    George Foreman often said he never changed his style for an opponent. But his opponents would often change their style in order to try to beat him.

    The Morrison fight was definitely an example of that.

    Foreman was given something, somewhere he was robbed.
    When everything is added up and taken away - it turns out just.
    But I don't agree with that, but each fight should be scored individually.
    The only thing I think is that you should have added Morrison to the list.

    I didn't add Morrison because it wasn't a controversial decision, it was a clear cut easy win for Morrison.

    I also didn't understand your first paragraph sorry.

    It was a clear win for Morrison but he was gassed towards the end.

    I thought I'd bump this now I've scored all of Foreman's competitive decisions in the 90s.

    The Morrison fight was also closer and more competitive than I remembered.

    I posted in 2022 that i thought it was a clear cut easy win but it certainly wasn't after watching it again.

    George Foreman vs Tommy Morrison

    1 Morrison
    2 Morrison
    3 Foreman
    4 Foreman
    5 Morrison
    6 Morrison
    7 Morrison
    8 Foreman
    9 Morrison
    10 9-9 Foreman won the round but had a point deducted.
    11 Morrison
    12 Foreman

    115-112 Morrison

    I thought this fight was a bit closer than i originally remembered.

    Foreman was very accurate with the jab and was able to land single shots. The issue was he was never able to really pin down Morrison and land the follow up punches.

    Morrison who's known to have a suspect chin actually impressed me with the punches he took. Foreman did land some solid punches on Morrison and he was never really wobbled once.

    What's also amazing is that if this had been a 15 round fight the 44 year old Foreman possibly could've scored a late stoppage. As Morrison was starting to run a bit in the last few rounds and was starting to blow hard.

    But all in all not a bad fight at all especially after watching Fury's horrible comeback fight. Even watching only a decent 90's Heavyweight fight like this seems to age alot better.

    I had Stewart at a draw and Briggs+Morrison winning. I never watched the others all the way through.
