    People that wanna see a brutal knockout. Lol

    I'm not actually sure. If Morrison used a bit of footwork he might be able to drill Torrez with a big left hook. Or, Torrez swarms in and overwhelms Morrison with big shots until the one lands clean and puts Tommy out.

    That's just my initial gut feeling on it though. Guess if I gotta pick, I'm choosing Richard.

    Morrison was more explosive so he'd be my pick to land big first and consequently win the bout, unless/until Torrez demonstrates an iron chin, in which case he'd likely land big last.

    Torrez is 14-0 and, despite being placed in the Ring's heavyweight ratings already, he's an unknown quantity.

    We know Morrison had defensive holes and a less than iron chin. Coupled with lifestyle, training and health issues this yielded markedly mixed performances.

    However, I'd still favor a seasoned big-hitter over one who still needs a lot of work and might not be that durable himself.

    Torrez isn’t anything great, but he knows his way around the ring and that’s good enough to beat Tommy. He also has superior conditioning.

    Jalolov did knock him cold though.
