, as well as gained a shot at WBA super welterweight champion Mike McCallum in August 1986. Jackson hurt the champion on a couple of occasions in the first round, but McCallum came storming back with a barrage that forced the referee to stop matters in the second round
He represented the United States Virgin Islands at the year 1979 Pan American Games, losing his first fight to Jose Baret of the Dominican Republic. He reportedly completed his amateur career with a record of 15 wins, 2 losses.
After retiring from the sport, he joined the ministry and still lives in his birthplace of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. He has continued his involvement in the local boxing field as a trainer as well as coach, and his three sons, Julius Jackson, Julian Jackson Jr., and John Jackson have all competed professionally since the year 2009.
After McClellan vacated the title to move up to super-middleweight, Jackson would have a second but brief reign as WBC middleweight champion, beating the previously undefeated European champion Agostino Cardamone in March 1995.
Jackson had a shaky end to the first round, during which he was hurt and put under pressure until the bell by Cardamone, who was not considered a hard puncher. In round two, however, Jackson again showed his punching power by suddenly dropping Cardamone heavily with a short right hand. Cardamone managed to make it to his feet but remained badly shaken, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
Jackson lost the title in his first defense against Quincy Taylor in August 1995, by a sixth-round stoppage. During the fight with Taylor, Jackson tore his rotator cuff and looked a shadow of his former self. Jackson would have four more low-key victories, before ending his career with losses to Verno Phillips and Anthony Jones, both in nine rounds, in 1998.
