Trey Morrison, now 3-0, 3 KO's is one to follow. I have seen two of his fights as the USA prospect list is thin. I must say Trey impressed be a bit. He has very similar movements to his father, and quite a bit of power too. Watch Trey for 30 seconds, and you'll think you were watching a young Tommy Morrison. A good athlete, and former college football player with just one amateur fight, Trey has a lot to learn such as the fundamentals of defense, and footwork, spacing, pacing, and setting up his offense. But the speed, aggression, and power are there. I do not expect him to be matched with s decent journeyman for two years, but I will say he has tools to work with. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...-lippe-following-father-footsteps-boxing-ring
So long as he doesnt fall in love with his power and learns to defend..... and doesnt have his dads bad habits.....he could prove to be a solid fighter. I'd put him in with some other can crushers after bout 10 fights just to make some $$$ for the purpose of promotion and getting higher quality sparring. Someone like Kimbo....that could sell and get on tv like Espn or FS1.:good
His dad had some of the worst habits outside the ring. His trainer said he was the most stubborn athlete ever coached. Just a hunch. I think Trey very aware of his father's flaws, and will work hard to over come them. His team will take their time and feature him on cards knocking out D rated guys. For now, he only tests will be in the gym. I would keep him at 4 rounds for at least 12 pro fights, and match him with the more durable non-power types after he learns a thing or two.
I seen clips of him &... Foresee bad things in his future inside boxing once he steps up the comp. The kids balance is really bad & has already seen the canvas against that starter comp. Loved his pop's tho
He had 1 amateur fight. Have you ever seen guys in their amateur debuts? They are awful. Balance can be learned. Speed, and power can not. Morrison has the speed and power going for him.
wait and see. Morrison had a lot of tough man and boxing experience by the time he was Lippe's age. Typically, boxers who start out at a later age have a hard time developing "a mind for boxing". They have to think too much in the ring and it slows them down. As far as late starters go I think Bryant Jennings is currently the best. Being aggressive and powerful can make up for the inexperience a bit but eventually he is going to meet an opponent who has experience and skill and knows how to deal with aggression and power. Morrison actually could box a bit. Lippe may have the raw material to become a good boxer but it's really too early in the process to tell.
Recently saw video of Lippe's latest fight. Looked like he learned a lot since his first fight. Hopefully, his management will keep him away from real competition for a while, he still needs experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0elXPrfG8zo much better than his first fight. Good upper body movement, excellent bend in the knees, enough to generate KO power yet maintain good mobility, kept his chin tucked.
He looks much better than I though he would........................with 20 more fights he could be a top ten fighter, well, if he gets Wilder's people to promote him he could be #2 now.................after all, Wilder is ranked #1 without ever fighting anyone even nearly ranked................
No extensive amateur career, no boxing fundamentals, knocking out opponents isn't a formula for a long successful career. His lack of fundamentals will catch up with him. Seth Mayhem is a good example of this.
A lot depends on how good you are at knocking people out. Keeping your fights short is the best way to prolong a career.
