Comments Thread For: Tommy Morrison's Son To Train Under Freddie Roach

[Boxing Goat]

Tommys left hook was crazy, but he had generally really good technique too.

I think he cleans out the current heavyweight division.

I think his son will be the same way, roach is a offensive trainer, tommys son will be exciting.

Tommy is just not big enough to ever compete with either Klitschko. He did have a punchers chance against Wladimir though.

Grow up... The fact is, that Glass chinned, poor conditioned, AIDs having dead guy won have put you to sleep. Learn respect for the dead.

Tommy would have put 99.99999999% of the people in the world to sleep.

Aside from the Bentt fluke, he only lost to two elite gold medal world champs.

Tommy did well in a tough division. Respect.

I couldn't think of a better trainer for an offensive minded heavy headed boxer. Best of luck Trey! May the Morrison name fight on

Get him out of Okla. City and give him live bodies to fight who are on the same level. Theres no need to pad the record with OKC bums, that is the land of trail horses and bums. Get him in Calif. and get him in top condition and evaluate him over a 5 bout 20 month time frame.

Sadly the Bentt fight is hard to over look! Morrison was one hell of a puncher but often focused to much of his game on the left hook, not trying or using any of his other great quality and that was seen against Lewis.

People also seem to forget it was the 90's, one of the toughest heavyweight eras and Morrison competed with some of the best of that era!

From all the looking I have done, I don't think Trey even has a amateur record... So let's throw him to the dogs right? Damn you know nothing about building a fighter!

This is exactly what they should do till he hits atleast 10 opponents and then have him fight against some journeymen.

You can tell he posses the same power and speed that his daddy had.

that bentt fight was a damn shame. had bentt hurt and walked into a shot while he was trying to put the finishing touches on. I remember being crushed as a fan as I wanted to see him against lewis but bad for tommy that it happened later on when steward turned lewis into a machine

I expect to get great sparring at the Wild Card Gym and receive constant feedback from the training staff

I think getting trained by Roach and the other trainers at Wild Card, and getting the kind of sparring available there should help his development.

He looks like he has some tools to work with, but it's hard to learn much from his early fights...he hasn't met much resistance yet fighting on the Oklahoma circuit.

It'll be interesting to see how he does going forward.

But man, he really does he really does remind you a bit of his dad in the ring, especially when you see him fighting in those black "Tommy" trunks.

He doesn't have quite the physique that his father had, although that's not surprising (as Morrison did admit to taking steroids during his career).
