You all forgot Burt Cooper. That man went two to two with Mercer and Mercedes’ jaw looked like he had a baseball in it. Mercer, Morrison and Moore were my favorite in those days. Bo pissed me off when he threw, I think it was the WBO in the trash and didn’t fight Lewis.
@@GenXautrucity You mean Bert Cooper? And no, I won't forget about Bert Cooper. The man gave Evander Holyfield a good challenge when Mike Tyson pulled out after he suffered a rib injure. Also, Bowe threw the WBC belt in the trash bin, not the WBO.
Yes sir. That was boxing at its best. We had Tyson back in them good ol days. It seems it quieted down since then. These day we got Floyd. Lol. He just a bling bling.
Remember this one too. What a fight it was. Ruddock was a big dude with a lot power. Morrison didn’t gas in this one, and he was able to eat a lot of Ruddock’s power shots. It was back and forth every round, and we were cheering both fighters. That left hook was money, but Ruddock somehow got up. Much respect to both fighters, and this one made me a fan of both guys. This was a dynamite brawl!
What an nanny that ref was, jeez - couldn't believe when he jumped in out of nowhere for the standing 8 count. This is probably the most epic fight I've seen. Ruddock being very selective with his shots, each blow coming out like a wrecking ball. And what awesome evasiveness by Tommy. Man, I want to see more.
Nanny ref? Wow. Learn boxing and its rules. When my dad referred this fight. My dad wanted to send Ruddock home to his family and children safe! Not in a body bag. Ruddock came off canvas from a one punch devastating knock down. The next knock down was when the ropes prevented Ruddock from going down. That’s in the rule book if ropes prevent a fighter from going down. Lastly Ruddocks head snapping back Dangerous sign! Time to stop fight
I see what you are saying, but right before the stoppage, Ruccock's head whipped back to almost 90 degrees from one of Morrison's punches. Almost every time you see that, they stop the fight. There is a possible neck injury and brain bruising from it hitting the back wall of his skull more violently than from other punches. There was little left but pain and brain damage for Razor. Heavyweight fights are like near death experiences. Seconds can be the difference between temporary and serious permanent injury.
@@bgood213 You should be proud. To be part of an epic fight like that one was a high point in your father's career. I think he made the right decision.
Both guys were very similar. Big, strong, fast and extremely dangerous early in a fight. Downside they both were hitable and had durability issues. But my god they hit so hard.
Had Tommy taken his career seriously in and out of the ring he would have been an absolute legend... People don't realize he fought most of his career with HIV... Thats why he wore eye liner to hide the symptoms... He gassed in later rounds because of the virus that was killing him... He was one of my childhood heroes... Sad how his story ended.

It never ceases to amaze how fighters will cover up on the ropes and take huge shots without defending themselves intelligently. Can not blame the referee for stopping the fight is Ruddock isn't willing to fight back.
Ridiculous! When a guy is flurrying wildly the best option is usually to just cover up and wait for him to punch himself out. Ruddock caught almost everything on the arms and shoulders. This was as bad a stoppage as I've seen.
@@estasquecrujes As bad a stoppage as you've seen...come on. His head gets rocked right back by a left hand less than a second before the ref steps in, having been knocked down by a hard shot (as impressive as his recovery was, for the first couple of seconds after being hit Ruddock was laid flat and nearly motionless on the canvas, he looked out of it) and hammered with plenty of shots for a minute after the knockdown, and most of them were getting through the guard. Ruddock also benefitted from the standing eight count.
@@johnnyringo4899 Rope a dope is where you lean back on the ropes and use their flex to absorb a lot of the impact of the punch, tiring out the opponent without getting badly hurt, whereas Ruddock's head rocked as far back as it could go without flying off into the crowd.
If Morrison had trained properly & had none of his demons he would have been absolutely awesome. It’s a shame people don’t seem to acknowledge his talent & we never got to see just how good he could be due to his issues & addiction
No creas! Aquí en Argentina incluso ha sido muy popular! Casi que hasta se decía que le podía ganar a Tyson! (Cosa que yo no creo, peeeeero dejo la duda a una posibilidad muy probable)
(5:08) .....That Hook!! How on earth did Razor Ruddock get back up from that one, let alone beat the count?!!..... Incredible...... (It was the turning point of the whole fight though, and as good as over once Tommy had landed it......And no surprise there.....)
Razor had a thing, he often smiled going down like it never really phased him. Watch Tyson knocking him on his ass. The way he went down here he shouldn't even be able to make the count and he's up like it didn't even happen. It's weird, man.
@@nedkelly8495 Stoppage was way too early, but I don't think the ref was paid off because he stopped Morrison unnecessarily at least twice while he had a good offensive. The ref was just incompetent.
@@benjack8477 absolutely an early stoppage especially for two high caliber top ten fighters as they were. If it was a mismatch of opponents and skill set I'd say yes but this was a toe to toe.
Ruddock definitely had more power than Tommy, some of those blows were unbelievable! Tommy was chipping away at him though. He was hurting him, but Ruddock was nowhere near the danger point when the fight was called.
I didn’t see Razor or his corner arguing that much after the stoppage. He should have thrown more punches or circled away from Morrison instead of getting hit and not responding. I approve of this stoppage.

@@benjack8477 Wrong. His head was going backwards very quickly seconds before the stoppage. But I agree the stoppage was way too early. Maybe R. could have recovered after the bell. It would have been an epic comeback.
I would say an early stoppage as well but again Razor or his corner didn’t put up much of an argument as soon as it was stopped. I’m assuming later they did. Razor was no doubt dazed and tired so perhaps he had to get his head cleared and a short rest before he could say it was stopped too early.
The decision from the ref was correct. It was the right moment to ended the fight. Razor showed in the last 70 seconds only the double guard. He thrown only two punches to the air and took a lot and to much.

Morrison was a promoter’s dream. Fantastic style, he had the looks, charisma and the ‘great white hope’. He also had a leaky defence which made his fights exciting.
These dudes were heavy handed Brawlers in an era where the Heavyweight division had so much fierce talent . Either one of these guys would destroy most of todays Top Heavyweights . I don't think AJ or Wilder would stand a chance against these 2 guys in their prime. USYK & Fury would probably give these guys hell they special because they are extremely Skilled & can break down brawlers .
I loved watching Tommy Morrison fight. He had one of the greatest Left hooks of all-time. RIP Champ. I loved watching Razor too; he always brought it and never ducked anybody.
RAZOR RUDDUCK was rusty & fat after a long layoff before fighting MORRISON . & MORRISON was officially tested for STEROID USE, is why he was so strong in the 90's, & punched so hard as well, But the RUDDOCK who fought MIKE TYSON wouldve destroyed any version of MORRISON,
Crazy how he knocked out the very same opponent that Tyson had so much trouble with during his prime, that just speaks volumes about Tommy's durability and punching power.
Here ya go youngsters, two SKILLED HW and byproducts of the 90’s HW division. This fight was like watching the Hulk and Juggernaut beat up on each other!!🤣 RIP T Morrison!!
the saddest thing about this is that if he had been more serious tommy morrison could've been one of the greatest ever but he partied slept around and drank too much and it came back to haunt him against mercer and lewis rip tommy
This comment section is fucking stupid. The ref did everything in his power to allow Ruddock to show he could keep going. He was getting beaten to a pulp by Morrison, got a standing 8 count, and then went RIGHT BACK into his guard and his head was getting snapped back.
