"Duke" Morrison Vs. Carl Williams from '93 / HBO.. YEAH!

That was a great fight.

 

Carl said this about the Morrison fight

SN: You almost derailed Tommy Morrison’s fight against George Foreman by knocking him down twice in the fifth round and almost out. How was he able to get off the hook?

CW: Let me tell you something. That fight was so f*cking rigged, I’m so pissed about that. It was so rigged. I had him down twice, and don’t get me wrong, he caught me too. But I had him down twice, and guess what they did? I know what they did because I know (Bob) Arum, that piece of garbage. They gave him an eight count. There was no eight count, though! The referee told us the eight count was waived, I said okay. And all of a sudden, he was getting an eight count. Now how the hell do you explain that? There was NO eight count, and he got one. Arum was looking at the Morrison-Foreman fight. They figured they could get me out of there 1-2-3, but they didn’t realize I was coming with guns. I had him, he was ready to go. They gave him an eight count and there was no eight count. Just shows you how things are. Unfortunately, I had to live through that and live a different life than I would have obviously lived had I won those fights that I felt that I deserved. Fate came and hit me in the ass. It’s unfortunate because I put so much into it, and picked myself up so well moving on and trying something else. I had one of the greatest opportunities in life just snatched out from under me like a rug. There’s no justice there. Bob Arum’s a big player.
