Tommy Morrison Wins 1st Round Victory Due To Referee Stoppage
June 10th, 2007
Yes, and there was blood, but not from Tommy Morrison, so no HIV worries for now.
There has been a lot of controversy about the 38-year old former heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Morrison coming back to the fight game and whether or not he is HIV positive.
Tommy Morrison made short work of South Dakota’s John Stover, a part time fighter who accepted the match only earlier today. The fight was promoted as being Tommy “The Duke” Morrison’s MMA debut, but the rules were officially changed just hourse prior to the fight to make it a stand-up only fight, with 4 oz. MMA gloves. No ground work was allowed.
Tommy Morrison entered the arena to booing fans after making John Stover wait for him in the cage for ten minutes. Tommy Morrison landed several punches to Stovers dome, broke Stovers nose which started gushing blood before Stover retreated to the cage fence before getting pounded on the head some more from Tommy Morrison. The referee stopped the fight due to the punishment Stover was taking, and the unanswered strikes from Tommy Morrison.
