Somebody forgot to tell Bentt this was supposed to be a tune up for Tommy 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love hearing Foreman's commentary.

I hated to see Morrison lose, however, I was really happy to see Bentt win. I watched Bentt's pro debut and I his mentality wasn't right. He was closing his eyes when he punched. He looked really scared. After this upset Bentt looked terrible in losing to Herbie Hide. Morrison came out with no regard whatsoever for Bentt's punching power and paid the price.

Maan Bentts cornermen went crazy, they were like we going to Red Lobster tonight!

Bentt looked very confident in this fight.

I was never a huge Morrison fan but still I give him credit for being a big time puncher. I especially liked when Morrison, as Bentt was crying, walked over and gave him a pat on the back. That is sportsmanship and this army vet loves that. You are missed Mr. Morrison.

I wouldn't say Morrison had no chin, the problem is that he would get so wild, winging shots, that he would leave himself open to accurate counterpunches that caught him flush and because he had no defensive skills did not know how to cover up and hold to buy time..

R.I.P. Tommy Morrison. #Salute

Bentt blowing bubbles as he enters the ring is classic. And watch the slow-mo... Bentt sees the opportunity and takes it, that was no lucky punch. Tommy was out of it after that hammer of a right.

Too bad Tommy Morrison lost this fight but without the loss this 10:04 would never have happened. 😀

Bentt lost his WBO title 6 months later and suffered brain injuries in his 1st title defense. He then retired due to medical advice and went to acting school and became an actor. He was Sonny Listen and Will Smith's sparring partner in the movie Ali. Tommy Morrison never fought in that Arena again. Morrison went on to defeat Razor Ruddock two years later and captured the IBC title in that bout.

I was at this fight. What a disappointment this was. When Morrison entered the arena, the place was rocking. It got silent in a hurry.

This was such a wonderful moment for Bentt. So happy for the big guy. RIP Tommy.

R.I.P Tommy

Tommy`s corner shuda had him fighting smarter instead of going in trying to blitz the guy in the first round and getting caught like that.Big George talks sense here. George Foreman,greatest ever

2:32 did not age well r.i.p the Duke

Tommy literally got Drunk at a Concert the Night right before this Fight & his face looked a little fat going into the fight. Tommy did not Train , he thought he was going to walk right through Michael Bentt & showoff for the Hometown Crowd in this "Tuneup Match". Foolish to think your just going to walk right through any heavyweight period. & "Tuneup matches" really only exist when you train for them , how is it a tuneup if you don't train for it , then you're not tuning nothing you're just knocking the rust off instead of tuning the skills you've been developing. He was Not Sharp here tonight , never even got a real chance to put his power on him and even when he got hurt he didn't cover up he just tried to throw bombs and get him out of there even faster so you can tell he didn't train for this one with those rookie mistakes but at the same time anybody can get cought off-guard by a good shot which is all it takes especially in the Heavyweight Division & its the ones you don't see that truly hurt you. The only way to take a punch is to get punched , train & get conditioned to taking punches which toughen's up the Skin etc. Also conditioning , once you get exhausted its way harder to stay on your feet. Once you really get dazed you already want to sit down without any help. So when you go in literally Hungover from the Night Before , it's a disaster just waiting to happen. Evander Holyfield said George Foreman hit him harder than Mike Tyson and everybody else , Tommy proved that when he trained he could go 12 rounds box effectively stick to strategy and take a punch because he took everything George Foreman had to throw at him that night he took some of Foreman's best punches but Tommy's Mom said that Tommy poured his heart soul and mind into Training for that Fight because he was terrified of George Foreman lol. He also withstood some serious bombs from other hard-punchers like when he got his jaw broke & broke his hands in the Joe Hipp fight yet still came back and knocked Joe Hipp out with a broken jaw and busted hands. I think Tommy had an amazing chin when he was determined & took his opponents seriously. When he trained Tommy was Sharp Fast Strong had a great chin and very decent defense , but when he didn't train this was the result. Tommy ultimately partied more than he trained but even still he only had 3 losses in the heavyweight division & over 50+ Wins which is pretty incredible given his lack of discipline according to his coaches. His coaches said if he had just shown more discipline he could've became the best boxer in the world which should be a cautionary tale for us all. He sure looked like 1 of the best in the 1st 3 rounds of the Mercer fight but lack of conditioning & steroid usage turned the tide quickly , steroids are meant for short bursts of energy not for longevity , Mercer said he knew that all he had to do was wait for Tommy to get tired and run out of gas so he went All In just making sure he stayed on his feet then seized the opportunity at the 1st chance. There are just so many factors involved in combat sports that the person who is more disciplined will usually always win the critical matches!

THIS FIGHT TOTALLY EXPOSED TOMMY MORRISON. He had a good left hook and hand speed but he also had a GLASS jaw. If you had the skills and durability to take his left hook (which was his only real weapon) Tommy was TOAST. Bentt was an average fighter, and he knocked out Tommy in one round. And Tommy was in his PRIME.

Ouch. Hometown hero returning home as the heavyweight champion and got demolished in less than 2 minutes quite easily.

Morrison was partying the night before this fight which was his achilles heal during his career

Its freaking painful to see this, never should have happened. It was not so much Tommy`s chin that was the problem ( which definitely wasn't the best) He just wasn`t that good defensively, and did not know how to hold on when he got hurt. No matter what, he`s still one of my favorite heavyweight fighters to watch, always exciting.

At 8:55 it's clear he's drunk. Morrison's accuracy is better than that, I'm pretty sure he was out drinking the night before.

10:04 what a crack up

R.i.P. TOMMY Morrison . A great fighter .

The mullet gave him power. Tommy was like Samson or something. He fought so much better when he had that mullet.

Little did Morisson know he was about to take an early nap.

10:04 Greatest moments of sport history

George Foreman checked Larry Merchant on his disrespecting the then lesser known WBO. He's saying, "You trying to clown. You're a company man"

"Any man over 200 pounds can hurt you" Tommy Morrison 1969-2013 RIP

Tommy didn't have the best chin but his lack of defense was his main problem. Even after the 2nd knockdown here Tommy didn't try to tie up Bentt. Nor did he block Bentt's attack. He had heart either way. RIP Tommy.

6:05 Michael Buffer: From Kansas City, Missouri, Danny Cambell. Danny: :D Crowd: BOO.

The Espn 30 for 30 on Tommy Morrison brought me here

The announcers had already given Morrison the fight... boy were they wrong!

I really hate when commentators discredit the challenger before the fight even begins.

The truth....look at Tom's eyes as he's waiting for the bell to begin the bout. He looked like he was tired and puffy-eyed.

Great, fast counter right hand by Bentt. Straight as an arrow, textbook. Morrison apparently wasn't trained to hold on and survive. That has to be second nature, drilled into a fighter. This is boxing, sooner or later you're going to get clocked- you gotta be able to get through it by any means necessary...

Boxes and trainers makes the best commentators those journalist know nothing about boxing 🥊

Over-confidence can catch up to you quickly.

Hahah 10:05 ASS CRACK by one of the members from the Bentt Camp

Hahaha, I just love when the referee asks Tommy if he's OK, while Bentt can't wait to smash that bum...Morrison was scared like a chicken after that second knockout, you can see it in his eyes...he knew that he would be destroyed soon...lol

This fight has everything. Merchant's 2001 comment - Foreman's Whistling through the graveyard. ☺Bentt forgetting to take a dive. Morrison's hype + glass jaw. Last but not least. Ass cleavage @ 10:04 LMAO!!!

You can see how far the WBO has come. In these days the WBO Champions were barely even named. They were called "Contenders", rather than Champions.

Morrison didn't train a lick for this fight and spent the previous night drunk.

yeah how embarrassing i really felt that when Foreman said that looking at him the whole crowd goes quiet Morrision thought he was going to finish him easily and this would eb a tune up fight for an easy payday and boom...yeah embarrassing

There is a great netflix documentary about Bentt. Worth watching.

Foreman plays down Bentt..Meanwhile Morrison made Foreman look the fool. The reason Bentt beat Morrison is because he took the initiative AND THREW PUNCHES! One of the most decorated amateur boxers in US history, Bentt won four New York City Golden Gloves titles, five United States Amateur Boxing Championships and three (New York State) Empire State Games gold medals.

"And there goes Tommy Morrison's eight million dollar payday"....Truer words have never been spoken. After Bentt won, that would ruin it from happening. He did get to fight Lewis, but it was for a lot less money, and Lennox just kept climbing back to the top.

Foreman was crying more than Bentt. I am sure on different reasons.

He didn't seem to know how to hold when he's hurt

I don't know why Morrison got all that excited when nothing really landed on Bentt. Dude just lost his balance.

Unbelievable.

Boy he really got nailed.

Foreman's comment that "Morrison is embarrassed more than anything in the world" is idiotic especially when you see the obviously dazed looked on Tommy's face after that nasty first punch put him down.

He fought like he was the under dog like he was the shorter man

A very expensive lesson 😂😂😂😂

the right cross at 11:53 a proper bell ringer

Shout outs to El Pollo Loco and El Plaga for this amazing win! lol

I came here after watching "State Property 2"...I had to see Bentt in action.

Bentt just flew in punching after the 1st knockdown.

Morrison should have destroyed Bent, and would have if he didn't leave his chin hanging out...Morrison was fast and powerful but fragile and a bit wild.

He got the bent overture!

u bounced alright with lennox off the damn floor

Tommy was so unprepared. Like most great athletes and warriors throughout life? Women&Booze destroyed Tommy

Tommy Morrison Rip 🙏

He was a great fighter mismanaged. He needed a better a coach and would have had a greater career. RIP MY FRIEND

Come on Tommy, it aint about how hard you hit...

Tommy beat Foremam running away like Bolt avoiding George's huge punches..

State property 2, I saw a highlight and wondered if Biggs really did fight Morrison. True

John Wayne's real name was Marion Robert Morrison.

This is basically "Buster beating Tyson" But the diff was Morrison NEEDED this win. He was nowhere near financially successful as Tyson.

This fight proved that the brutal ass-beating Morrison received from Ray Mercer was no accident. He simply didn't have what it took to be a championship boxer.

This was his prime.His entire career he was young and in his prime

Tommy's left at 9:50 should have stunned Bentt more than it did. Look at his eyes as the left lands, and you'd think it would have rocked him more. Bentt had so much adrenaline pumping, nothing was gonna slow him.

You can tell at 11:04 that Tommy's trainer was giving him a good scolding. People close to Tommy say he was out drinking the night before.

At 10:04 Bentt's trainer was celebrating while mooning the camera. 😂

10:03 Butts out for Bennt.

1:23 Beavis and Butthead laughter

Lol....had to let him know " this aint Rocky 5"

The kinda fight that makes you think " how the fuck did that happen "

If you go back and look at this fight when they're showing the review it's two guys in the audience that just immediately started laughing when Morrison gets knock down that had me cracking up

Ah the tune up fight...so fickle

thank you for all Morrison fight!

Morrison's aim let him down, missing those uppercuts is bound to tire you!

Goes to prove the boxing Theory the better puncher doesn't always win! Michael Beat Tommy with technique!

MF legs buckled like tooth picks

Tommy was a great fighter. So unfortunate he had a weak chin. Good thing he didn't fight Tyson!

Theres a documentary about Michael bent on netflix called losers. Very good watch

When I hear Larry Merchant, it means turn the sound off.

A very expensive lesson alright lol

Great fighter

So much for The Great White Hype ! ! ! After Morrison got out the hospital, his 1st stop should've been rehab. That fight was embarrassing as Hell. Losing a Heavyweight Championship fight in your home town by getting knocked down 3 times in the 1st Damn round & then getting Knocked out is fucking sad ! ! ! R.I.P. Tommy Morrison

Ayo, Tommy! I didnt hear no bell

TM came into this fight 38-1 with 33 kos. Foreman had just got it out of his mouth "the question is can tommy control his burts?" Just as he was swinging wildly and got caught.

Later on his friends said he wanted a hometown celebration before he’d go on to fight for titles elsewhere. This fight costed the kid a fortune & probably was the biggest event that turned his life in the wrong direction.

Morrison just couldn't clear his head after that first knockdown.. If Morrison just had 15 seconds to recover he probably would have went on to win this fight.. But Bent was a great finisher and took full advantage of that short window of time to get Tommy out of there..

Sluggers always get caught eventually. They take huge risks. Morrison, Tyson, Tua. Pure power, but all got caught out by boxers.

🥊 "Tommy Morrison's biggest beatdown & lost" 🥇

Tommy Morrison, may he rest in peace, was way overconfident when he came into this fight. He committed the cardinal sin of underestimating his opponent and not taking him seriously.

Every now and then a stepping stone wanna get big on you

Saddest part of all is the only thing will remember morrison for is hiv.
