YouTube - Mike Weaver Vs. "BIG" John Tate (KO-15) - 03-31-1980 - Round 15 - W.B.A. Heavyweight Title - Stokley Athletics Center, Knoxville, Tennessee

Honorable mentions, Gene Hatchers 11th round stoppage of Johnny Bumphus after being totally abused for the first 10 rounds and the first Leonard/Hearns fight, as much as it pains me to say it.
Ditto on Tate vs. Weaver
