That ole Dook was a hell-of-a-guy. He aint never met a drug he didn't like, and never met a willing sexual partner he'd say no to, and that is what did him in. A.I.D.S. That is a fact.
His punching power that he carried in the ring if you listin you could hear the sound of his punches tommy morrison had the best left hook in the world people say he was a one trick pony all he had was the left hook he was good at blocking punches that he saw coming and i dont know if anyone ever noticed this he had a dangerous right uppercut
His opponent Brian Scott here died not long after this fight.I could be wrong but heard it was from a drug overdose.The big man could hit and caught Tommy a few times.RIP to both these men.😢
I notice a comment posted by GQ41178 which he says "Tommy is already shot by this point". I've seen him make this same statement on a few other Morrison fights which took place after his loss to Michael Bentt. This is not an accurate statement Morrison was in a rebuilding stage of his career. He took some fights against lesser opponents and didn't look the best in the world but 3 fights later he fought Lennox Lewis. Although he lost to Lewis he did make it through 6 rds which is as good as any of the contenders which faced Lewis at this time, some were former and future champions. Bruno 7 rds, Jackson 8, Butler 5, Akinwande 5, Golota 1, Briggs 5, Grant 2, Botha 2, Tyson 8, Vitali Klitscho 6.Go to remember Lewis was the best in the division at this time and one of the all-time greats.
@Jeremo Brown Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right Tommy probably had HIV since the late 80's like you said he lived a wild life. But you can see how quickly he ages from this fight to the ruddock fight he looked like he aged 10 years. He's always been underrated and underappreciated Tommy was a very good fighter. RIP There's a video about his having HIV on a video on here called the dark side of boxing or something like that.
Klitschko would’ve beat him if not for the unfortunate injury stoppage, which Klitschko vehemently protested. Lewis then dodged Klitschko for the remaining few years of his career, retiring soon after.
@@crypastesomemore8348 WTF are you talking about Lewis retired less than 1 year after the Klitchko fight. He was almost 39 years old at that time he retired. He had nothing left to prove and knew when it was time to spot.

Morrison made a HUGE improvement between the Toia fight and this one. For the Toia fight he didn't move much. He looked heavy in his footwork and his head/body movement (he would have been an easy target for a top fighter). In this fight he was lighter, moving better, and avoiding punches. Yeah, he got a little sloppy just before he knocked Scott down, but for most of the fight he looked a lot better than the previous fight. Morrison was really close to being an all time great, but he was never able to quite put it all together. His defense was never better than mediocre, and he didn't have the best chin in the world - so when he did get hit hard he went down. I'd put him in the Top 6 or so for the 90's, but he never reached his full potential.
I think his biggest weakness was running low on energy after half way; if an opponent could get that far - yes a big IF :) - then Morrison was vulnerable.
RIP to both of these guys. Morrison and Scott both struggled with drug and alcohol problems, both big white guys who lived in Kansas City, both started their careers undefeated with a bunch of KOs, both died in their early 40’s. Both could have had much better careers, Morrison especially could have and should have had a legacy on a level similar to Holyfield. It’s such a shame that he isn’t a household name today. He was such a damn good boxer. Moral of the story is be smart with the ladies, don’t drink too much and stay the fuck away from hard drugs

I don't expect either one of them to amount to much. They both started late and haven't faced any type of top competition. By the time their dad had 4 years of pro fights he had 30 bouts and was facing ranked guys,
Grew up in the same town as Bryan Scott. He was in phenomenal shape, but was doing steroids to get it. At this point, he stopped doing it and was doing lines of coke every night
@That Retroholic I served time in the Missouri State Penitentiary with Bam Bam. Nice guy, but he was indeed dangerous with his hands. I fought amateur and faced some pretty tough guys but I wouldn't have wanted to fight Brian. Just watching him hit the heavy bag was something to behold. I was saddened to hear of his passing, he was a friendly guy who happened to be a dangerous puncher. He fought Ray Mercer and Buster Douglas as well.
@@trollgoodman7808 he's been passed away for years now so I guess he wouldn't mind me telling the story, at least the way he told it to me. It's stupid, which makes it sound pretty authentic.

He was drunk and these kids were trying to play ball in the street or something (remember, this is Kansas City we are talking about) and there was a tree branch that had fell that was blocking the way so Brian decided to move it and when he threw it up in the yard to get it out of street he hit one of the kids with it and the kids mother freaked out and called the police. At least that's the way I heard it. I didn't know him super well but he didn't really seem to be close to anybody in there and we had a connection through boxing.
legendary legendary legendary champ tommy the duke morrison and legendary legendary legendary iron Mike tyson are the Best boxers and boxing champions of all ages
Sorry 3 fights later was when Morrison fought a draw against Purity who beat prospects Calvin Jones, Mark Hulstrum (who was undefeated at the time) and contenders Phil Jackson, Jorge Luis Gonzales, Joe Hipp, Wladimir Klitschko (who is now the undisputed heavyweight champ). Morrison didn't fight Lewis until after he beat Razor Ruddock in 1995. So my point is Morrison did have something left.
"Terrible technique by Tommy...they're going to HAVE to fix that! Two seconds later: "The fight is over! Tommy Morrison by KO!!!" They were right, seriously. But the Duke still have one hell of a career.
@@trollgoodman7808 Thats something that Dempsey and Patterson did alot too and Frazier did from time to time. Its how he got clocked and almost dropped against Ramos. Attacking and then when an opponent gets toward the ropes they stop the attack and lay on the outside of the punches. Its a fairly easy mistake to make for a pressure fighter and it takes lots of training and experience to get rid of that habit and sometimes you never get rid of it. Watch Frazier Ramos. Being a pressure fighter is the hardest type of fighter to be. You have to stay all the way inside and constantly press.
Razor Ruddock gave Mike Tyson won hell of a fight it was brutal Tommy Morrison took out Ruddock and proved him self to be one of the best fighters of all times
Слава Богу! Здравствуйте! Жаль Герцога, это была белая надежда! Классный был тяж, шикарный боец! Когда он был в ринге, скучно никому не было! Царствие Небесное! Спасибо!
He did have defence, he could slip and block shots and did so plenty of times in this fight. Some of his best knockouts/knockdowns came from counters, against a number of guys he very effectively blocked a right hand and then snapped out a left hook. He obviously isn't going to be remembered as a defensive master, and in the 2nd round of this fight he was reckless and seemed impatient to end the fight, but he had decent all round skills as far as a top level boxer goes.
That’s a good point and it’s bizarre that they had them listed both at 6’1. You could tell just by looking at them that Morrison was clearly like 3 inches shorter. That’s really unprofessional of whoever took their measurements. Like it’s so obvious they weren’t the same fucking height 😂
Gotta watch where you put that dick,nobody's gonna tell you they have HIV nobody cares, today 30 years ago, it's every man, every woman, for themselves, so it's up to every individual to keep check of themselves, RIP BROTHER, sure were one hell of a boxer
@@Shovelhook Much better chin? Not sure about that. Morrison got stopped a few times against big hitters and usually once he was already a bit gassed (he clearly had a bit of a stamina problem that he couldn't overcome throughout his career), and Tyson himself of course proved not to have the strongest chin in the division when he shipped combinations of strong, clean punches. Morrison also had decent hand speed, he could put some combinations together and his left hook was as fast as it was powerful. Where Tyson really held a big edge was his bobbing and (usually) tight defence.
I thought Scott was doing well against Morrison until the knockdown. I also thought his corner threw in the towel too early. They should have given him at least one more shot to continue. Just my opinion! 🥊
Tommy liked to stay in there and trade blows, some say it was not good way for him to fight, but it worked more times then not, they'd have to let that right hand down from the side of their heads to throw a punch then he nailed them !
I think he was being overly aggressive and reckless with his own defence at the start of the second though and he usually fought smarter than the way he did in the second round.
Tommy-the-Dook Morrison is far, far prettier than Bryan, even shaves his arm-pits, and is legally connected to The-Dook-John-Wayne. So right from the outset we know who is gonna win.
Morrison standing right in front of Scott early in the second round. Luckily for him Scott was not a more accurate puncher or he would have been KO"d the exact same way he was against Michael Bentt.
Scott fights a nearing prime Morrison then still fought guys making their debuts. Strange career arc for Scott. Scott finished his career with fights (all losses) against Douglas, Mercer and Briggs. Morrison spent a ton of his prime taking punishment from bums. His trainer(s) should be ashamed for not getting this man to defend himself. RIP.
