Born On This Day
1955- "Big" John Tate (born in in Knoxville, Tennessee)
American prizefighter and Olympic boxer, who briefly held the World Boxing Association heavyweight title from 1979 to 1980.
"Big John" Tate(named due to his 6'4" height) captured a bronze medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, losing to Olympic boxing legend Teófilo Stevenson.
Olympic results
* 1st round bye
* Defeated Andrzej Biegalski (Poland) 5-0
* Defeated Peter Hussing (West Germany) 3-2
* Lost to Teófilo Stevenson (Cuba) KO by 1
Tate lost in the finals of the 1975 National Golden Gloves to Emory Chapman. He lost in the quarterfinals the next year in a split decision to Michael Dokes.He avenged his loss to Dokes in the Olympic Trials by decision, and beat 1976 National AAU Champion Marvin Stinson to advance to the Olympic team.
Tate turned pro in 1977 and captured the WBA title on October 20, 1979 by defeating Gerrie Coetzee by decision, succeeding Muhammad Ali, who had relinquished the title that summer. Tate's reign was brief, however, as he lost the title to Mike Weaver just five months later. Tate was leading on all scorecards going into the last round when Weaver landed a punch to the chin that left the champion unconscious on the canvas for several minutes.
Tate came back from the loss on June 20, 1980 against up and coming Trevor Berbick. This was on the undercard of the legendary fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Durán. However, the former champion was easily defeated by Berbick. He was knocked out by a punch that caught him on the back of the head and left him unconscious. Tate became the object of ridicule after these humiliating losses. Although he fought until 1988, he was never again taken seriously as a challenger.
Tate's professional career record was 34-3, with 23 wins by knockout.
Tate's life after his championship reign was brief and troubled, suffering from a cocaine addiction during the 1980s, being convicted on petty theft and assault charges,[2] serving time in prison, and at times panhandling on the streets of Knoxville, Tennessee. He was rumored to have ballooned to over 400 pounds in his post-fighting years.
On April 9, 1998, Tate died of injuries sustained following a one-car automobile accident. It was determined that he suffered a massive stroke, caused by a brain tumor, while driving. The pickup truck crashed into a utility pole. Two other passengers were not seriously injured. The Knox County medical examiner stated that Tate "had been using cocaine regularly in the last 24 hours of his life."
1970- Michele Piccirillo (born in in Modugno, Italy)
Professional boxer in the welterweight (147lb) division.
Known as "Gentleman", Piccirillo turned pro in 1992 and captured the Vacant IBF Welterweight Title with a decision win over Cory Spinks in 2002. He lost the belt the following year in a rematch to Spinks. In 2005 he challenged Ricardo Mayorga for the vacant WBC light middleweight title, but lost a decision. Despite the defeat, Piccirillo continues to fight, mainly in his home country of Italy.
Piccirillo again fought for the WBC light middleweight belt on December 1, 2007, losing to Vernon Forrest by way of an 11th round TKO.
1975- Robert Garcia (born Roberto García Cortez in San Pedro, California)
Retired Mexican-American professional boxer in the Lightweight division and is currently considered one of the best trainers in boxing. He's also the former IBF Super Featherweight Champion. He has a Brother who is considered one of the best Featherweight contenders, Miguel Angel Garcia.
García grew up and still resides in Oxnard, California. He even trained world champions with his Father at La Colonia Boxing Club.
Amateur career
Roberto had a very good amateur career and even fought future Olympic Gold Medalist Oscar De La Hoya.
Professional career
Known as "Grandpa", García won his pro debut against Tsutomu Hitono at the International Center in Fukuoka, Japan.
In 1995 he took down the previously unbeaten American Julian Wheeler to win his first belt, the NABF Super Featherweight Championship. Roberto successfully defended his Championship just three months later against Francisco Segura.
At the Miami Arena, Roberto would move down to Featherweight and beat Darryl Pinckney to win the NABF Featherweight Championship.
On March 13, 1998 an undefeated García captured the vacant IBF Super Featherweight Championship with a unanimous decision win over Harold Warren. In his first title defense he knocked out Cuban Ramon Ledon at the Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Roberto's next fight was against two-time World Champion, Puerto Rico's John John Molina. García defeated Molina over twelve rounds, that fight card also featured Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, and Fres Oquendo.
He lost the belt in an upset to rising undefeated Mexican American phenom Diego Corrales. After a win over title contender Sandro Marcos he moved back up in the world rankings.
In January of 2001, he earned a shot at the undefeated WBA Super Featherweight champion Joel Casamayor. Casamayor won the fight and Garcia retired shortly after beating veteran John Trigg by knockout.
Garcia formally worked as a trainer at La Colonia Gym in Oxnard, California. Notable fighters who have trained under Garcia include, Joan Guzmán, Steve Luevano, Brian Viloria, Victor Ortíz and Nonito Donaire.

1980- Takefumi Sakata (born in Aki District, Hiroshima, Japan)
Japanese boxer in the flyweight (112 lb/50 kg) division and a former WBA flyweight champion.
Sakata was the premier boxer in the Kyoei boxing gym before the arrival of Kōki Kameda in 2005. He stayed out of the limelight for most of his career, even being used as Kameda's sparring partner, but finally won a world title in 2007, defeating Lorenzo Parra for the vacant WBA Flyweight title.
Sakata began boxing when he joined his school's amateur boxing team in his first year in high school. He quit after only a couple months, but returned to boxing in his senior year, when he entered a local boxing gym, run by the father of former WBA Middlweight champion Shinji Takehara. He moved to Tokyo during summer vacation, and entered the Kyoei boxing gym to begin serious training.
Sakata won his debut fight by 3rd round TKO in 1998. He won the Japanese Flyweight title in 2001, and defended the title three times before losing by 10 round decision to Trash Nakanuma in 2002. He fought Nakanuma again in April, 2003, and won by decision, regaining his title. He defended the title two more times before returning it.
On June 4, 2004, Sakata fought Lorenzo Parra for the WBA Flyweight title at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan, but lost by 12 round decision. He fought Parra again in September of the same year, but lost by decision again.
He marked five straight wins after his losses against Parra, and fought Roberto Vasquez in Paris, France, for the WBA Flyweight interim title on December 2, 2006. He suffered a knockdown in the 5th round, but fought back hard in the second half, and Vasquez barely managed to keep his title with a 2-1 split decision.
On March 9, 2007, Sakata fought WBA Flyweight champion Lorenzo Parra for the third time, and became the champion by TKO in the 3rd round. This was Sakata's first win out of four world title matches. The day before the fight, Parra could not make the 112 lb weight limit. He tried again two hours later, but was still 4 pounds overweight. As a consequence, Parra was stripped of the title and fined 35% of his fight money. The WBA decided to hold the title match with a bantamweight limit (118 lb/53 kg), and Parra was introduced as the former champion for the fight.
Sakata has since then defended his title four times. Most recently, he retained it with a unanimous decision win over Hiroyuki Hisataka on July 30, 2008. On his fifth defense however, he was dismantled in two rounds by Denkaosan Kaovichit of Thailand on December 31, 2008.
Sakata received an opportunity to take back the WBA 112-lb title on September 25, 2010. There, he faced Daiki Kameda who won the title from Kaovichit in two attempts. Unfortunately for Sakata, Kameda won the bout on all score cards.
On January 13, 2011, he announced his retirement from the ring.

"18 years ago today in 1994 Julio Cesar Chavez was defeated for the first time, losing by split decision to 18-1 underdog Frankie Randall, ending his historic streak of 90 fights without a loss! Randall was the first man to officially defeat Chavez and he was also the first to knock him down, in the 11th. Chavez lost two points for low blows in the fight and once again Richard Steele was in the center of the controversy."
