A Boxing Lesson from Tommy Morrison

[Caractacus]

Came across this on youtube,and just thought it was really interesting to see.
"Beause..I will be there....."
Anyone know what year this is from ?

I guess, it took place not long before it had been posted, somewhere in 2010. Here he seemed to be less bulky than in his last fight (Feb 9, 2008), and closer to his look of Fight Night Champion promo-interview (Feb 2011).

The first few seconds of that video,I thought it was the return of Joe Choynski
( here he is at age 42 years)

[Caractacus]

Yeah,you're right.I didn't even know he came back to the ring for this bout.
That left hook ( or right ?)didn't look to have much power behind it, but it was right on the button.
( This fight must have been secretly video-taped pointing at a big mirror ?

[DrDuke]

Yeah,you're right.I didn't even know he came back to the ring for this bout.
That right hand didn't have much but it was right on the button.

I actually ment this fight:



What you posted wasn't even an official fight. That was some formal unofficial stuff Tommy made after all the commissions hadn't allowed him to box with HIV, which he had denied. Sad to realize, Tommy was broken mentally and went to that denial. Sad to watch his final footage.

I remember the Corey "Whiz Kid" Williams debacle. Allegedly it was going to be a legitimate fight, but the feds came in and threatened to throw everyone in jail if it was a genuine fight. So, it was (at the last minute) billed as a Muay Thai fight, and Williams got "knocked out". It was so clearly staged that the feds let them go.

However.... I believe in retrospect that it was always going to be fake no matter what... Williams has been involved in many fake contests, the most recent being a bareknuckle boxing show in England getting "knocked out" by James McCrory.

His own record is obviously padded with fake wins as well, and him being the promoter in all of those fights, in a state that has no official commission... Well... You can see why I believe it was always going to be fake, just to make Morrison look legitimate when he was essentially as harmless as a puppy.

Interesting, I didn't know the detailes, I thought it was a staged Muay Thai fight from the beginning, but there were attempts to organise a genuine boxing bout.
