Tommy Morrison vs. Sonny Liston (Primes)

I don't think that the outcome of this fight would be disputed too much, but damn this would make for one hell of an action packed fight while it lasted.:bbb

 

A waste of thread space lol.

Liston K.O 1 without being hit back, throws the jab, hooks follow it, Morrison is gone.

 

:finger Obviously Liston wins, but I still think this has potential for fireworks for maybe 3 rounds. Maybe.

 

Morrison was a very good heavyweight...for about three rounds. He had very good power in his left and set up his punches nicely at times. Thing is, his weak chin and stamina issues usually short-circuited his good starts against better oppositon.

Liston shouldn't have much trouble putting him away. Liston inside 5 rounds.

 

In the second round Morrison rocks Liston with a left hook. 13 seconds later Liston knocks Morrison out cold with his jab.

 

:think :nut
No , Morisson Will be KO'd from the heart atack he caught at the stare-down. only fighters who were born pre 1950 could withstand sonny's stare.

 

sure thing

 

Liston KO 2

 

almost correct.
it would probably take liston about 13 seconds in all.then he'd be stood in broken glass

 

This could be a great fight...Used to love Morrison when I first started following boxing, he is that kind of fighter thats appealing to the casual fan..He was good fun to watch.

Unfortunately Liston (the ****) spoils the party...Not only does the fight last less then 6 mins..we dont get to see Morrison in the ring for a year given his neck brace needs to be on for at least 20 weeks...and he will need about 4 operations from the doctor that did this.

Other then that...great fight.

 

Probably very similar to the Williams fights. Unless Morrison lands the perfect left hook, he's toast and not seeing the 5th round.

 

Well if it means anything to you, i'd pick him to win a split decision over todays Nate Campbell as well!
