    I don't know what you mean by shaky defence experts..? You think Morrison was a slip and slider?

    Well as to who would of taken it, I see morrison KO'ing him in 5, unless TM shows up out of shape. But, you dont know, because Seldon was liable to implode and quit...

    Morrison should probably be favored, but its by no means a forgone conclusion. For all his shortcummings, Seldon did have a fairly sound offense, decent power and high level energy and output in the early rounds.. His chin and long range stamina are the things that failed him most, which could be a problem against a hitter like Tommy, but then again, Morrison was not terribly strong in those areas either.

    Morrison early.

    I think Seldon holds those hands way too low to avoid getting clipped early in this. He throws and lands a good jab but bring his hand back to his waist, then lifts it up. When he jabbed he dropped his right hand as well. I think that is way too big of an opening for a guy like Morrison who would wing away early with those fast hands and Seldon gets caught with that chin up in the air. After that, I don't see him having the recouperative powers to last. long. I think Seldon handles and matches up w/ boxers much better than the hitters.

    This is the kind of opponent that suits Morrison and he can get those quick ko results against.

    If Seldon lands any sort of decent punch on Morrison's chin, this could be all over.

    But if Morrison hits any piece of thin air within three feet of Seldon's chin this could be all over.

    So, I'd favour Tommy here.

    Seldon was jab oriented and would have been stopped by a power puncher of Morison's quality . Morison & Seldon were nearly evenly sized , Seldon could not do what Lewis did despite he did better than Lewis against McCall . But then Lewis was not so jab oriented , except against Tua .

    A mismatch. Yes Seldon was physically probably even better than Machine Gunn, but mentally, he was shocking, even compared to the mentally messed up Duke...

    Morrison inside two.

    Morrison easily ko's man who has no heart, no guts and no chin. A tailor made fight for the Duke.

    Morrison should be favoured to win by ko. Don't be surprised if bruce knocks him out in the first though.
