02:16on come on
02:19he'll lay his spirit and admonition to get this heavyweight fight going you know that Mills wasn't happy with the
02:25course of the last fight he doesn't want to see that again and he's the referee two in a row
02:29he's trying to pep him up I predict he won't see it again with this kid Tommy Morrison he really
02:34lets it all hang out
02:3520 year old Tommy Morrison of course Ray Mercer getting a lot of attention by virtue of his gold medal
02:40Olympic victory Morrison not having anything like that to hang his hat on but he won 222 amateur bouts
02:47against only 22 feet in the semifinals of the National Golden Globes and Tim he can punch with that left
02:52hook Ken LaCousta in red Morrison in black
02:59his last outing a six round decision over Lorenzo Kennedy and like Ray Mercer he was unhappy with that performance
03:06his director Sylvester Stallone might have been too because that's a fight that they used to film during the filming
03:13of Rocky V and they were sure expecting a one or two round
03:17knockout from the hero and they didn't get it well they thought it was a very disappointing performance but his
03:22manager Bill Kate he said there were so many distractions with the Sylvester there's a big left hook there's that
03:28left hook
03:37just on that one leading with it
03:43just on that one leading with it LaCousta ties him up
03:44it's fun and hit him with a pretty good right hand up because
03:49and again Bill Kate said the distractions of Stallone and everybody else being in the corner affected his performance
03:57my job you've got two hands free in there all right time let's get the help let's get back come
04:01on
04:01I don't want to go Tommy Morrison
04:05they brought the crowd alive here at the lodge
04:09probably made Mills Lane happy too
04:12right
04:12although he is not really direct free
04:14he's neutral but he wanted to match it that's what
04:16that's what he was trying to stir up there with his final instruction
04:19see what happens with Morris and he keeps looking to land that big left hook
04:23what he should try to do is set it up
04:24throw a couple of right hands to the body
04:26come back with that hook off the right hand if you watch
04:28look he's always looking at the big left hook
04:30there it was again
04:41let's see if he sets up that hook with the right hand
04:45hey the money
04:50it's very impressive that the big press conference here for Leonard Duran fight very well spoken young man
04:55and a lot of friends with a very classy little speech
05:01well I like the way Morris keeps his hands up very nice in front of his face
05:06there he goes
05:07throw that big hook again
05:08big line big line
05:10sometimes you know they've got to work around that hook
05:13teach him how to set it up
05:14snap a jab out a couple of times then faint the jab
05:17there's a jab
05:18he tried one jab
05:18he tried one before to the body
05:21now I would do one to the body and one to the head
05:23he did come back with the right hand
05:26he's in there
05:27and he didn't do anything
05:29oh he's not left foot
05:31that's what he was the ground number one as we see Ken LaCusta
05:34he has been in there with a lot of
05:37a lot of big name guys
05:38most of whom stopped him by a knockout
05:41Michael Doakes and Razor Ruddock
05:42Ruddock got him in one
05:45really do it
05:46last two over twelve rounds
05:49Trevor Burbank stopped him in the tenth round
05:51a Canadian heavyweight championship fight
05:53now let's look at that left hook right there from Tommy Morrison
05:57bringing it up from low down and landing with power
06:00and then there was the power but that wasn't
06:02it wasn't a very pretty left hook
06:04it's a long left hook
06:06you see he caught him on the end of the punch
06:07he snapped that a little bit more
06:09caught him a little short it would have been all over
06:12well a big one follows this heavyweight bout

07:08I just wish that he can

07:10I think he's going to be okay
07:11but right now
07:12he's got to put his punch together
07:13and lay off the power
07:14and forget about that big left hook
07:18takes more punches than just one to put a guy out
07:21there was that right hand to the body mark
07:24the way he's in there tight he's not working
07:29well swinging left hook miss
07:42he's moving away from the left hook

08:11Tim Ryan with marvelous Marvin Hagler
08:13oh
08:14Bill Clancy leads with it leads with that big left hook
08:17blow my hair all around
08:22the right hand
08:24the right hand
08:32Tommy Morris has started his boxing career in a tough man contest
08:37He is a solid fan.
08:39Scores another solid left hook.
08:41And that hurt Lacoustic.
08:43Lacoustic didn't hit right now.
08:46Right there, he's making mistakes right now.
08:48That was the go-home punch.
08:50That was it, but one thing, Marston,
08:52not coming back with the right hand.
08:53Nice left hook, right hand.
08:54It's one hand at a time, Lamar.
08:56He hasn't really put that together.
08:57It was all power.
08:59He has that power, too.
09:01Right down the pipe.
09:04Get that elbow down in there.
09:05Come on.
09:06Get that elbow down.
09:07Elbow that clunk.
09:10Nice.
09:11Nice body.
09:11That one hurt.
09:12Low?
09:13Low blow, and...
09:15Joe Blaine will give Lacoustic recovery time here.
09:21Lacoustic's gonna take some time.
09:23You want some time?
09:23He wants a minute.
09:24Bill's offered him five, and Lacoustic sent one on to do it.
09:27You know, like that.
09:28Well, because these guys are heavyweights,
09:30so they take a little bit more time.
09:31No, no, no.
09:32He's hard enough for him to take some time.
09:34No, no, no.
09:34Just in a minute.
09:35Here we go.
09:36Here we go.
09:37Here we go.
09:38Come on.
09:38Here we go.
09:38Nice.
09:39There we go.
09:40You should've took more time.
09:43And round two.
09:44I told him I'm gonna make a trainer out of you, yes.
09:53Now Marston might be scared that he didn't want that low blow.
09:56Come on.
09:56So now he's gonna go back to the big left hook again.
09:58Well.
09:59Time.
10:00Well, that's the end of round number two.
10:03And speaking of heavyweights, young and old, let's go now to our host Jim Hill.
10:09Okay, Tim.
10:09Thank you very much.
10:10With me is Jerry Cooney, January 15th, right here on your pay-per-view system.
10:13You'll see him take on George Foreman.
10:15And what is different about Jerry Cooney right now that's gonna make a difference in that fight?
10:20Well, I'm just healthy today.
10:21You know, I stepped away from the game for a while.
10:23Had a kind of end of my career.
10:25It was not such a great thing that took place.
10:28And I got healthy and I picked some good people to be around.
10:33And I'm looking forward to getting back in there and letting that bell ring with George Foreman.
10:38You talk about picking good people.
10:39Why in the world with all the trainers around, why would you take Gil Clancy and take him right away
10:44from the broadcast crew?
10:45Well, Gil Clancy and I go back some ways together.
10:48As a matter of fact, my 40 hours, he telecasted a couple of my bouts.
10:50And I used to go and visit him in the garden.
10:53And he's always something I admired.
10:55And I wanted to ask for him to come down and give me his advice and ask him if he
11:00feel like it's okay for me to come back.
11:02Jerry, thank you so much.
11:03Good luck to you.
11:03Okay, let's go back to Tim Ryan at ringside.
11:05All right, round three.
11:07And Gil Clancy's new protege, 33-year-old Jerry Cooney, out of retirement, coming up against George Foreman in January.
11:14Meanwhile, Tommy Morrison and Ken Lacosta here in round three.
11:18He looks very good, you know.
11:21Bobby, he said he is.
11:23As he said, he's a healthy guy now.
11:25Well, that's great.
11:26You know, I like him.
11:26I think he's a very good individual.
11:29Personally, he's a good friend also of mine.
11:32Morrison and the black trunks.
11:34Ken Lacosta in red.
11:35Let me tell you something, Marv.
11:36That's not going to help him a bit when he fights George Foreman.
11:39The fact that he's a good friend of yours.
11:40You know what happens is that they're about the same size, so they can help.
11:44No, no, Jerry's a bigger guy.
11:46Yeah?
11:46Oh, yeah, he's bigger than George Foreman.
11:48Big George is going to be little George in this fight.
11:50Well, in there, he can't be given to Jerry, I think, huh?
11:54Well, no, that's one of the things.
11:56But you know me better now, Bobby.
11:58But I remember that.
11:58Let's watch this kid throw these left hooks, though.
12:00That's all he's been doing.
12:02When you see a kid like this, Martin, I wouldn't you like to go on a gym with him and
12:05work with
12:06him to teach him to put those punches together to set up that left hook?
12:10Okay, I understand.
12:12Okay.
12:13All right, we'll sit back.
12:14Come on, we'll sit back.
12:16I need to go ahead and go.
12:18This kid, Marv, you've got great potential.
12:21You've got to settle down.
12:2320 years of age, he's a tremendous talent.
12:25He just gets it all together.
12:27We wonder sometimes why these guys take up boxing when they can stay in football.
12:31He is a former football player.
12:34But a successful one at the high school level.
12:36Showing a good jab now here in this round.
12:38Well, he's got that good stiff left hand.
12:40He can do anything with that left hand.
12:42But he, again, he's a little bite.
12:44Up to this point, he's been a one-hand fighter in this fight.
12:47I think he should use a jab more if he could.
12:51LaCosta trying to catch him coming in, and then Morrison landed with a left shot off the break.
12:57He's got a word from Mills Lane, the referee.
13:01He seems like he really don't want to win this fight.
13:04He's just in there, going through the motion.
13:07Well, a 16 and 14 record.
13:09He came in the course, you know.
13:11That doesn't really look as if he's looking to become the champion of the world.
13:17Come on!
13:18No, Mills Lane taking charge again.
13:25He gave LaCosta a pretty good left hand.
13:28Now Morrison, another left hook, bringing it up from down low.
13:33That one in the middle of a flurry.
13:35And what set it up was that right uppercut.
13:37He finally put two hands together.
13:39What happened is Morris made him fight.
13:41He's right now, LaCosta's right now.
13:44Here's the back right up to the rope.
13:46Here's the right uppercut.
13:47I'm starting in.
13:49Nice uppercut.
13:54Well, left misses.
13:56That's inexperienced.
13:57One fake.
13:58First set the guy up.
14:01It looks real tired.
14:01And that's the end of round number three.
14:03He wants to quit.
14:05LaCosta wants to quit.
14:07He wants to quit.
14:09LaCosta went down in round one and down again in round three.
14:12This time couldn't find his own corner.
14:13Not only couldn't find it, but he was calling the guys over to him.
14:16He wanted to set up a corner.
14:17Now, let's take a look at this replay.
14:19There's that left hook right off of Flurry.
14:22I think he was calling his fighters to tell him.
14:25He's calling his corner man to tell him to stop the fight.
14:29There's that flow again.
14:32And the knockdown punch second of the fight by Tommy Morrison and Sugar Ray Leonard got his game face on.
14:38That's for sure.
14:39He talked a lot about how he has really concentrated in his preparation for this bout.
14:44A lot of people feeling that that there is a lot of doubt to be raised because of his last
14:49outing against Tommy Hearns.
14:51And Ray Leonard himself admitting to distractions that he says affected his performance in that bout
14:57and has worked very hard to be isolated, focused on Roberto Duran.
15:03LaCosta, it seems to me, has lost all confidence in himself, Tim.
15:06He looks like he's looking for a spot to lay down, you know?
15:10Round number four scheduled for six.
15:13Morrison in black, LaCosta in red.
15:16Nice move by Morrison, but he missed the punch.
15:21Oof!
15:22That should have been it right there.
15:24That should have been the end of the good night.
15:26LaCosta just pulled his head back in time.
15:30Morrison holding and hitting and LaCosta complaining about it.
15:37This young man is a load, 114 pounds.
15:40He's actually giving away four pounds, but he looks much the stronger man.
15:45Much the stronger boy.
15:46He's only a 20-year-old kid.
15:47Got hit with a pretty good right hand in.
15:49Well, you know, maybe that shot will come up.
15:53Now he's using a right hand inside, Mark.
15:55That's helping him quite a bit.
15:58We see Morrison backing up.
16:00That was very foolish.
16:01That's the way any experience right there comes in again.
16:04Morrison got hit with a quick, solid left jab.
16:08He said he was just checking his mouth for blood.
16:11He was bothered by it.
16:12Well, LaCosta hanging in here on the fourth round.
16:16He's been down twice.
16:18He's been down twice.
16:18He's been down twice.
16:23He's been down twice.
16:25He's been down twice.
16:30He's been down twice.
16:32He's been down twice.
16:33He's been down twice.
16:34He's been down twice.
16:36He's been down twice.
16:37He's been down twice.
16:41He's been down twice.
16:44He's been down twice.
16:48I'm looking for that one big shot to land at any time now.
16:52We've got to put the punches together.
16:56Mark is going to get a little tired in him.
16:58Yes, he is, Mark.
17:06Well, he's exciting, Tim.
17:08Yes, he is.
17:08Really waiting for something to happen, for that bomb to land.
17:12Right here, he should cut the ring off.
17:14Mark, there was a chance to throw that right hand to the body,
17:17come back with the left hook on the chin.
17:19The perfect shot.
17:21Let's see when he gets against the rope.
17:23Keep the right to the belly, come back with that big left hook, he's got.
17:30Under 30 seconds to go, and round four of the scheduled six-rounder.
17:36Okay, let's get back.
17:37We have to go, we have to go.
17:42All right, let's get back.
17:52And Marissa told them it was a good play.
17:55Get out there, come on.
17:56Hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:00At the end of round number four.
18:05Hey.
18:06Candela Cooster complaining to Mills Lane about
18:09the referee pushing him.
18:11I've got enough problems in here with the opponent.
18:15Somebody else giving me shots.
18:19Tommy Morrison.
18:20You've got to pick up this round.
18:22Landing nearly half.
18:23More time in the punches through.
18:25You've got to do the combination.
18:27Try the straight right hand.
18:28More right hand left up.
18:30Okay.
18:35All the way underneath.
18:38You're going to get him with the right hand.
18:41You heard John Brown talking to Morrison.
18:44You get him with the right hand.
18:45I know you can.
18:45Have you hit him good yet?
18:49Okay.
18:50Mariela Cooster talking to
18:52Kim.
18:53In the corner please.
18:54In the corner please.
18:54In the Canadian corner over there.
18:55And we head into round number five.
18:57He's got him with the right hand side.
19:00Houston from Edmonton, Alberta.
19:02Tommy Morrison from Kansas City.
19:07Coming up next will be Leonard Duran free.
19:10Bruno Mars.
19:12Rubbermatch.
19:15Mariela Coaster were a mess up for that time.
19:17Nice short left hook.
19:18He's got to put his punches together.
19:20Go.
19:23You can see the potential he has, Bob, because I know you're pointing at all these mistakes.
19:27I'm looking at him.
19:28You know he has the ability.
19:30You can see the raw talent is there.
19:32I mean, I'm looking at his legs with his big, strong legs, you know.
19:36And he's probably still a body.
19:38Still a growing boy.
19:39He's only 20.
19:41Pretty quick hands for a heavyweight.
19:43Yeah.
19:44Oh, yeah.
19:44He snaps his punches.
19:47All right.
19:48One sit back.
19:48Hold it.
19:49Sit back.
19:49I don't know.
19:50Hit him.
19:50All right.
19:50Come on.
19:58Round five scheduled for six.
20:01Two knockdowns scored by Tommy Morrison.
20:04One in round one.
20:04Another in round three.
20:06The Cooster lands a good combination.
20:08And a good left hook.
20:10Finished off the combination.
20:16He's trying now, he's trying.
20:19You had him quit a couple of rounds ago, Marvin.
20:22I know, but he's trying, though.
20:24You never quit in there.
20:25I felt the same way.
20:26I felt that he was getting discouraged.
20:28Let's use the word discouraged.
20:29Discouraged.
20:30Ready to quit.
20:32Oh, you're a tough guy, Mark.
20:33I know it.
20:34Trying to get you off the hook.
20:35You go right back on again.
20:36I know it.
20:38I know it's not going to be a good one.
20:38I know it's going to be a good one.
20:40I know it's going to be a good one.
20:41Under the halfway mark of round number five.
20:43All right.
20:44Get off that neck.
20:45Come on.
20:45All right.
20:46Morrison has fallen in a few times like that when he gets close.
20:49At the point.
20:50At the point off here.
20:51I mean, that can be arranged.
20:52That can be arranged.
20:53See, this is what's happening.
20:55See, the Custer should not even try to talk to the referee.
20:58Do your job out there.
21:01That's right.
21:01It's bad enough fighting Morrison, but I don't have to fight the referee, too.
21:06Point taken away from.
21:07Nice.
21:08LaCousa.
21:09All right.
21:09Referee lane.
21:10Well, that's all academic, Tim.
21:11I mean, he has no chance to win the fight, LaCousa, unless he scores a knockout.
21:15He's been down twice.
21:16He's lost every round.
21:29He's lost every round, but he's lost every round, but he's in condition, Tim.
21:34He gave me a great compliment.
21:36That was excellent.
21:37And he's talking about my weight, you know, and what a good mark of a champion when they
21:41don't blow up so big.
21:42Right.
21:43It's very tough coming back.
21:47Did I hear, did I hear, uh, I mean, stay in that way.
21:51Oh, okay.
21:52Final seconds of round number five.
21:55Inspector Clouseau here was looking for a clue.
21:59A little slip of the Hagler tongue is the way it's going to be.
22:02No, no, no, no.
22:04You're looking at Ken LaCousa going back to his corner.
22:06We've got one more round of heavyweight action here before, you know, my, here's Tommy Morrison.
22:12The bucket right here.
22:12Get the fucking mother.
22:17We gave it slow.
22:19Not happy with something.
22:20That's a better round.
22:21You're doing more combination.
22:22You're at this round, you take him out.
22:24Half round, let me at six.
22:28Mark.
22:31All right.
22:34You got to get an alcohol.
22:35You did.
22:36You know what I told you to do?
22:40You do good.
22:42You do what you want.
22:51The round number six of the scheduled heavyweight battle.
22:54Unbeaten Tommy Morrison at 20 and 0 with 17 knockouts.
22:58I guess the veteran can look
23:00who's dead.
23:02Edmonton Alberta Canada.
23:03Well they told Tommy Morrison to
23:05get him out of here this round.
23:07The crew said we don't look over
23:08here and gave me a wink like
23:10everything's going to be OK.
23:11But I can't help him in there.
23:13You know he may have winked at
23:14you because he liked him off.
23:16He never taken any time.
23:18Tommy Morris is not following
23:20the alone script as well as it
23:23like him to I guess.
23:24Well the script would fall from
23:25the score and knock out the
23:26final round.
23:27Oh I see OK the round is not
23:28over yet.
23:29He did get the two knockdowns.
23:31That time he just leans on
23:33Lacousta now that gets a warning
23:34from his lacousta.
23:36He's a really good crowd.
23:40He wants to know he wants to do
23:41the referee to take a round on
23:43left and a right.
23:44He's got him in trouble with that
23:45combination.
23:46Morrison letting it all hang up.
23:48Oh look at Morrison.
23:49Look at Morrison.
23:50Some of that tough man
23:52experience coming out of this
23:54excited young guy.
23:55He wants to put on a good show
23:56here like all of these young
23:57rising stars.
23:59You want to go.
24:00Big night big crowd.
24:02Come on.
24:03You wouldn't know if you want to
24:04go and lose.
24:06You want to go.
24:07He wants to quit.
24:08Well he was butted by Morrison
24:10and Lacousta telling Laney that
24:12was a foul.
24:13But he got hit with some right
24:14hand before he wore that.
24:16Absolutely a left and a right.
24:17He took some right hand.
24:19Bought himself some time.
24:20Well see Morrison I was getting
24:21mad now.
24:22You heard him cursing in this
24:23corner.
24:25And he's coming out of the fight.
24:26Only way you can do it to this
24:27guy now is rough him up.
24:28I think he's right at it.
24:34Morrison really trying for the
24:35KO finish here in this final
24:37round.
24:40He beat that body.
24:42He beat the body that hit the
24:43head with that.
24:47That usually takes a couple of
24:48rounds.
24:53Thinking about a lot earlier.
24:57Both landed on that exchange.
24:59Lacousta is still firing to his
25:00credit.
25:01Well you have to give him all the
25:02credit in the world Tim.
25:03Everything's happened to him in
25:04his fight.
25:05He's still there.
25:06Yeah but you know the bad thing
25:07that he's doing right now.
25:08Lacousta's got his mouth wide
25:09open with the mouth.
25:10You get a broken jaw right.
25:11Definitely.
25:11He gets hit with a good left
25:12hook that jaw is going to go.
25:13He's easy to get knocked out
25:15like that to him.
25:17The mouth's open because he's
25:19exhausted.
25:21Omar is exactly precious.
25:23Good right hand by Lacousta.
25:27You throw a good right hand to
25:28the keep this guy off you.
25:30And then 30 seconds we go in the
25:32final round.
25:35Uppercut grazed Lacousta's chin.
25:45This Lacousta is a character.
25:47Maybe Stallone ought to use this.
25:50He's got a point there.
25:51This is Rocky like fighting.
25:53Isn't it?
25:54Both guys.
25:55Bending down now.
25:56He's not standing so much.
25:57Oh.
25:58Final seconds and Morrison lands a
26:00left and a right but it is all
26:01over with Lacousta on his feet.
26:02Give him a hand Tim.
26:05A lot of courage.
26:06I love points like this.
26:08Well that was an entertaining
26:09heavyweight strap for unbeaten
26:11Tommy Morrison and the veteran
26:14Ken Lacousta.
26:25There's Ken Lacousta and Tommy
26:29Morrison going back into that
26:32final round.
26:33You saw the damaging left and the
26:35right behind it and then
26:38Morrison throwing everything in
26:39his arsenal and this as you'll
26:42see in a moment here he comes up
26:43there's the headbutt.
26:44Boy caught him right under the
26:45chin.
26:47Of course Lacousta trying to tie
26:49him up more than trying to get
26:50free but you can't do that.
26:53That was a tough night in there
26:54for Ken Lacousta from Canada.
26:56And let's get the decision from
26:58ring announcer Michael Buffer.
26:59Ladies and gentlemen here's the
27:00official scoring.
27:01Dolly Shirley and Art Laurie both
27:03scored about 58 52 Chuck
27:06Jackson for the 59 51 for the
27:08winner by unanimous decision.
27:09Tommy the Duke.
27:15So it is the unanimous decision to
27:18knock down scored by Tommy
27:20Morrison and he is now 21 and 0.
27:22And let's go once again to our
27:23host Jim Hill.
27:28Okay Tim thank you so very much
27:30Tim Ryan and it was a lot of
27:31action in that spot and a lot more
27:32coming up as our main event.
27:34I think that's full of of
27:35Argentina is already into the
27:37ring.
27:38We're waiting in the appearance
27:39of Michael Doakes last time
27:40Doakes fought it was at 253
27:42plus pounds the night he's
27:44listed at 246 and a half.
27:46I still think that's too heavy
27:48for him but let's go to Daskola
27:49who comes in at 210 and a
27:52quarter pounds.
27:53He's 28 years of age amateur
27:56fifty four and two and a
27:57professional fourteen and two
27:59nine by knockout.
28:00The two losses that he suffered
28:02were both as a cruiserweight.
28:04He is a big heavyweight and he
28:07looks like he's taken a few
28:08shots to the nose and he looks
28:09like he could be a pretty tough
28:11hombre.
28:11Yes he has and he comes from
28:13Argentina and they've possessed
28:14some very good fighters.
28:16Carlos Monzon the middleweight
28:17champion.
28:18I think the ultimate middleweight
28:19champion of the world from
28:21Argentina.
28:22These guys are tough fighters
28:23and they're very difficult
28:25fighters to hit.
28:26All right.
28:27That's enough for Daskola for
28:29now.
28:30Michael dokes is in the ring and
28:32dancing around in his white
28:33robe he's handled by 92 year
28:36old Marty Cohen.
28:39And the last time that we saw
28:41dokes he fought Bakersfield's
28:43Lionel Washington right here and
28:45so badly out of shape dokes was
28:48trailing on most of the score
28:49cards in that 1989 bout when he
28:52connected with a good left hand
28:54and that had Washington in big
28:56trouble in fact so big that he
28:58couldn't weather the storm and
28:59despite a severe cut suffered in
29:01the second round on the forehead
29:03of dokes he was able to take
29:05Washington out and preserve an
29:07opportunity to climb the
29:08heavyweight ladder and maybe one
29:09day fight Mike Tyson for the
29:11title.
29:12Big fella in the 6 3.
