I've always been a fan of his Dad, Tommy Morrison. Tommy Morrison was a different sort of guy, but a likable guy, who was as "alpha male" as they come and ended up contracting HIV and dying (presumably from banging prostitutes) not too long ago. It's funny but I guess understandable that his sons would also end up doing pro boxing.

Saw the Lippe Morrison-Latimore fight on the weekend, and well done to Trey. He was fighting a guy who had much more boxing experience than he did (Latimore had 51 amateur fights to Trey's 0, Latimore had been in with some decent names such as Breazale as an amateur), but because of his natural power and talent Trey was able to win. Well done to him.

It can be very hard to make it in boxing with limited amateur experience though, nevermind no amateur experience like Trey. Amateur experience isn't everything but it is a lot and because of that, Trey will likely have to do some "on the job" learning. His management team would do well to move him extremely slowly, and he needs rounds. It's not always good to be knocking guys out in 1 round because eventually there's going to come times when he needs to go 8, 10, or even 12 rounds. I'd suggest matching him up with some solid journeymen that could give him rounds but have limited chance of actually winning the fight. He needs to build himself up slowly, get 30 or even 35 or 40 fights under his belt, gaining rounds and experience against journeymen type guys. Then when he's ready, say 3 or 4 years from now go for the title. It's very difficult but it can be done (that is, winning a title with no amateur experience).

I think Trey would have been very good had he had an amateur background, it's not everything but it does tend to help.

I would love to be the journeyman fighter to give him some rounds he did look pretty solid and good win but Bobby Dobbs knows how to get a hold of me I fight next weekend against Al Sands but will be ready for another fight the following month if needed I am nearing retirement so I would like to test all the prospects I can before I retire

not much

Looked better than the last time I saw him but needs good management to get anywhere, pretty standard heavyweight living on the name, don't blame him make a few quid.

He's improved a lot

Only reason HIV killed Tommy is because he refused to believe that the disease is real thing. If he would have taken the meds he would still have few decades to live.

The boy seems to have some natural gifts for the game. With good coach he might go far. But he still has long way to go. And i will be surprised if he makes it to the top.

I already noticed him last year, without following his dad btw. For me he's like Patrick Korte, a bit to short for the top, but an excellent yourneymen. I'd like to see him vs Tyrone Spong over time.
