Tommy Morrison vs. Michael Bentt
Tommy Morrison vs. Michael Bentt, billed as "The Tulsa Shootout", was a professional boxing match contested on October 29, 1993 for the WBO Heavyweight Championship.
==Background==
On October 18, 1991, the then-undefeated Tommy Morrison lost to Ray Mercer via 5th round knockout in his first attempt at capturing the WBO heavyweight title. Following his loss, Morrison would string together eight consecutive victories before landing another shot at the vacant WBO title against the popular 44-year-old former heavyweight champion George Foreman. Through the course of the fight, Morrison abanded his aggressive style and used constant movement to keep Foreman off balance. Though the pro-Foreman crowd booed Morrison for using the tactic, it nevertheless paid off as Morrison was able to pick up a lopsided unanimous decision, winning by two scores of 117–110 and one score of 118–109, becoming the new WBO heavyweight champion in the process. Originally, Morrison's first defense was scheduled to be against his ''Rocky V'' co-star Mike Williams, but Williams pulled out only an hour before the fight after refusing to take a pre-fight drug test. As such, Morrison proceeded to defeat unknown journeyman Tim Tomashek in what would ultimately become a non-title bout after the WBO refused to sanction the fight.〔(Strange Title Defense For Morrison ), Chicago Tribune article, 1993-08-31, Retrieved on 2013-09-30〕 A month prior, Morrison had reached an agreement to face the undefeated Lennox Lewis for Lewis' WBC heavyweight title.〔(Lewis-Morrison Bout Set; Both to Earn $8 Million ), N.Y. Times article, 1993-07-02, Retrieved on 2013-09-30〕 However, before moving on to face Lewis, Morrison chose to first defend his WBO title against the virtually unknown Michael Bentt, who was a highly decorated amateur, but had only 11 fights in five years as a professional.
