Tommy Morrison vs Corey Williams

Post by HomicideHenry »

This wasnt a boxing match. This was a hybrid rules boxing match, with kicks and knees allowed throughout. And ironically enough it looks like a fix, meaning the kayo was a complete fake and a cheap dive at that.

The fight will be deleted from boxrec. I wish at least one news outlet would've mentioned the fight was under modified muay thai rules (whatever that hell that means).

Yeah, its a sad thing. Good thing I informed you guys about it. Tommy's an alright guy, but this isnt boxing, this was theatre. If he had that deep a tie in MMA, he should have stuck to it.

Agreed. Initially the fight was marked as unsanctioned (which is correct, there is no commission in Wyoming so Boxrec was never going to get an actual commission report), but ultimately the video evidence tells the tale.

It goes down as an exhibition, least here it should. Reminds me much of Lamar Clark's bouts against pro wrestlers, where he fought under modified rules.

If anything, it will get a mention in Morrison's wiki page ... similar to Mike Tyson's legendary four round exhibition with Corey Sanders.
