I liked Thomas. He said after the fight that Morrison was the hardest puncher he's ever faced.

I thought the cut over Pinklon's eye was from a head butt but he stated in an interview it was from a punch. He said Morrison was the hardest puncher he ever faced.

Are you guys nuts! Tommy was not a great fighter in my book. Good fighter? Ok. I’ll give him that. But not great. Not much skills and did not fight great boxers.

Interesting fact for Morrison haters out there: Bowe fought Thomas 4 months prior to this fight and it was stopped after 8 rounds. It took Tommy only 1 round, besides Thomas always admitted that Morrison was the hardest hitter he ever faced in a boxing ring.

Those left hooks to the body... you can see Thomas wince. There are 2 landed in the last 30 seconds, and Thomas is walking in post holes back to his corner. That's why he quit. Morrison had one of the best left hooks in heavyweight history.

Pinklon Thomas sure could take a punch that's for sure. I came to this video after watching him fight Tyson. It's amazing the punches that man can take without going down.

Yes, his business in TRAINING and discipline needed to increase as he climbed the ladder 🪜 of competition because that is exactly what his competitors were doing. Plus, just out of the argument of SAFETY, it is a big deal. Especially when one's energy can be a little down despite good training. He just really wasn't mature enough, and John Brown, his trainer, quit training him after Tommy lost to Michael Bentt. This was supposed to be a "tune up" fight for Lennox Lewis.

The body shots hurt Thomas.

I think tyson would beat morrison but Tommy had a harder punch. heavier hands than tyson. Tyson had a much better chin than morrison.
