	This was the opening bout before the main event. Rodney Tatum, the short-statured veteran, entered the ring waving to his hometown crowd as Morgan, the tall and skinny 21-year-old newcomer looked on. Just four years earlier, Morgan's family had been decimated in a house fire. Morgan had suffered serious burns and was in a coma for months afterward. Now here he stood in the ring making his professional debut, very scarred physically and emotionally.		This was the opening bout before the main event.
