A friend of mine was at the fight and said he was dropped just after the final bell rang and never got up. He won the fight however by SD and got busted up badly.
Will he give up now?

Anyway in regards to Moorer....
I don't understand what happened.
Moorer got dropped AFTER the final bell.
Then that fight should end in a DQ win for Moorer if he was dropped after the final bell.
Also their is a rule that a fighter can not be saved in any round inlcuding the last round so if he was hit BEFORE the bell rang and the ref began the count and the round ended BUT he still didn't get up then his opponent should have won via TKO.
He said the other guy was going for the kill in the final round. Moorer got hit just after the bell sounded and was dropped. It sounded like it was not intentional hit after the bell, just happened as the bell was ringing and it was not allowed.Quote:

I cant find anything on the net about the fight.
I did hear Moorer DID get off the canvas, but could hardly stand up.
They ruled the shot that knocked him down happened just after the bell and rung....
I don't know what Moorer is trying to prove by still fighting? He is long past his best days. I know the guy is a bit hard headed you can tell that by some of his interviews but still I also think he is smart enough to know he is not going to win a title or even become close to getting a shot. His last quality win was over Vassily Jirov over 3 years ago. Jirov was even more of an undersized heavyweight then Moorer. It's been a decade since he even took part in a world title fight.
He has had a pretty impressive career. Former light heavyweight champion, two time heavyweight champion ( or was it 3?). I wish I knew what went through these fighters minds and why they insist on fighting when they know they are past their best. The last time I had seen Moorer speak was on ESPN Classic Ringside series and he had the punchy drawl from too many hits to the head, time to hang them up he has a family go enjoy your time with them.
He was training a prospect heavy weight for a while also. Then the kid left and Moorer decides to fight again. Just get some new fighters. Moorer is smart enough to be a good trainer. Definitely needs to stop fighting now.
Honestly who cares?
The best thing Moorer ever did was get knocked out by a 45 year old George Foreman.
The second best thing Moorer ever did was get knocked out in 30 seconds by Tua.
Generally, he's a jerk, who has long overstayed his welcome as a fighter. If he wants to train fighters, cool, I'm sure he would make a good trainer. BUT he needs to retire, to quote Larry Holmes, he has become "a fat slob impersonating a fighter".
Juan Manuel Lopez won on this fight card. Just thought I'd add that.

You're 100% right. I saw something on HBO about him, and the guy was a total prick.
Not even a likeable one (Mayweather, Judah, Hamed, etc...) Michael Moorer is a straight up butt-hole.
People like Moorer should have their licence taken from them. Its only a matter of time before they get seriously injured. Same for Holyfield who is wrecking his legacy. We will soon have fans growing up not even knowing he was actually a class Cruiserweight and in his early days a damn good Heavyweight.
I will remember Michael Moorer for being sent to sleep by a Grand father.
I don't necessarily think Holyfield is wrecking his legacy, that legacy is there no matter what. Embarassing himself yes, but not wrecking anything. The fans who grow up, if they are serious about the sport, will know very well the accomplishments of Holyfield. As far as Moorer, I could never stomach him. I don't know how Teddy Atlas put up with his mouth. Of course, Moorer probably never had a chance to say anything because Teddy was most likely always running his croaker. :blahbla: :blahbla: :blahbla:Quote:

I dont think it is fair to say that Moorer should have his licence taken away. He has every right to fight if he wants to even if some of you would like to see him stop. Hes the one in the ring and its his legacy he is affecting. Moorer wins a SD and people criticize him for fighting, and Tua barely beats Hawkins and Salif and nobody says he should be suspended. All of these guys should be able to fight if they want, with the exception of Bowe reguardless of their performances as long as they arent getting kod consecutively or taking unnecessary punishment..
I read alot of things on here some true some hurtful. I grew up with Michael Moorer in Monessen PA we are still friends now. I will admit at one point he was very cocky when he was with Emmanual Stewart and he was 27-0-0 with 27 knockouts and won the lightheavy weight title. The first person to do so with a 100% knockout ratio. Again he was young and he came from not having alot to everyone back home wanting something from him trying to get a payday out of him. He had an very bad attitude but at the same time would still give a stranger the shirt off his back. on several occasions he would just walk up to people and ask them if they had food or give them money or stop his benz and give a homeless person a money. I am not saying back then he was a saint by far but the michael moorer I know now I just went down south Fl to see him and I met him at the dr office with his neighbor kid that hurt his knee and his mom could not take him to the dr so mike cleared his day and took the boy and sat with him for 3 hours and paid for it.
He is a different person. I realize that this may not mean anything to most of you but if there is one person that cares I am happy.
As far as fighting is concerned he knocked out couser recently and his also his next two fighters before this fight.
If he is still winning why should he give up his license to fight that is how he feeds his family. He is not getting his head beat in but of course that is what people like to think.
He has 51 wins and 4 losses which is really good for boxing and anyone that fights knows that.
Anyone can be beat but right now he is winning so I think that deserves some respect.
GOB BLESS YOU GUYS I had no idea men had so much hatred towards eachother.
I support anyone who has the courage to get in the ring and fight Win lose or Drawl and the people that box should feel the same

If boxing fans here feel tha Moorer is cocky and or a jerk then that's because that's what Moorer gave us as fans at the moment in which the cameras were turned on him. I know about Moorer the boxer aside from what you listed he was also the very 1st Southpaw to become Heavyweight Champion.
Moore is not the 1st or the last to come from nothing to something theirs been plenty and they will be plenty more in the future.
If Moore came across as a jerk or cocky then thats a choice Moorer made. Not his people, not his friends but Moore.
Theirs been plenty of fighters who came from nothing who had lots of people waiting back for something. Like the fighters owed them something but they didn't act like that.
I just feel that whatever Moore did or acted he is responsible for. If Moorer is the way you say he is and has done thos things for people that's great.
You nor Moorer should feel you owe it to people to make up for the way he behaved at one point cause us the fans aint here keep a tally on the goood and bad things he did. He owes all that info. to the man up stairs he and only he.
About Moorer giving up his liscence I agree with you ikecapone Moorer is entitled to work he needs to earn a living and thats his 9-5 why should he have to give up his liscence? Hes wining fights and that's what matters. If the Athletic State Commission feels Moorer needs to be tested I'm sure they will have him checked and tested. But until then I think Moorers entitled to work for a living.
