Barry 'The Bizness' Morrison

Good read. Barry Morrison posts here sometimes - sure he will approve!

Welcome to the brit forum by the way Reilly - spotted your "new poster" thread but it got moved to the ESB Lounge and I never post there....

:good

 

You can obviously hold your own - just as well as the lounge can be like going into the lions den for a new poster!

 

good reading:good :good :good

 

Cool Reilly, good read.

Where about in Edinburgh are you? Im up Fountainbridge.

 

Damn fine interview reilly:good

Always glad to read the scottish fighters views as I am a scottish boxing fan first & foremost nowadays, the rest of the world can take care of itself

The only thing that annoyed me though was Baz saying he would win a european title at best, he was good enough to beat lenny Daws who was being touted as the future 'Ricky Hatton' by SKY before Barry beat his ass, so the bizness should be aiming higher than that.

Hes got the body shots to hurt anyone, in fact Barrys ferocious body punching reminds me of a certain Micky Ward. So Baz should be aiming higher than euro level.

Beating David Barnes will be another massive scalp, just keep on him Baz, cos hes dead at the weight & will crumble if you keep the pressure on. Kick his ass!!!

 

I will be gutted if Barry doesn't do the job on Barnes for one reason or another.

He will though, so no problem.

 

I don't remember anyone thinking of Daws as potential World level(although I didn't see the Morrison v Daws fight so maybe it happened there) , and he certainly isn't .

Morrison is realistic , he struggles badly with fighter who have good lateral movement and a good jab . His body punching while good is no where near the level of someone like Ward and if you asked me what's the biggest thing a fighter of Morrison's ability could win it's the European title , so imo he has things spot on .

Do you really reckon he'd beat Bradley , Malignaggi , Kotelnik , Torres or Hatton ?


With that said best of luck to Morrison , I hope he beats Barnes .

 

Enjoyed that. Thanks.


Barry seems a decent kid and is a very good domestic boxer.

 

As a biased Scot, I'm sure that Barry has the ability to win this one. I'm looking forward to it as I think this will be a fairly even contest that could be determined by Barry's work rate and use of body shots. Good luck from sunny Renfrewshire!

P.S. Good interview by the way. I liked the honesty about trying to better himself; this is what makes boxing great - it delivers such an opportunity - even if it's just to get up aff yir a**e to train a bit. Takes kids off street corners, give the exercise buzz and turns them into decent pleasant members of society... blah blah blah. IMHO and sorry if this has turned into a bit of a sermon.

 

good read mate

what do you think of the man on the left?
