- There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the mysterious life of boxer Tommy Morrison, however recent evidence has shed light on possibly the darkest secret ever kept in boxing
- Sport
When you're at the top, your friends will know who you are,
And when you're at the bottom, you'll know who your friends are.
True
Dammmmmnn that is GREAT! I'm shocked I've never heard that before. I like it, I like it alot.
💯
Subbing to your channel for that one. Don't care if u make vidz
That is completely true
I worked at a convenience store in Tulsa next to the gym where Tommy worked out. He came in quite often. Say what you want, but the man was genuinely nice to us and even called me by name when he would see me. RIP my friend.
You're so lucky you met him
My dad told me about him when I was really little.. imagen loving something so much that you just don't want to give it up. Having that back then was a death sentence. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.. today he could have been at undetectable levels and still did stuff in boxing maybe not be the heavy weight champ at 50 but still do what he loved.. it sounds like he just gave up rest in peace Duke
Yall stupid
@@badhoehalo7641 who are you? 🤣
@Billy Bumpers someone with common sense xD 😊😭🌈💩🤢😂😂😂
"But see me as an individual who had the opportunity to be a role model.....but blew it". What a powerful statement. Utmost respect to that gentleman for having the courage to say that. RIP.
Definitely a humbling statement to make. Not easy
Comment gave me chills
Hold on... he knew he was HIV positive back in 1989 but still kept sleeping around unprotected till 1994? WTF.. anyone else pick up on this?
I met Tommy a few times. He lived in the county just 20 minutes away from me. He was a very nice and friendly guy. He didn't act like he was better than anyone. He's truly missed.
That's because he certainly was not. Hopefully you kept your distance from his bodily fluids. 😨😷😒
It seemed that he was as respectful to all
How many kids did you have together?
@@squazer yep
@@squazer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂now that’s funny😂😂😂 please let me use your reply
The pictures of Tommy in his 40s are straight up haunting.
yeah - they are straight up yeah
The same feeling, I guess this is AIDS, sucks out even the strongest dudes.
because of crystal meth.
It’s sad man . He had so many chances and opportunities. And threw it all away.
Well shit he looked like he was 30 at 13 so not surprised even if he didnt have a bad lifestyle
George Foreman's health bar is insane
😂😂😂 he can take a beating yo
Not only can he take a beating but he can deliver a hell of a punch too
Nah it ain't bro. I fucked his ass on fight night champion he went down like a bitch bro. Then again he was facing God. Obviously this is a joke. Boxing will never die.
True tank build lol
Straight up iron head. Dude has best jaw I've ever seen.
Such a tragic story of a man who definitely could have been one of the Greatest fighters of All Time. His addictions and the supposed friends who surrounded him only to use him is such a familiar story to many a fallen great. You could tell at heart he was really a lovely person and loved his boxing with a passion. This documentary was so enjoyable as not like the other sharks in the media industry, it told the story of Tommy so well and truthfully. Rest in Peace *CHAMP* 🙏
He would have never been one of the greatest
This is what you're enemies do ,they look for ways to bring you down to destruction...when you genuinely are THE BEST
@@bigtyme1984 Dude. If he could fight like that while constantly partying and exhausting himself along with having HIV then he surely had a chance to be on top if he had his head together.
Ironically enough the guy learned nothing from the same name character he played in the Rocky movies and instead followed his footsteps.
@@SIPEROTH well said. YES, he could have been one of the greatest. As you say, minus the toxicity, he would have been more... let the naysayers chow down on the jealousy. Their favorite food..
Seems like he had nothing but respect for all he fought
Klitschko said Mercer had the toughest chin he had ever seen, Tommy's camp going for the KO against Mercer & Tommy getting gassed early was a big mistake sadly.
Mercer was always able to deal & take like few boxers could.
To ME...Morrison was the same.
To ME...the Greatest of ALL TIME may belong in a "TIE" (AGAIN, TO ME because we'll never know) in Ali & Tyson; but so many boxers throughout history from Louis to Mayweather Jr. have & HAD something to offer the world of boxing.
With Tommy Morrison, it's a clear
"Rise & Fall of a Boxing Legend"
no matter how one views it.
@@maestroaxeman mercer also has a controversial decision loss to lennox lewis so he was a definite top heavyweight
@@jesuscruz7033 Yeah agree Mercer was a beast, but it was mostly because of his concrete chin
@@hjembrentkent6181 I think mercer would have done well in this Era, well him and Morrison.

I knew tommy had died young and contracted HIV, but this was heartbreaking. I never knew about the rapid aging he went through. I just can’t picture him as anything other than the shredded baby faced kid, seeing him age decades in such a short time is just crazy.
He could’ve been an icon for HIV awareness for years to come, he would’ve been huge for helping silence the stigmas that come with the disease since he comes from the most traditionally macho sport in the world
HIV is just another Covid nonsense.
Sorry but The Duke never had HIV/AIDS
Sad story....Tommy was one hell of a fighter and left a huge impact in the world of boxing..gone to soon..
money, drugs, and loose women.. the recipe for failure..RIP.. he was a beast in the ring

You should see his son Trey Morrison

amen
Yes they do...but when the money goes and you can’t buy them...they’re gone.
RIP Tommy. Thank you for the memories brother. You are a Legend.
That Mercer beat down is still so brutal to see, amazing that he was even able to fight after that, the Tommy Morrison story is so very sad
@@TugIronChief Ikr, best for Tyson he never had to come to blows with the legendary Tommy Morrison.
@@TugIronChief in a real fight, things can go anywhere. Even Mike Tyson took an L because of the unpredictable nature of a fight. Self doubt is ok but people like you who fully put down someone for just 1 L were never really their fans
@@1Insurgency1 what? Tyson lost to everyone any good , Lewis, HollyField , buster Douglas .... Tyson was fight sloppy lanky fighters that were not even on his level or close to it ....Tyson was a bully and once he felt his bully tactics didn't work he'd quit! It's easy to Go and fight some dude who looks like a joke and can't throw a right hand to save their life which most of Tysons opponents couldn't do.
It was sad to see Tommy's life end the way it did, he was a fantastic boxer-puncher that could have been soo much more if it wasn't the virus. Who else is a fan of the duke? I hope you enjoyed the video guys!
Very sad,
Cracking video mate
I am also a fan. This is an excellent video, as always. The bit about the ageing in the 1990s was very poignant. There is so much more I could say, and unfortunately some of it is quite negative regarding The Duke, but I will leave it there:).
I learned about him and pretty much everyone else apart from ali,tyson,foreman from your videos turned me from boxing ignorant to a big boxing fan.
Had one of the best left hooks ever.
Moral of the story, JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!
From girls also😂
Moral of the story is; Live YOUR life, you're going to die regardless. Drugs, HIV, CANCER, CAR ACCIDENT, HEART ATTACK, COVID ETC....follow the rules they've set, and the ones you set, no regrets and be happy with the results.
Simple just stay away from three poisons that are fake friends, Drugs and Alcohol.
@@zzxxooooxxzz4964 thats so true, Im not going to even debate that as earning alot of wealth can cause people to change and lose themselves too, I agree with you
Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
lol
When I first saw Mr. Morrison box I saw awesome skills, when Mr. Mercer knocked Morrison out in such a ruthless display it actually broke my heart
And then when he said that he tested positive for H. I. V I knew that the world was gonna lose a special fighter. And then when he passed away I actually grieved. So Tommy I will see you in paradise, where u will always be the champ.
This is one of the best boxing videos I've ever seen. Time to time I come back to this video, and moarn the tragic and unfortunate career of Morrison. I learnt so much more than I knew about him. And also, how you guys make the montage, how you choose the score, really gives the right aura about the sport, it's perfect. It perfectly narrates that period of heavyweight boxing, the 80s were wild as hell. And so that's so entertaining. And so informative. Love you guys.
check out the Eric Hunley interview with his widow and hear the other side of the story. I got to edit that video for the channel and it paints a very different story.
Thank you! This video is evil! All lies he’s just railroading Tommy all over. What a snake
Hey man if you are a fan of the Duke and you ain't already seen it look for the documentary on Disney called Tommy I've just literally finished it and it was a good watch, very sad but a good watch. Look it up if you ain't seen it. Another good watch is the episode based story called Mike obviously about Iron Mike, it's pretty good.
@Mark Mowadeeb yes
Those photos of Tommy nearing the end of the road are quite saddening.
Less Sizemore Most shocking picture I’ve ever seen. He looks 95 in that image. Sad.

@@elshanks1578 Aparently untreated AIDS + Crystal Meth + Cocaine don't mix well. If he kept taking his pills and not take those other drugs he could have lived to be 80 years old.
There is a video of one of his last interviews in Feb of 2011. Called Still Standing. I saw it several years ago and was shocked. I was a big Morrison fan and hated the path he took.
Agreed
I think one of the darkest secrets was Resto's gloves. Padding taking out and plaster under the hand wraps. Ultimately killed Billy Collins in the end. Way too sad.
Please, the sheer mention of his name brings rage outta me. Billy took that beating and praised Resto after.
Beat him with plaster and still couldn’t knock him out. Resto was a worthless cheater
There are many really dirty stories in boxing, but that was clearly one of the ugliest I have heard about. Restos coach Lewis shouldve gone to jail as well for that deed!
That pos
The story hurts.
I’m glad he came out and said he blew it,RIP TOMMY,he helped people by telling them to live clean and sober.!
I just have to say the soundtrack for this mini documentary is so good and spot on from Rocky 4 to Bloodsport ...just excellent job guys at editing
He was his own competitor, but friends ditching him over HIV..
That is not in my rulebook.
They wasn't friends, just hangers on while he was on top. Fake ass people, glory hunters !!!
tell me you want to share blood with someone with hiv
@@shownincryption9003
Are you a grave digger, the reason I ask this question is the following, reaching for the lowest common denominator. Now, to answer your question. Yes, I would share blood as in give it, not to receive it. That has nothing to do with friendship, that is simple common sense.
HIV positive symptoms
There are jerks everywhere. Especially women
When he was 13 years old he looks like an adult and when he was 40 years he looks like 60 years old man, some people live life above their actual age
Help ever Hurt never no u idiot he became a meth head not that he actually aged that fast
Tyson was a cokehead the difference is ??
@Vinh N racist
Because he broke the record of staying in his mother womb for the most time, 20 fucking years!
You can’t be racist against white people. I thought that was common knowledge by now....
This video was brilliantly put together. It's a shame it wasn't longer. RIP Mr. Morrison!
Tommy and Magic will always be legends.
10:22 The difference between *Ali* & the rest of the boxers. He never punched while the opponent is collapsing on the stage.
Love you _The Greatest_
Fortnite
Agreed. Clearly out, Mercer landed numerous blows and was obviously trying to injure and seriously damage his opponent. Couldn't believe it was allowed by ref who was blocked by Mercer. Dirty and no class. Several lethal shots after ko.
Neither did Foreman if you watch his fights after he knew he connected with that power blast he'd swing around walk back to his corner

@@Ladosligese supposedly a nymphomaniac yet he never passed it on to anyone he slept with? Idk could be a conspiracy in there
@@phez_846 so u dont think he had HiV ? .. hmm wonder what killed him then .. and you CAN have HiV and not pass it on to others .. they could have been using protection ,.
I always thought what a huge contrast between his character on Rocky and the actual interviews a saw of him. I had no idea he died and that pic of him with his health deteriorated was so heartbreaking. Here’s to a genuine good person with real heart. Love you brother forever be in peace
It’s such a sad story. To see how he looked at the end of his life, shocking and sad. To say that he had so much promise is an understatement. Plenty looked up to him. He needed wise counsel when he gained success to keep him level headed and on track. He didn’t have it or if he did, refused to listen.
He seeemed to get HIV fairly early in the disease’s discovery. Why he would stop his meds other than financial ruin or medical misery might be a real mystery here. It’s a sad story to me. RIP The Duke.
not a huge boxing fan, did not know him, but you did a great job telling a complex story. Beautifull vid, nice boxing, emotional and balanced. keep up the good work
yeah there is a few boxing channels that make some amazing stuff they really work hard on this things probably because of how passionate they are towards the sport but they deserve a lot more subs
Zaharky .yeah.. good work. had no idea bout all this.am a boxing fan, but never knew the story bout T Morrison let alone his passed away. so sad. always thought life is a curse. now it's confirmed. 😬😠
Tommy 'The Duke' Morrison ....... R.I.P.
This guy had HUGE fan appeal, and not just because he was in a Rocky movie... He was the great white hope and the ALL-AMERICAN alpha male rolled into one from a bygone age, with a killer left hook. Too bad he never got the fight with Tyson.

Wake Up, man !!! If he had any "respect" for the fighters he faced, he wouldn't have continued fighting after he learned that he had AIDS. He was a Selfish PUNK for exposing other fighters to AIDS !!!

@@hugocanuto6981 why would it be a joke? He is a waste and a useless drifter. He just cruises through life on his natural talent but put in zero hard work and then easily started abusing drugs after fall from fame truly a weak and pathetic individual.
Not quite. Tommy took shots at Mike Tyson when he was clearly unjustly accused of rape by that golddigger and put in prison. Tommy made some televised comments about Mikes behaviour when he was clearly no choir boy himself. And the comments were primarily based on the FALSE RAPE ACCUSATIONS. Tommy was obviously taking major advantage of his "Great White Hope Status" he was receiving from the media and public and he ran with it right into a MACK TRUCK!
coming back to this video regularly because its so well made. incredibly narrated and edited. serves morrisson well.
RIP to a true legend ❤.
Its sad his friends turned on him and left him alone and how he lost it all.
In Greece we say: ''I know my enemies, it's my friends that i am afraid of''
which means we know that many-many times the people that we knew as friends betray us in the first difficult moment.If someone stay to help us in that moment HE IS a real friend.
Tommy Gun RIP.
@i like frogs there are no friends there are only allies & enemies.
They wasn't his friends
Grenadieros [GR] Soo true, even if you try to be a true friend to others.
It's sad that he put his friends and family at risk of getting HIV and then just ignored the fact that he ever had it in the first place. What a piece of shit
Tommy surrounded himself with the wrong people.

@Wil Jones AMEN.🙏
I remember as a kid wanting this guy to beat Mike Tyson so badly. I still want that.
I agree, this was a very tragic turn for a very promising fighter. Also, any fighter at all who continues to punch once its obvious their opponent is out deserves nothing but the worst.
All that partying and he was still one of the best. Imagine what would have happened if he would've take care of him self.
He was not one of the best he never won any of his big fights
@@Jim19822 Ok...He was a very talented fighter who couldve gone alot farther had he done some things differently.

Tommy was genuinely very nice to people, I met and spoke with him several times over the years and he always had time to talk no matter how busy he was
Just goes to show the high life isnt always the best path to take.
Fame kills
Everything was going back good, until he met his wife... damn
Maybe she wanted him dead.
Got his life insurance probably
@Matt M Exactly. Sad Shit.
The sick bitch
@@ianmangham4570 how many women did he give HIV to? How many other boxers? he was a POS and thats karma IMO. A womanizer with HIV... great combo for your hero guy.
so i guess Rocky V sorta predicted Tommy's real world fate not his death but his surrounding himself with the wrong crowd like the Promoter in the movie
Wow, soo sad
From watching the Video , Don King signed Morrison for 3 fight retirement package , it was his 3rd wife that got him onto drugs .
I think Rocky V came thereinafter
The video said Rocky V was the worst one, but I think it was really good.
Ironic
Watched him fight as a kid back in the 90s. Still a fan of the Rocky films. He was a awesome fighter and his career was cut short. RIP Tommy Morrison.
Can't blame the kid, look at the life he had and how young he was when he was already more accomplished than most adults. Its sad how it ended for the guy... Can you imagine having his life but then finding out you're life is over before you even get a chance to do something with that success, and then all the sudden you're health deteriorates to where you don't even look like the same person.. He seemed like he was genuinely nice & respectful towards everyone but fought with giving up his life to hiv, its too bad man life ain't fair!
Foreman is a monster. He ate those punches and just walked around like nothing happened at the end of the fight.
The thing I remember about Foreman is that he would basically let his head take the shots and cover his stomach. His stomach was where he was soft, he was okay with you beating on his head

This is a great video. Even before his public disclosure of this HIV status, his career was a tragedy. Imagine what he could have become if he had taken his career seriously. He was that rarest of gems in boxing: a guy who was (or at least could have been) actually better than his hype.
Tommy was an absolutely amazing Boxer !
And heard from several people of being a really nice guy.... BUT also he lived a highly extreme partying lifestyle which literally affected his boxing and then his life !
How Sad !
This video is literally one of the best productions I have ever seen and I just randomly came across this video, props to your hard work making this vid!👌🏽
This is well done for CZcams, but don't be too Impressed. Most of this is from the ESPN 30 for 30 film Tommy. It is excellent, tragic and sad, about 90 minutes.
I was about to say, it wasnt much research. This is mostly ESPN 30's material with a different narrator.
@@mcrvt where can I see that 30 for 30 ?
@@theinformationbomber7102 Well, I believe most of the ESPN 30 for 30 films can be found on dvd. Their available as individual episodes or complete seasons, just check out Ebay. They're are many fantastic films whether you are a huge sports fan or not. They are very well done. But also I'm sure you can find them on the ESPN+ app, but there is a subscription fee, although there is a lot of content available, especially if you are a fight fan. ESPN is who the UFC is partnered with now.
Damn! Dude had so much potential, I hate he never got to fight Tyson
same but i think tyson would have killed him, similar aggression, better defense.
@Au / idk man tommy was an insanely good boxer
@Au / but his defense was pretty bad
Tyson would destroy him
Mike Tyson would’ve smoked him

Do you mean to tell me you've never stumbled upon a video that you watched just because?
I would like to know the name of the sound track playing in the background within the scene before and just as he is shown standing on his deck of his home. I believe he is wearing a Grey tee shirt without sleeves. I really wish to know the name of that soundtrack play in background.

Fair point, but how do you expect pro heavy boxer to be prudent and wise, when they're getting their head knocked around the clock? Cognition goes straight down the shitter.
I went through boot camp with Tommy’s 1st cousin. We talked ENDLESSLY about Tommy from OK. He was at the top of his game then. Shit gets sad.
Wow !!!
I never knew all that stuff.
Thank you for sharing.
Tragic story....I'm also shocked I didnt know he passed and his last pic was hard to look at...RIP Duke
Yea I didn’t know either. I also remember seeing a documentary on VH1 waaay back in like 2004 or 2005 where he was saying he didn’t believe he ever had the virus and he was trying to box again. Really sad to hear of his passing and falling back into substance abuse
@@SageofSorrow He was almost unrecognizable at the age of 40. And died at 44. He was a dried up prune of a man. So sad he had so much potential. I think his conscience got the best of him and he basically gave up on life. He felt like he let everyone down and couldn't live with himself any longer!
Dang. I had no clue he died. Talented guy, lots of promise, but obviously had inner demons/ addictions he was unable to tame.
Terry Crotts -- he also liked to party. With party comes drugs especially in those days. Crack and cocaine especially. He probably would have been alright if he didn’t like to party
HIV and the implants couldn't keep up...RIP
I'm.. speechless here, I mean what an emotional story, truly an amazing documentary, you knocked this one out my man.
Tommy was John Wayne's nephew or grandson, I can't remember, but Rock 5 was underrated and his story is so tragic, rest in peace Champ.
That's why the illuminate sacrificed him
Didn’t it come out that the Johnny Wayne story was false and just for marketing purposes?
Loving the background music with the video. 👍
I paused the video halfway through the Mercer onslaught to give Tommy a break.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣OMG🤣🤣🤣
It was merciless smh
I saw that fight on TV when I was younger.ref should have stopped it way sooner.
😂🤣😂🤣
Tommy was knocked out twice before he hit the canvas.
Gotta say it’s kind of amazing how well Mercer took those combos
He was a beast
Love your videos, liked this one a lot!!!!
his story always makes me sad he was a great boxer and had so much going for him
I realized VERY early on how important it is to choose friends wisely. I was the most popular dude in my town growing up and when i fell on hard times not ONE person ever called to check on me or be there for me, but when i was getting full scholarships playing college basketball and dating beautiful girls they all wanted to talk to me. Very important lesson and now today i make sure if anyone's in need i reach out. This lesson made me realize how much this world needs the Lord.
@Daddy1724 Let him believe what he wants bet you wouldnt like somebody's saying to change your political belief you wouldnt change
I just dont have friends. Im friendly and I love to to have friends, but nobody is a friend to me.
michael thomas is yours the shitty attitude you seem to be referring to?
Heres a good idea fuck everything and just be a good person nothing matters about what you use to do it just do it
Yes , most people are deceived and are just chasing after the things of this world. We all need the Lord
The rocky movie kinda predicted his downfall 😨
How? I haven’t watched the movie yet
He went from everything to nothing
Brandon Pearce oh ok
He was probably talking about rocky 5 where rocky loses his money and his student tommy gun thinks he’s hot shit.
@@kaydrioncamper1104 Are u dumb..No shit.. In Rocky 5, this guy appears in the movie and his name is Tommy gun. Tommy was becoming famous well all of a sudden he gets bear up by rocky.
I used to LOVE Tuesday night fight. My brothers and I watched every one. Definitely remember Tommy
I love the execution of the video by using the rocky songs, it really gave it an amazing feeling
This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever watched. Damn.
Man whatttt...u ain't lying bro
at 12:53 whats the song
You don’t read or watch much do you?
Absolutely! The fact that he never even spoke much about it for so many years is sad and scary at the same time. And some how, after still boxing apparently for years after his diagnosis, he never gave another boxer hiv. Its strange and somehow suspicious to me.
Then brace yourself, see what Luis Resto did to Billy Collins???
Every time you post a video, you can easily see why you've been such a youtube success story. From beginning to end, each video is of superb quality, besting even some of the greatest boxing documentaries with massive budgets. Thank you for your dedication to the fans!
The storytelling and production quality is off the charts. I'm not even much of a boxing fan but I subscribed as soon as I found this channel. Great stuff.
Agreed. Seems like I'm watching TSN or ESPN only better. Awesome channel
A lot of wonderful boxing history posted here on this youtube channel. Great stuff.
Steven Savage s
Ive only recently discovered this channel, but the above comment is fully accurate.
You dont wanna be the guy that peaks at 16 yrs old honestly this story perfectly explains it
So many great fighters that didn't get where they should have. The drama attracts us fans, but can be heartbreaking, sadly.
Its been 4 months. Please comeback. This is by far the best boxing channel in all of youtube. CZcams before was a place you can share, create and just hang out by posting videos or watching. Now its just all about money money money.
You see the credits this is professionnel Channel they have To pay for audio
@@Xrez23 pay all those TV networks??!?
@@Xrez23 Voiceovers don't cost that much,
Modern martial artist is where it’s at
Indeed I do miss the orginal content, and community CZcams had. Now its just like watching TV.
That stoppage against Mercer came too late, I think it’s an awful knockout. And seeing that last picture of him was like being slapped in the face.
Love your name. :)
Yeah, Shocking actually. He got hammered 3-4 times after he was visibly out. Bad on the ref and kind of cruel of Mercer. Have fun. : )
Edit: Mercer asks after the fight? "Why didn:'t the ref stop the fight. I mean, I could have killed him."
What strange values some people have.
Still one of the most brutal late stoppages in boxing I’ve seen. Sad story all together man but he still lived more and achieved more than the overwhelming majority of people ever will.
Jasmine Owen - When you’re unleashing a vicious combo trying to finish your opponent in such a high stakes fight where your belt is on the line most people don’t stop until it’s stopped by the ref. Adrenalin and wanting to be sure you get the W plays a part. Anyways, he wasn’t called “merciless” Mercer for no reason.
Rhythm Of The Knight the tua KO of Ruiz was also hardcore . Every so often I watch both
A great watch from a good boxing channel, R.I.P Tommy ‘the Duke’ Morrison! 🙏🏿
song at the end is hell on earth by Mobb Deep
this is for those that have it stuck in your head but couldn't remember the name like i did
Those "friends" that turned their backs on him, guess what? THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS!!!!
Exactly
P. Kelly Stark 939393 don’t drink beer? In a rural state like Oklahoma? Go outside and experience the real world lol
They are the same sort of people who were around mike Tyson also when he had nothing then soon weren’t by his side.....
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 Come on for real!!! No beer only the poor!!! Not buying it bud!!!
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 Damn! Ok then
I'm a boxing fan and a boxer. This is an example kids of getting fame/fortune and not staying "protected."
RIP Tommy and kids use protection when having fun out there.
I used plan b pills but idc
@Hernandez10052 but i know she dosnt have stds or anything like that
Cap it b4 yu tap it ....when it rains put on coat
@@adancorona7110 😂😂😂
Ray Nova Same. What happened was really unfortunate.
The fact that the bloodsport theme was used in this video makes me love it so much more! This was absolutely awesome!
great video yall..... when i heard jcvd bloodsport music ...... the video was already much better
"Saddest thing in the world: Wasted Talent"
You said it C.... Bronx Tale is such an awesome movie
@@celticslion Absolutely! You recognized that quote! 😃
One of the best films I have ever seen, seems to be a bit under the radar as well for whatever reason. I saw it in my early teens for the first time and I feel like it taught me a lot about life. On top of the movie itself, I love this quote and was happy to find it here.
@@celticslion Brilliant film
Such a sad story. Even after he tested positive he could have been a Majic Johnson and still had a career as a commentator or in business. For so much in life, it's the company you keep that is important!
Lana Gorgeous it's pretty amazing that he accepted this as his fault and apologised to his fans and told them not to look up to him. smh he deserves respect for what he accomplished
Lana Gorgeous you didn't think it was sad when he was out raw dogging those bitches did you?
@@nickenzio1
Classy.
Does anyone know the name of soundtrack that plays at the start of chapter 4 giant slayer? Much appreciated.
Aye man!! The music chosen is most excellent! Some Prodigy at the end! A little dipset to boot?! Awesome video all around!
Well save for the content. That ending was awful. Poor guy. Wonder what his wife’s story is.
That Mercer knockout's got my vote for the nastiest KO of all time. Looks more like a Hollywood production than Rocky V ever did.
Razor ruddock has an evil left hook knockout .
@Jerry Smith It's the referee's job to come between the fighters when that happens. Unfortunately the referee was sleep walking. Fighters lose control in the heat of the battle, it happens all the time, referees are there to stop the action.
Mercer was a merciless, with murderous disposition. he kept beating his opponent even though he passed out with his eyes closed. and just then he put all his strength into it, with the aim of killing. Just look at the eyes full of hatred and anger afterwards .. other boxers stop, seeing the opponent fall to the ground
@Jerry Smith If it's the fighters fucking job as you put it why is it then that referees in boxing matches have stopped fighters from inflicting more damage countless times? Have you ever seen a boxing match in your life? Boxers continue punching after an opponent is no longer defending himself. It happens all the fucking time.
Marciano nearly took Walcott's head off with his right hand.
He’s story is so sad. I watched him rise to the top, and was so ready for him to fight Tyson. It’s just sad to see your age 20’s hero go down like this. It still makes me sad to this day.
Yea I seen it too. He just got caught in the moment like I did.
Lupe's Kick push is an awesome tune to have in the background
Your taste in score and soundtrack is exceptional. I’m a long time BLTV fan. Yours is the best boxing channel bar none. I feel i I’m have a gifted ear for sound, music and scoring. I heard (2) electro-lounge type songs in here that I love and figured were unknown to most. I also love your use of bloodsport tracks. Perfect for the setting. From one filmmaker to another, nice work, maestro!
Please do you have the name of the song from chapter 4 ?
yeah man, I have that one in my iTunes...it's called left side drive from the group "boards of Canada".@@tomson3046
they have other good ones too, and if you don't know about "spunkshine, I'd drop a listen to his catalogue as well@@tomson3046
