I believe it is time for me to hang them up got a new job and haven’t been in a boxing gym since June 1 2017 been a good run for me having 89 pro fights but time to pass it on to the youngsters wanna say thanks to all who supported me on here might due a retirement fight in my hometown but hard to say I have to keep my brain together

I appreciate you granting me an interview a couple years back. I've followed your career closely since, and in all fairness yeah I think you're probably making the right call in hanging 'em up.

A retirement fight in your hometown is probably fair due to the long career you've had. Hopefully they can get you a fairly easy matchup so you can go out with a W.

Best of luck in your future endeavors Galen. You've had an interesting career, and you'll be able to tell stories about it for the rest of your life. Good stories at that.

Thanks for the kind words and I will keep everybody updated on if I do a retirement fight

[pound per pound]

I hope nobody asks Trey Lippe Morrison if he's fight James Morrison.

[oogiebe]

I'm more taken by the fact that both of Tommy's boys are still being scheduled for 6 rounders. Not sure how they rate.

Good luck for the future Galen, youve been a fantastic servant to the sport and hope theres good stuff for you in life after boxing.

It's unfortunate that we never got to see Galen Brown vs. Byron Polley. Galen, now that you're at the end of your career can you share why this fight never happened?

Yeah, it's time to increase the opposition level before it's too late.

Best of luck to you, brother! Hope u r none the worse for wear!

By the way, why didn't you start a dedicated thread about it instead of tacking it on here? Am i missing something?

Yes better to stop on your own terms

Happy retirement

So now Trey Lippe is scheduled for an 8 rounder. ZZZzzz...

The fight never happened because Polley didn’t want to we have been friends since grade school but when it comes to money we can be friends after the fight on the way to the bank might be the only fight left for me to train for just for the pride but if it was to never happen I am good with that also I have had a long good career time to pass it on but if the money is right I can always come out of retirement lol

Oklahoma, Arkansas, etc always has nice little scraps. It's an excellent place to begin a pro career. Galen, Jesus bless you and your family, and all the best in whatever you want to do from here on out sir!

As for the Brothers Morrison, I'm not sure which one I like better. Trey Lippe or Kenzie. Virtually identical in looks, size, abilities and records. It's all a matter of who steps up first.

Trey had been training this past winter with Tommy's old trainer Tom Virgets and was looking good developing that Morison left hook. Virgets was in the corner for Trey's last fight. Unfortunately for Trey, Virgets was offered a job as Executive Director for AIBA which required him moving to Lusane Switzerland.

And is it known with whom he trains now?

I don't know the trainers name but they wanted a guy who could teach a similar style that Virgets taught and it is some guy in Kansas I believe. It's not John Brown who was Tommy's amateur coach.

Well, it'll be great, if that other coach appears to be at least as good as Virgets. Thanks for the info.
