Tommy Morrison doc. Sex, drugs, and knockouts.

Tommy was a hell of a fighter, against foreman he was a slick boxer, and he could punch. Seemed like a cool guy too

 

Saw this the other day, good mini documentary.

 

Some of those hooks he was hitting Foreman with were the same that had KOd a lot of his previous opponents.

 

If he was fighting for years with HIV it's a miracle he never infected any of his opponents.

 

The documentary claims he had it as early as 1989.

 

It's not a miracle at all. It's the most likely outcome.

 

There was a bit of panic station s I recall when he faced Lewis ,with a bit of Morrison s blood about .Headlines like Lewis in Emergency HIV test ,that kind of thing .But really ,what's the actual chance of it being transmitted like that ?

 

Oh there's def a risk but not sure quite how high it is ,not sure if any disease passed via blood has been picked up in a fight .But always a first I suppose for some unlucky fella .

 

The eye is basically a barrier. I don't think you'd get it that way from just one drop.

 

I don't known of a single case in any contact sport.

 

Same here ,I believe that when the aids virus is exposed to air it dies More or less straight away so be extremely unlikely to transmit that way.

 

Nevertheless it's a risk and it's why those who are HIV positive are banned from participating in combat sports in most jurisdictions.
