Your channel is great! Every Friday night I like to pick a different fighter, and watch a bunch of his fights and any documentaries I can find. And I get alot of great stuff from your channel. It's very much appreciated!!🥊🥊I was lucky enough to meet alot of the older fighters, like Ali, Leonard, Pepino Cuevas, and alot of others. It's so nice to look back and re-watch all the great fights!
ALOT may not know it but Clint Jackson was also and outstanding boxing COACH he was head coach of Nashville sheriff BOXING TEAM he came to Louisville Kentucky at the ORMSBY BOYS CLUB johnny bumphus fought DANA ROSTON
Thanks for reminding about Jackson. He had an enormous amount of talent. That Fletcher fight was as good as it gets. Crazy back and forth action. Horrible and unbelievable post career decisions. He’s an old beaten man now. I hope he gets paroled.
Great episode! Living in Nashville I got to see most of Fate Thomas Punching Posse. Coffee, Bumphus and Jackson were the big names. I remember being shocked at his arrest. Now I gotta rewatch the Bumphus documentary you did. Thanks Rich!
Tuesday, then Friday night fights. Then one of the rocky movies b4 bed. Most of my childhood until I went to the military. My grandfather was a welterweight contender and fought on a few Marciano cards. Me on the other hand just loved being a punching bag
Rich I love how you bring the lesser celebrity boxers to light and you always show the fascinating (and sadly often tragic) life that they have outside of the ring. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent. I've been looking forward to this (I figured Rich would eventually do a Clint Jackson bio). I was an amateur boxer back then and kept up with most of the US boxers in my weight range. I remember being glad I boxed lightweight through light welter at that time, and hadn't grown into the welterweight through light middle division until the late 1970s -- for some reason Clint seemed more intimidating to me than most guys in that weight range, even though he didn't have the speed, counterpunching and defensive mastery of Ray Leonard or Howard Davis. Jackson was a high pressure fighter at his best. I remember being shocked that his pro career didn't develop and he self destructed. He had all the physical ability and skills, but something seemed to be missing in his mindset toward the end of his amateur career, even before he turned pro, as if he were already imploding. I recall one important amateur bout in which Clint seemed distracted and frustrated with something -- his opponent or something else -- and kept looking toward the referee and his corner. Odd behavior for an elite level amateur fighter who was older and more experienced than most in his era and weight class. It seemed as if he had stayed in the safety of amateur boxing too long after the 1976 Olympics and didn't adapt well to the pros. In both the amateurs and later in his pro career, Jackson seemed most comfortable being the pressure guy, moving forward and dictating the action. But he didn't take advantage of his southpaw stance and didn't really give slick opponents much difficulty reading him. Just forward or backward movement, very little lateral movement or tricky footwork. He never seemed to master the counterpunch, reading or anticipating opponents. Yet he also lacked the one punch KO power needed to dictate the pace against equally tough opponents, so when he was forced backward or against the ropes he tended to cover up and wait out the storm. Anyway, great video on one of the better woulda-coulda-shoulda been US fighters.
Many thanks, Rich, for covering Jackson. But man, oh man, what I wouldn't give to see the Jackson versus Drayton fight. I've heard for years it was an ESPN classic war (even Al Bernstein said as much), but it doesn't seem to exist on TH-cam.
Well done Rich. I saw so many of his fights on USA and ESPN. With respect to Clint and his opponents in that era there was little of the sweet science and plenty of rock um sock um. I saw face first SF MW Jimmy Lester many times and even Jimmy had more subtly than Clint and Frank Fletcher and the others. The fans, I use that term loosely, seem to think that’s boxing. Sad ending to a really tough determined guy from a difficult upbringing. I hope he lives long enough to see freedom.
Another sad tale of what could have been. He had a ton of talent; but, in the end, much of boxing has to do with connections. Who you know and not necessarily what you do. Many a talented fighter never got the right breaks to make it to the top. Of course, Jackson didn't do himself any favors at the beginning of his career by out-pricing himself with those who could have moved him along better. Much in life is cause and effect. Thank you, again, for reminding us of an incredibly talented fighter, lost in what was really deep couple of divisions at the time he fought.
Great work as usual, Rich. I wonder if Jackson was ever considered as an opponent for Mugabi when "The Beast" was tearing up the Jr. Middleweight div.; I think that would have been interesting and not an automatic easy win for Mugabi if Jackson got in some big punches first!
Wow !! I never heard of ClintonJackson but now after watching the video his style would blended in well with any of the four kings and other top fighters 🥊fun fact Rich , Mario Maldonado lives on the next block from me very cool dude . Thanks For the Boxing Knowledge 🥊✅
What a beautiful channel . This is how a lot of untold stories should come to surface It is so interesting seeing what people struggle with and untold stories. Thanks
Another one before my time but I know of this man real badman look forward to this Richie mate, been away for a bit so missed a few videos catching up now 👍
Another superb documentary by Rich. He truly knows how to move a story along and digging for some of these facts can't be easy. I would assume that there is more to the story for his continued incarceration for 35 years.
@richthefighthistorian Thank you for other brilliant piece of history! Boxing fans who know your work, appreciate your hard work are forever grateful! Can I please ask you what the piece of music was at the beginning of this documentary? Thank you 🙏🏽
Nice one Rich, I didn’t know anything about Clint Jackson, the UK never really showed much boxing in the early eighties unless it was world title fight. Great photo of the 76 Olympic team. Many thanks Rich. 🥊
Rich, can you please do the great welterweight contender of the 1940s, Tommy Bell? According to Sugar Ray Robinson, Bell gave him one of his hardest fights at welter & was one of a select few who managed to knock Ray down. Also, Bell is the man that Robinson had to beat in order to claim his first world title.
He kind of burnt out but brother was dangerous a punishing southpaw with that upercut thought he had enough to go all the way thanks for posting this right that cool
Jackson didn’t start boxing until his late teens. He had a long amateur career .then turned professional pretty late. Like a few superstar amateurs of that era who peaked before they even turned professional
There's a big difference between Amateur Boxing and Pro Boxing. The 1st is a Sport, while the 2nd is a Racket with a very shady history. I can imagine why an Amateur might not even want to enter the Slime Pit of Pro Boxing. Others might try but not be able to make the adjustment. There's a lot of politics in Pro Boxing. That's how worthy conteders like Jackson never get a title shot. On the other hand, every Amateur Boxer has an equal chance at being crowned Champ in a tradtional elimination tournament. And starting with Cassius Clay in 1960, Pro Boxing has become more of a Performance than a Sport, eventually replete with nicknames, trash talk, costumes, and grand entrances to the ring. What Amateur Boxer who is a true student of the sport would want to be part of a Circus like that, except perhaps for the love of money ??? 😢
Good job Rich on uploading the career of Clint Jackson. Too bad, had Jackson won his important fights more, he could have face "The Bodysnatcher" Mike McCallum who is most likely to beat Jackson in his defense of his WBA Light Middleweight Title. Jackson was a good contender and fought the best that he could. Keep it up Rich.
@@RichtheFightHistorian You're welcome and we both know the Bodysnatcher would be too much for Jackson as he would go out like McCallum's challengers. Yes, Jackson's fight against Davey Moore would have been more interesting. Keep it up Rich.
Another good one Rich! I really enjoy the live action footage you include in all your videos. It gives the story more depth. Just curious , Have you ever done some voice over work?
That could possibly be true but the 76 team faced way tougher competition. They had to face Cuba and Russia fighters whose Countries boycotted the 84 Olympics.
76 best ever, the last great Olympics, every country was there, Russian's and Cubans. I forgot the African nations weren't there . Boycotted for some reason
Clint was in that no mans land of Jr. Middleweight, the big money was welterweight and middleweight, he would of had to lose hard weight to fight at welter and the welters were ruled by Hearns and Leonard and middleweight king was Marvelous Marvin.
People make bad decisions , so they say everybody deserves a 2nd chance if he had gotten out , he had the talent to make money , but where he came from may be why , and not get it out of him.
So he’s done 35 years in the state penitentiary and he’ll be CONSIDERED for parole?! 🤦🏾♂️ He should have been out! And don’t get me wrong. What he did was bad. But nobody was killed. And he has served 35 years!!! That’s a very long time. A lot of his family and friends have since died. Guy’s that have murder convictions haven’t served that long. What a shame. His family petitioned for his release back in 2016 and I’m sure it fell on deaf ears. Especially where he’s incarcerated. Apparently, you have a better chance of winning the presidency than making parole in Alabama! 😂 I mean, when is enough, enough? The man is blind in one eye! 🤦🏾♂️
_The man is blind in one eye!_ So what. He chose to kidnap/rob/murder someone for a few thousand dollars; just because he was stupid enough to let the man escape does not change any of that. He then chose to take it to trial instead of accepting the 15 year plea deal; knowing that his brother/partner had snitched on him and the man was going to testify against him, which guaranteed his conviction. He went in to his first parole hearing in 1998 talking racism horseshjt to everyone, claiming that he didn't do anything but be born black.
@@slaphead8835 _Why the hell is he still in there?_ See my above comment and add this to it: _"…this was due to the combination of a dark skin Black male offender and older white victim in the rural south. Racially motivated punishments were a sign of the times, but in 2016 we see the somber results of that mindset.

He is indeed forgotten, as I forgot him. There is quite a bit I don't remember from the 1970s and 1980s. Very inconsistent pro. Bad luck and very bad decisions. Great amateur.
Clinton challenged me to a 3-round match before the Evergreen HS Student body in 1970 that was refereed by the Football coach over a young lady that we both had interest in. She became my girlfriend after the match! i was from DC and had pretty good hands. He hit me hard; however, as I recall, my jab tattooed him! The winner of the match was.... I left Evergreen in 1970 "under threat" after a racial incident at the school and never saw him or my girl again. Her initials were DM! I have seen a comment from a T. Stallworth that he saw a match in the Evergreen HS Gym where Clinton knocked his opponent out. If that match was in 1970 and was the one I previously spoke of, T Stallworth is wrong. Clinton DID NOT knock me out!

Thanks, Lou. I look into Walker.
Another fighter who's forgotten.
Hard man and a bad man.
Cheers Rich 👊
Thanks, Mr T
Fletcher vs Jackson , what a war !
I noticed the Spinks brothers, Big John Tate, Howard Davis, and Ray Leonard in the 76 Olympics photo.
Thanks for reminding about Jackson. He had an enormous amount of talent. That Fletcher fight was as good as it gets. Crazy back and forth action. Horrible and unbelievable post career decisions. He’s an old beaten man now. I hope he gets paroled.
Thanks, Slaphead. Fletcher-Jackson is certainly an underrated brawl.
I loved Clinton Jackson. His matches against Braxton and Fletcher were amazing ❤
Great episode! Living in Nashville I got to see most of Fate Thomas Punching Posse. Coffee, Bumphus and Jackson were the big names. I remember being shocked at his arrest. Now I gotta rewatch the Bumphus documentary you did. Thanks Rich!
Always a pleasure, whitehurstcomic.
I remember watching Clint regularly as a kid. This one hits hard.
Great story Rich, truly sad to hear Jackson's last before final destination as we all will some day God willing. 🙏
Tuesday Night Fights on USA Network was my favorite show back in the day. Saw many up and comers before they became champions on those shows.
Tuesday, then Friday night fights. Then one of the rocky movies b4 bed. Most of my childhood until I went to the military. My grandfather was a welterweight contender and fought on a few Marciano cards. Me on the other hand just loved being a punching bag

Growing up in Nashville, was very familiar with CJ and remember the Fletcher fight well. A real shame how his life turned out
