Weaver shut out LeDoux over 12 with his jab on the Frenchman's turf, handed an undefeated Tillis his first loss via a comfortable 15 round UD, and he did not need to knock out Coeztee to successfully defend his WBA Title, even in Gerrie's back yard. He also drew in the rematch with a highly skilled Dokes in a match where he should have left the ring with his title back. Mercer was getting schooled badly by Damiani, Morrison got off to a quick start, then Holmes finished what Damiani and Morrison started. Weaver would also bring it home. At that stage of his career, he had championship round stamina, a championship heart, and some quality skills.
