"I have no excuses. He was the better man tonight." That is class.
Morrison was such a humble guy. I could watch him throw that vicious left every day.
Have you ever watched the "great British boxer" Henry Cooper? He had a vicious left hook too that put Cassius Clay (Muhammid Ali on his butt!
@@richardbarton6146No one cares about British fighters. Sorry mate 😂
Tyson Fury? Lennox Lewis? and the great Henry Cooper?@@Godshonestruth
@@richardbarton6146 I was joking. Legends mate. List goes on and on
he had aids and risked every body in the ring he was horrible
Morrison fights like every man would like to fight, tough as hell,
Wow!! Morrison is highly skilled, fearless knock-out artist.
Glad to see more videos on Tommy. Keep it up BLTV
I thought Ruddock was going to beat Morrison easy, but I was overwhelmed to see that Morrison was a match for Ruddock.
Tommy was an amazing talent both inside and outside the ring. Such a crying shame his career and life ended as it did. 😢 RIP Tommy.
Tommys left hook was a thing of beauty. This was a homerun shot to change the game. Bert Sugar and another commentator did the play by play for another station, and when Tommy spun Razor with the counter left and dropped him. The commentator yelled "Oh Shit" live on air.
Tommys left hook was not a punch, it was a bomb. He was somewhat of another Rocky Marciano
Think just Joe Frazier had a better left hook than The Duke
One of Tommies greatest fights
THE KING 🤴 HAS RETURNED
So right😊
Inject BLTV content into my veins, nothing on youtube compares
What about chun li fart compilation?
Tommy was a Beast
The goats back!!!
no other boxing channel compares.
Man I would love if you covered more of Tommy Morrison on this channel! Man was a spectacle in the ring and despite his death, many still remember and talk about him today.
Tommy had a crap ton of power, but a glass chin. RIP
Love it.... what a slugger Tommy was.. Great boxer!
Always loved Tommy Morrison class act and a great left Hook
Holy shit ! That left was freaking devastating. The Duke was one tough motherf$#ker.
Tommy vs Tyson a shame never happened.
Those lefts!
That left hook was devastating.
Razor Ruddock was a scary dude
Tommy "machine" Gunn!! 😂🥊🥊
Tommy was an absolute terror in his prime, had he kept his head focused he could have given Mike Tyson a run for his money, not neccesarily saying he would have beat him but Francois Botha was outboxing Tyson before he got knocked out, Tyson in the 90's was a different Tyson and I can't help to think what could have been if he didn't have problems with substance abuse and drinking. Great style and to my knowledge the first native american HW champion throughout history, he actually fought what I think was the 2nd best native american HW in history Joe Hipp, where he broke his jaw and fought through the pain, if you guys wanna do another video on Tommy I think that fight would be a good one to cover, for my money that's Tommy's toughest fight, broke his jaw and both hands yet still fought through it and KO'd Joe Hipp.
Problems with substance abuse and drinking.........That sums up Tyson and Morrison, both not strong enough mentally to maintain the self discipline a great fighter needs.
Tyson in his Prime would SMOKE Tommy and all of you pointing to their fight in common Ruddock, Ruddock was interviewed somewhere, he said his chin was never the same after his 2 fights with Tyson
@@leonardharris9678 Tyson avoided Bowe Tua Morrison Foreman Ibeabuchi Mercer both Klitschko's Briggs Mcall Rahman even Moorer etc...preferred names as McNeely Mathis McBride Francis.
I would say that was or is top left hook I every seen in a heavy weight bout .. great fight they both went after it I'm 70 and you just don't see boxing like the just monster slug feast .... Morrison could have ruled for long career if partying hadn't started controlling his world ..
His scariest opponent was mercer and lewis. Ruddock had already been obliterated by lewis and 2 losses to tyson.
Tommy never gloated like Ali. He was all about getting the job done. No flash just good defence and waited for a opening to strike.
Damn that was a pretty fight. That’s the kind of fight I want to see.
tommy morrison fights like a created slugger from fight night just straight HANDS
Rip
That was 1 of Tommy's best left hook ! It hit like a cannon.
Man that left hook.
Withsteroids????😂😂😂😂
Absolute cannon of a left hook.
Razor looks a little bit old and heavy at this time.
Ruddock always had a weird ability of just getting up no matter how vicious a knock down was, Tommy Morrison literally shut off his physics and rag dolled him in that knock down, yet he got up. It's weird, man.
Tommy Gun was tired of living in Rocky's shadow and went on to become Tommy" the Duke" Morrison and had a successful career. 😅 Hahaha Too bad we never saw a match between Tommy and Tyson.
I would've rather seen David Tua and Morrison.
Still think Tommy would have dropped Lennox if he had been 100%- sadly hiv + drugs/ drink and womanising took his strength , speed and legs . Nobody had that left hook before or since - it was like the grim reapers sieve!
TOM MORRISON IS BEAST MODE TO ME HE IS MY FAVORITE BOXER OF ALL TIME I THINK HE'S BETTER THAN TYSON EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BEING TOMMY MORRISON IS HUMBLE TOMMY MORRISON IS WHO I WATCH WHEN I GO TO HIT THE IRON 💪💪
Battle of the bomb throwers. Well done Duke, rest in peace.
Tommy looked as though he may have been on the juice.
His fights were interesting because he had a massive heart but kinda weak chin.. His form was impressive tho.. He did get very lucky with this one catching RR coming in..
Morrison’s scariest opponent was Foreman
I don't think so, at this point Foreman was that man who needed a miracle to become world Champion (but delivered ^^). Lennox was the man you needed a miracle to take the belts from. Maybe as strong as Foreman but more skilled, with higher ring IQ. At least more than young Foreman, later he had nice plans but imo he relied too much on his power and chin to stand up if the plan didn't work. Lennox in the other hand could switch to another plan and execute it perfectly if the first one didn't work, I didn't see that really often, that takes a lot of skills. In the Mercer fight for example, he went from his usual outside/jab plan to inside brawler/throw 600+ punches plan, that impressed me a lot. How the hell are you supposed to beat such a beast 🤔
The aids was already eating away at Tommy's stamina levels you could tell in the ray Mercer fight Tommy already was gassed after the round he knocked down Mercer the next round ray new Tommy was spent and he totally wiped out Tommy on the ropes its hard to say how good Tommy could have been if he did not aquire the aids virus
He never had the hoax disease AIDS.
lol dude... Aids is the final stage of "Hiv" prior to have done it's damage. I think your referring to HIV in general, which was some evidence that he had it since 89 ~ 92. He has bin hiding it for a long time until the first tests... Later he got in complete denial and even to this day his wife trying to get a payment through lawsuits for making bogus claims the HIV was never there. Delusion to it's fullest.
Thankyou, im5111 220 and white. I could of made something.
Imagine Joe Frazier vs Tommy Morrison, a battle of left hooks. Joe probably wins pretty easily but who knows ? I see them both going down !!
Styles make fights. Issue with Morrison is that he can’t take a hit. Joe can take A LOT of hits. Joe can punch hard and Morrison punches even harder most likely. But Morrison wouldn’t KO Frazier whereas Frazier would KO Morrison easy since Morrison has a glass jaw.
@@sheldoncooper0 That's a bit harsh, Tommy only lost 3 of 52 fights. If he had a glass jaw he would have lost more often. Overrated Tyson got KOed more than Tommy. I do agree against an All-time Great like Joe Frazier Tommy would be overwhelmed bit I wouldn't be surprised to see Joe go down once in the first couple rounds. Joe by KO 6.
@@michaelmohrle1773 chin is not how many times you lost by KO. It’s how you were KO. Tyson was never knocked dow. Let alone knocked out from just the first big punch of the fight. Morrison was k locked down from just one big punch by Ruddock. Tussock landed tons of huge bombs on Mike and never even got close to knocking him down let alone out.
@@sheldoncooper0 Tyson was never knocked down ? Are you kidding me ?
@@michaelmohrle1773 learn to read I explained clearly the difference in number of losses by KO vs how one is KOed.
I love the fact he was repping kansas city. Especially when he got clipped against mercer and bent
If usada were then as it is now, Morrison will not reach even gates of arena😂. He was on all kind of steroids which was availabla at that times😅
I've been in alot of fights,STREET fights I mean,,,,and every time when the guy I'm fighting gets into a boxing stance or starts throwing boxing punches,I KNOW!!! and I'd tell myself,I NEED TO WRESTLE THIS GUY BEFORE HE KNOCKS ME THE FCUK OUT,,,,I've always had more concern fighting a boxer then any other fighting style,,,,...so that's always been my style,if they wanna box,DONT!! Get them on the ground and dont let them up........
Tommy gun
RAZOR RUDDOCK wasn’t Tommy’s “scariest opponent”, LENNOX LEWIS was. Lewis knocked Ruddock out in two rounds, and he didn’t have to drag himself off the floor and win by a controversial stoppage, like Tommy did.
When Lewis did go to floor (without his pain blockers) he didn't get back up.
Lewis was a manufactured fraud.
@@amonsurtur9375 Morrison couldn’t do it! But LEWIS knocked HIM down FOUR TIMES! 😂😂😂
@@patrickbrowne4606 them were the fakiest knockdowns I ever seen. That fight was totally thrown, and Lewis is a manufactured champion. Boxing can be pathetically and obviously scripted, if not always predetermined in its fraudulent outcome. That fight was pathetically fake.
@@amonsurtur9375 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Morrison was a juiced up spoilt brat that got his upcomings
Morrison is nothing but a bum and he got a fight with that great boxer.
Sorry, Tommy was all hat , with no cattle !
morrison should have never been boxing . he had aids so not sure how he passed blood tests ? $$$$$$ under the table
Stop too soon.
His licence was revoked after testing positive on HIV. It's a blood sport. You can't practice that with HIV in your veins.
I always was a fan of Tommy since rocky 5 but he never quite reached the heights I thought he was capable of.. Still a very humble and respectful man and may he rest in peace...
Think a fight Morrison vs Tyson would have been the battle of the millenium, both stepped every time on the ring to kill or be killed, in my opinion between Iron mike and The Duke there was not a huge difference in power, aggression, skills, killer istinct, they both beat Ruddock after bloody crashes..well anyway Ruddock never put Tyson's ass on the ground as he did with Morrison
