Morrison Defends WBO Title In Bizarre Ring Night
In Kansas City at Kemper Arena Tommy Morrison retained the WBO heavyweight title with a fourth round technical knockout of Tim Tomashek after challenger Mike Williams withdrew citing a joke like miscue. Williams manager and promoter Bob Arum condemned the defection as theft of services and aroused crowd refunds. Tomashek from Green Bay described training as work and joked about the surreal setup while Morrison mocked the late fiasco. Morrison later pressed the crowd and shared his frustration with the events on a chaotic night.
