anybody ever seen moorer vs mike white?

I've got a copy of it on DVD...but I've no idea how to upload that to Youtube or Megaupload or anything...

 

Oh man, I saw snippets of this one once.

I have NEVER seen more of a height difference in a fight. What was White, seven something feet tall?

No ****.

 

Just checked, he was 6'10!

 

I've seen clips of it, including the knockdowns and stoppage, that straight left ate the giant up. Very nice execution from Moorer.

 

I may have a copy on VHS somewhere, but I'd be luck if it still plays if it's found.

I saw the fight live, on HBO. I think Lennox Lewis defeated a fighter named Levi Billups on the same card. Seem like I remember Lewis using a downward elbow strike, maybe a few, on Billups during a clinch.

White ended Moorer's ko streak, when he was the first man to take him the distance. Moorer did drop him late, maybe the final round.

 

I was mistaken then, the bit I saw was a very strong knockdown though.

 

Yes... I have a copy.... It stunk...... It went the distance, but Moorer scored a late-round knockdown..... Mike White was a gutless stiff for a guy 6' 10" tall...... Lenny Lewis won a lackluster decision over Levi Billups in the co-event..... This was back in 1991 or 1992.... It was aired by HBO......

MR.BILL:rofl

 

Sounds interesting. Post a link if any of you guys find it please. Thanks.

 

There's footage from this fight in a Moorer highlight video on Youtube.

Just search Micheal Moorer, you'll find it. Not tons of his stuff on there.

 

I just looked the fight up on boxrec, and there it says White was saved by the bell. The ref may have been moving in to call time in the footage you saw, it's been a while I've seen it.

 

i was at the fight, i know some strange facts about the fight.. i know that if the fight was not so cut and dried Mike was going to be awarded the decision and hand Mo his first loss.. Moorer however did far too much and the fix was called off because White was battered and dropped heavily in round 1 and almost Ko'd in the last few seconds.. But trust me (Mike was alledgedly going to be awarded a win) if it were to have been a close fight. I was told this many months later by an official (no names) but he was a BIG name in the Nevada Commission.. I hate to say it but it was the only time i saw a fight fix almost carried out before my very eyes.. The fight was too one sided in the end (Mike had beaten Buster Douglas ) years prior and he was backed by major foreign investors at the particular time.. I was shocked too , thankfully it never came off... but it was supposed to have.. Levi Billups also became the first man to stretch Lewis as a pro.. Lennox was dirty in that event, he elbowed Levi (former san diego footballer) on the top of his head intentionally after the end of round 1..

 

Wait, White was 26-10 at the time of the Moorer fight.

Who in gods name would be backing him to win? What would the point be?
