Tommy had skills! He actually fought like a short fighter. He was 6'2" I think. He fought on the inside and he threw short quick compact punches. He had one of the best lefthooks! It was fast and hard!
@@nicksilvestro6307 And Joe Louis-- one of the all time great champions. Larry Holmes was a great Heavyweight champion so was Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali. I'd rank Lennox Lewis above Tommy Morrison as a champion for sure. I love and respect Tommy Morrison too so don't get me wrong. He was a hard puncher for sure.
The thing is Tommy was just starting to bloom when they nailed him on the fake AIDS diagnos. I mean this dude only lost like 3 out of 52 fights and had one of the highest knockout ratios in boxing.
listen man i loved tommy more then any boxer at the time . but he was sick with Hiv later died with complications with aids. his fking trashy crackhead girlfriend put him in denial and he left his medicines . and died of complications related to aids.
Marcellus Brown was very tall, 7' as mentioned by Al Bernstein, but he did not take a punch very well. Morrison did not even hit him with his best left hook and he still couldn't take it.
Yeah, and the first knockdown was from a rather mediocre looking jab, I think perhaps his own rotation added to the impact and lack of balance as Brown swung, but still it was a surprising knockdown.
I agree. I truly appreciate how good he was and wish he had been more disciplined, because he had room to grow. But, I also agree that Tyson would have probably ended his career as he was.
Mighta been closer than people think..Tyson was already declining badly..his head movement and D was not as good as Tommy's at that point..And look at the Razor Ruddock fights.Not picking Tommy tho.Tysons chin.
Morrison never trained properly, couldn't fight backing up or hurt, had his hands full with journeyman fighters like 'Truth' Williams and Joe Hipp ...spent too much time shooting roids, getting implants and looking at himself in the mirror instead road work and sparring ...yeah, he was just great. And is it any wonder he ended up like he did?
That ref was a bastard taking away a point for holding. Many fighters do some holding. It’s illegal but part of the game and accepted. Get off Brown’s back. The ref cost him to be knocked out. He might have survived. Jab and hold. Ali did a lot of that. Bonecrusher Smith did 1000x more holding with Tyson.
Agree ,that was bullshit I've seen Lennox clinch more Ali in the 70's clinch more Smith and James quick Tillis clinch more.. clinching is a part of boxing not hugging constantly but clinching has definitely always been a part of boxing...you can't clinch for long or start out in the clinch but from what I've seen you can box and clinch ..Tyson and evander clinched more than that
That was the best picture I could get from those old videotapes when making the transfer. I believe I was the first to upload this fight to UA-cam, and I have not seen anyone else post a better quality version yet. Tracking only does so much for these 80's era VHS tapes that have in some cases been recorded over several times. Picture quality varies.
I never watched this before, and had never even heard of Brown. It looked like he had some skills, and fought in a Kronk style. The dude had no heart, though, as evidenced by his knockout via left jab. He went down pretty easily the first time, and did not look hurt.
You can't really go on knockout percentage alone. Muhammad Ali probably didn't have a KO percentage any higher than that and yet he was able to beat some really hard, brutal punchers like Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Cleveland Williams, George Foreman by out boxing them and beating them with speed so it can be done. Brown just didn't have the skill to out box Morrison and he certainly couldn't out slug him. The best that he could hope for is to utilize his height/reach advantage to keep Morrison at bay and hopefully (catch up with a good punch or combination (which Morrison was prone to) or out point him for a decision. Neither of those happened. Morrison did what he had to do which was go after him and crowd him to neutralize that height advantage.
To all the haters. Just like MANY fights especially this one Morrison got hit MANY times in the chin! So much for the glass chin theory.Watch all his fights up to Forman and you will see that's false!
You guys are crazy comparing Tyson to Morrison. Stop doing that. They are two different individuals with their own style, both are good so let's drop that.
Over the years,Al Bernstein,a fine broadcaster....has an annoying habit of actually "rooting" for one fighter...this is highly unprofessional....to fight fans....most boxing fans are keenly aware of what is going on at all times..so Al insults the huge audience. Al also talks too much...this is not radio.....and there is only one Don Dunphy.
White Irish Giant yeah.many announcers are guilty of it. Nowadays the likes of Kellerman, Jones or Ward do it obviously. Kellerman will drop a "oh the other guy lands a jab" every once in awhile. Another thing was the boxing world wasn't ready for a great white fighter. Especially one who didn't train hard
Of course Morrison was gonna look beating mostly journeymen. He beat contenders. Really that's it. And faded ex-champions. Morrison was over 40 fights here and still fighting this level of opposition
Unfortunately but I think the drugs really took his life, he could have lived with HIV and be a movie star or something but instead he wanted to stop taking meds n chose drugs.
I still love to watch these old fights! RIP Tommy! You were one of the Greatest!
I think the same. I probably seen these vids 2 or 3 times each
Tommy was like a shooting star burned bright but fast....RIP.
wholeheartedly agree.....
WHAT A HUMBLE, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT FIGHTER=YOU'RE THE MAN BROTHER👍👍👍 TOMMY MORRISON IS AN ALL TIME GREAT=PERIOD=
RIP Tommy what a great left hook
RIP Tommy....miss seeing you box bro
TOMMY COULD KNOCK OUT ANY MAN AT ANY TIME=& DID SO CONVINCINGLY=LONG LIVE HIS LEGACY=RIP BROTHER👍👍👍

That`s the way my girlfriend likes it,fast and hard !
@@CUNDUNDO your boyfriend you mean?
@@user-kq3ch8mq1x No I didn`t mean that I wrote girlfriend sorry to disappoint you hope you find the man of your life soon !
You can tell he was inspired by Tyson.
@Iceman Cometh I can definitely see that.
Morrison could have been one of the best heavyweights if he was more disciplined and wasn't a party boy. Oh well.
Such a shame
There was no fixing his chin though.
@@dr.andersonsghost4315 it wasn't his chin,it was his stamina.
Would’ve should’ve could’ve.
This is all fate my friend please,you must understand.
Tommy was on steroids, and he had average stamina and skills
Tommy legendary champion
Tommy you always great
Marcellus was doing great then the fight started
That left hook at 14:17 is one of the best I seen him ever throw.
When people think great lefthooks, they think of Smoking Joe Frazier, Iron Mike Tyson, and Tommy "The Duke" Morrison
So true.Add Dempsey to that list.But Tommy's left hook probably the goat.
BROWN GOT K.O.D BY 2 STRAIGHT LEFT JABS=THAT'S UNHEARD OF=TOMMY MORRISON IS AN ALL TIME GREAT=RIP BROTHER👍
Thanks for the post, b rings back memories
That left hook!
Marcellus Brown one of the tallest heavyweights in history at 7' tall
The straight left was pathetic on power. How did he fall to that?
@@rohe4077 He must have really been a pussy to fall to that punch.
@@shadowboxin6012
Naa, not to the extreme on my thought.
@@rohe4077 How many boxers crumble like that from a jab? And it wasnt even a power jab? 😂
@@shadowboxin6012
People that would happen to are those that have preexisting conditions. Kidney problems. Aids. Etc.
YIPPEE=ANOTHER DIRTY FIGHTER K.O.D BY THE GREAT TOMMY MORRISON😁🥳🎉 TOMMY=ALL TIME HEAVYWEIGHT LEGEND=WORD=👍
Brown should have been on the ball court, not the boxing ring.
pretorious700 his son is Jaylen Brown 3rd pick Boston Celtics
That's Jaylen Brown Dad NBA All Star ☘️
thank you Mogh.... I like to watch TM and hadn't seen this fight before.....
Tommy morrison and Mike tyson are the Best boxing champions of all ages
I like them both but they're only the Sluggers , there's others too. How can you forget Rocky Marciano he never lost
@@nicksilvestro6307 And Joe Louis-- one of the all time great champions. Larry Holmes was a great Heavyweight champion so was Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali. I'd rank Lennox Lewis above Tommy Morrison as a champion for sure. I love and respect Tommy Morrison too so don't get me wrong. He was a hard puncher for sure.
Is he still a legend after mike japed that woman and punched his wife's face in?
Tommy Morrison was a monster. However, this fight had Greg Louganis all over it.
We always gonna have you in our 💞💞💞Tommy. ..from 🇮🇹Mexico with 💖🙋
TOMMY 🔫
RIP real champ 🥊🥊
HANDSOME Boxer ever 👌
Brown was in pain. Tommy punched with power.
Sure did. Tommy was very strong.💪
RIP Tommy
Left hook like no other
CHECK THIS=TOMMY MORRISONS TOUGHEST OPPONENT WAS HIMSELF, HE NEVER GOT THE CREDIT HE DESERVES#RIP BROTHER👍
If only Tommy had dedicated himself to the sport...
I Agree so sad he abused himself but he had help with the abuse he was feared and decieved by Don King
The Duke!!
El mejor sigue siendo Tomy morrison por siempre...
Morrison makes a come back
The thing is Tommy was just starting to bloom when they nailed him on the fake AIDS diagnos. I mean this dude only lost like 3 out of 52 fights and had one of the highest knockout ratios in boxing.
Hold up... Fake? His license was revoked because of that so it had to be real, am I missing something?
plejab...
His death fake too?
Yep
Don King was afraid a white boxer would ko tyson. They couldnt take that gamble

tommy is the best
Beat a 7 footer!🥊
Tommi legend the best champion..
👍👍
The duke! RIP
Best left hook ;)
The Ref was Full of Ish. Clinching is not holding.
Morrison was being outscored up until the point deduction
Normie.
Marcellus Brown was very tall, 7' as mentioned by Al Bernstein, but he did not take a punch very well. Morrison did not even hit him with his best left hook and he still couldn't take it.
He should have played basketball 🏀
Yeah, and the first knockdown was from a rather mediocre looking jab, I think perhaps his own rotation added to the impact and lack of balance as Brown swung, but still it was a surprising knockdown.
Marcellus Brown should have been playing basketball.@@danyoutube7491
Brown looks afraid of Morrison.
Tragic - great boxer ruined by partying, alcohol and women. great potential never realised
Wish Morrison vs Tyson happened....
Me too! Two of my favorite boxers of that era. I think Tyson would have annihilated Morrison though.
tommy would have got hurt
I agree. I truly appreciate how good he was and wish he had been more disciplined, because he had room to grow. But, I also agree that Tyson would have probably ended his career as he was.

Holding Trey @ 11:53?
Tommy didn’t care that the guy was 7’ tall. I would have ran away
Well yeah, rick.
You're a pussified pansy pissan.
morrison is the best
At what ?
7 foot tall??? Jesus, guy was ridiculously tall!!!
Tommy was a decent fighter who fell short every time he stepped up. Started relying on steroids around the time of the Mercer fight

Shove your tracking. Please.
Thanks for the free fight
The Duke. 💪
11:52 trey?
Obviously yes...
Listen to the jock-talker announcer lecturing us in history & stats while we’re trying to watch fight. They need real boxers to be announcers
You just ShutTheFuckUp and listen. Maybe you'll learn something if you quit jacking your jaw. You little dweeb.
I never watched this before, and had never even heard of Brown. It looked like he had some skills, and fought in a Kronk style. The dude had no heart, though, as evidenced by his knockout via left jab. He went down pretty easily the first time, and did not look hurt.
Marcellus Brown had a K O ratio of 68 % not good enough to beat Morrison
indeed!!
Brown should of tried to be a basketball player with that height, boxing just wasn't for him!
IF MARCELLOS THRU A QUICK RIGHT HAND BEHIND THAT JAB IT WOULD HAVE CHANGED THIS FIGHT BUT HIS RIGHT WAS GLUED TO HIS JAW SMH LOL
You can't really go on knockout percentage alone.

Wide shoulders vs narrow shoulders
Hmmm Morrison in spite of his power never did learn to box and his cardiovascular was suspect as well.
Roy Bernardo
LOL.....The ONLY suspect part of this guys game was his "chin"
However, he never KO'd any of his MANY victims with his "chin"..lol
Watch the morrison foreman fight and think about what you just said
@@silkysmoove8010 ua-cam.com/video/J86Xfbf1a6E/v-deo.html
Tommy had heart, he could have took Tyson
Could've took Tyson?
To what? Jack in the Box?
@In Actis Esto Volucris Just yes
I agree
To all the haters. Just like MANY fights especially this one Morrison got hit MANY times in the chin! So much for the glass chin theory.Watch all his fights up to Forman and you will see that's false!
He was a stiff, kenny.
And you're embarrassing yourself.
Stop.
David tua had the chin out of the 3 left hookers ..prime David tua takes Tyson and Morrison's punches early then beats them both in later rounds
Kenneth, watch Morrison vs Bentt and tell me he didn't have a weak chin.
just wanna point out that the ring was unusually small in favor of morrison
Going down from a Tommy Morrison jab lol! guy wanted to quit early to get home in time for Columbo repeats
RIP champ
Jaylens dad took a dive
What does Marcellus Brown look like?
Marcellus Brown doesn't want to be fucked by anybody except Tommy Morrison.
Enlighten me.
Oh, I do want a ford thunderbird
Guy wasn't in shape, tired after 2
12:23 Tommy's Wife or girlfriend?
wife.
7 footer came in for Dunk and was blocked by Tommy and was counted out-lucky it wasn't Shak!
You that's Jaylen Brown father from the Celtics right ???
Morrison he had great.left hook.but not great finisher like tyson.but definitely he is natural heavyweight
Morrison wasn't a bad finisher. He wasn't as good a finisher as Tyson though. Morrison's problems were his weak chin and poor defense.
48-3. 42 by knockout. Terrible finisher. Just terrible.
You guys are crazy comparing Tyson to Morrison. Stop doing that. They are two different individuals with their own style, both are good so let's drop that.
wow thanks !!!
Brown a math teacher sued the duke after the fight for being hurt and missing work .
Hilarious. He's apparently not a very smart math teacher, apparently. It's called "assumption of risk," big guy, and it defeats liability.
I hear that i geuss he thought boxing was low risk lol. Maybe golf Would have been a smarter choice .Thanks for comments .
+Gary Rice As it turned out, he just needed to know how to count to 10.
Nice lol.
really??? what a prick he shouldn't have been in there then

POW baby! Out of there!!
Aqui mas veterano pero con pegada i con coraje
They won't show brown an mike Tyson when they fought, was quick! But y is it not on here
Once he get u with that left hook, ur done!!!!
Tommy you to heavy hope you been working out real hard
I believe he got medieval on his ass there.
Tommy was great, but no match for Tyson.
not the best ive seen the duke I liked brown he had a little pop I bet he had 0 amateur carreer a little work for brown he could be a good boxer.

Jaylen Brown Dad lol
That referee penalised the wrong boxer.
And u need to just stop with all of that foolishness. It's an old fight jezze
7' holy shit
He was a legend but HIV ruined his career.
Unfortunately but I think the drugs really took his life, he could have lived with HIV and be a movie star or something but instead he wanted to stop taking meds n chose drugs.
Tommy is healthy and fighting against black boxers who eats wastes food.
Tommy was not good in this fight
Marcellus brown no good at basketball?
Tyson would have ko'd Morrison
The first knock down was a dive.
Proof?
