The big comeback roars on. Former world heavyweight champion Tommy 'The Duke' Morrison will box on a Top Rank fight card at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Houston, Texas on Friday, April 27. Morrison, 38, will take on 'Dynamite' Dale Ortiz, 28, in a four-round bout. This will be Morrison's second bout on his heralded comeback. On Jan. 22, he returned to the ring, fired a hard left hook and stopped John Castle in the second round in Chester, West Virginia. "That was my first fight - and win - in 11 years," Morrison said. "I am determined to keep it going." In the main event on April 27, Argentine fighter Sergio Martinez will take on Saul Roman of Mexico in a 12-round eliminator. Featherweight Jose Aguinia, from Oxnard, Ca., and Joe Morales of San Antonio will open the Telefutura telecast in an eight-round bout. Big puncher USA Olympian Vanes Martirosyan of Glendale, Ca. is also on the Top Rank fight card. Tickets are $100 VIP, $50 and $20. The Ticket Hotline is 832-256-5110.

He's done as a fighter, he should hang em up. It's really unfortunate that he lost his prime years, because even if he wasn't meant to be "the one" in the HW division he was still entertaining, but hey, shit happens.He should call it a career.

Hahahah Razor went down like someone picked him off from the stands with a sniper rifle. That was a real good fight though, both of them had left hooks that could go through brick walls. I'm a fan of Ruddock's though, that mother fucker could punch haha, "the smash" was sweet too.
