Quote:
Former WBO heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison will not be fighting on tonight's Top Rank card in Houston. On Thursday, Morrison weighed in, was cleared to fight by Dr. Jorge Guerrero, and even told by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that he was licensed. However, inexplicably Dr. Guerrero failed to promptly file the paperwork and as a result Morrison's state boxing license was never granted and the plug was pulled on the bout. If it's any consolation for Morrison, the state's top boxing official Dickie Cole said Tommy will be licensed in Texas when all the paperwork is in.
