Tommy Morrison - Tragedy of the Duke (IMPOSSIBLY POWERFUL LEFT HOOK)

Tommy "The Duke" Morrison. A knockout puncher who took the Sports / Boxing world by storm for an all too brief moment in history.

From starring in Rocky 5, to holding the heavyweight title two times...This original documentary examines the rise, and then the very tragic fall of the Duke.

Some of those poor bastards in Tommy's highlight reel look like they were there to get KO'd, just judging by their appearance and reaction to his shots. They looked like they didn't belong in there. This aspect of boxing truly gives me a dark feeling, how some guys are absolutely pumbled just being used as a stepping stone to build somebody's undefeated record. Boxing doesn't allow defeats on a record like mma does.

Like look at King David he was at the top he was a warrior he was doing great things because of God's wisdom and strength. He took his eyes off his calling and he looked out his window and got tempted by another's man's wife with let him to do evil as a result he got knocked down his kingdom was wrecked his own children turned on him his own beautiful daughter got raped you reap what you sow Jesus forgive us and have mercy I know from personal experience you don't want to disobey God people turned to God when you have time

The Duke had a killer left hook, I'll never forget the Razor Ruddock fight, one of my earliest memories of getting into boxing. The 1990s heavyweight scene was phenomenal, also amazes me still how many people over the years have said "Dude isn't that the guy from Rocky 5?"🤣

All the common opponents Morrison had with Tyson have all said Morrison was a far harder puncher (Lewis, Tillis, Thomas, Williams, Ruddock). You could tell Lennox was terrified of getting hit with the left hook, the way his right glove was glued to his face. Some other opponents also said that Morrison hit them harder than Foreman did.

Exactly what came first to my mind. When you are soo good at something, you start to think you are invincible and would never fall, but eventually everyone falls. He needed a coach/friend who could give him a reality check and put him back on track and keep him grounded while working on improving his techniques. Cus was that to Tyson, always keeping him grounded and laser focused imo and getting his fighter to show up and put in work every day even if you are the best in the world. Everyone needs someone like that in life who makes you wanna push but always pulling you back to reality and keeping things real.

I spent a day with Tommy Morrison, just a two months before he died. I was filming an interview, and the subject of the interview asked me to please hire Mr. Morrison to do "whatever" on set: hold the boom mike, get coffee, just basically be there and get paid. It was a philanthropic gesture, and I was happy to accommodate. Poor ole Tommy looked terrible; sickly, sallow, thin, frail, and sweaty. This man who I had idolized in my youth was now a shell of himself. Tommy barely talked all day, was too weak to hold the boom mike for more than a couple of minutes, and to be honest was surly, withdrawn and unappreciative. What a shame that this legendary, strong tough man would end his life in such a sad state. I mean no disrespect to Mr. Morrison, nor his friends and family- but this weird coincidence of hiring Tommy Morrison for a day happened to me, so thought I would share the story.

I'm an 80s kid and loved watching him growing up both in Rocky and in real life. He was absolutely amazing and don't kid yourself, He truly hurt or completely stopped anyone he faced. His left hook is still absolutely thee most vicious I've ever seen and in my opinion still in the very top 3 for pure raw power if not number one!

[@Whitegorillaboy]

Your opinion is yours, but not shared by most of us. Morrison had a PED-physique, fattened his record on tomato cans, was lazy in the gym, and made a lot of money on his looks and ethnicity. Whenever he was matched with top fighters, except Foreman, he lost. Michael Bentt exposed him for having a big flaw -- the inability to beat even a journeyman with a decent punch.

[@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068]

@@hazza6723 Just have to correct you a little about HIV here. There's no recovery from it, but with modern medicine you can to a large extent prevent it from progressing to late stage hiv which is known as aids. Drinking also doesn't directly affect HIV, but I understand what you're saying. The drinking definitely doesn't help your immune system or how you look.. Tommy Morrison took medicine religiously in the beginning, but stopped taking it in the 00s and that's the problem. He lived without medicine for the last 10 years+ of his life claiming he never had HIV in the first place and that it was a setup. His HIV had reached aids from around 2010 ish where you could see opportunistic infections on his skin. As could be seen during his last interviews like the Fight Night champion interview in early 2011 etc.. Tommy Morrison reportedly tested positive for HIV as early as 1988, but managed to hide it until 1996 where he was forced to retire after a positive test. I wonder if it affected his boxing career. Generally you don't see many symptoms early on, but they say that within 5 years you will see the first signs of hiv. It's sad to see that he stopped taking the medicine and being in total denial. Died way too young and it could have been prevented. And I find it disgusting how he hid it from 88 to 96 and how he later gave fake blood tests to "prove" he was hiv negative to launch a boxing comeback. He even had a couple boxing matches in the late 00s. He could have infected his opponents due to boxing being a sport with open cuts etc. and he clearly was a very selfish man without much or any empathy.

Only when we hit our early 30s do we start to realize and ground ourselves.

[@mlee9734]

One of the things that separated him from other heavyweights and is rarely talked about was his combinations. He put together 4 and 5 punch combinations all the time. Making it tough on an opponent especially since they weren't use to it. I would have liked to have seen what he could have done if he was totally dedicated. Although his chin still would have been a problem. His better conditioning could have kept him away from some of those hard punches. Seemed like a nice guy. True shame

[@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692]

that's the thing.. when you're dead tired, you get hit with shots you would otherwise not get hit with, and it also stings a lot more. This is what happens, when you start thinking you'll knock everyone out in 3-4 rounds. There's always someone out there, who can take a lot more than everyone else you'd ever faced. Mercer wasn't a good fighter by any stretch of the imagination, but he was extremely durable and tough.

[@truthmatters142]

Excuses, excuses. He was good, until he fought actual contenders. Merciless Ray exposed him, and it was all downhill from there. 😹😹😹😹

@@truthmatters142 What exactly did he expose? That he was getting hit so hard it made him fart and nearly shit himself? Morrison tired out, end of story. That's on him. Not on Mercer being better. Just better prepared, which ultimately matters. Just like Lewis could've gotten the beats from round 4-5 on, considering he was starting to tire too and dropping his right hand. But that's no good when you're not in shape.

[@mlee9734]

@@truthmatters142 uh, yeah mercer knocked him silly. Again, his chin. But those first few rounds showed he was awesome. If mercer didn't have a chin of granite he would have been knocked out in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round. You can't simply push Morrison aside. He was a greater boxer. Especially as heavyweights go. But his partying and suspect chin is what stopped him from being a great.
