Fight Night Champion: Tyson, Frazier & Morrison on Boxing’s Brutality

EA Sports' final push for their product includes a short film called "Still Standing." The documentary-style shoot brings together Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison and Bernard Hopkins to discuss the dangers professional boxers face in and out of the ring.

“This is a thinking man’s sport. The tough man is going to get hurt real bad in this sport.”

We’re a little over a week away from the release of the highly anticipated Fight Night Champion. EA Sports’ final push for their product includes a short film called “Still Standing.” The documentary-style shoot brings together Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison and Bernard Hopkins to discuss the dangers professional boxers face in and out of the ring. These men know those realities all to well. Tyson made and lost a fortune, and spent several years in prison on a rape conviction. Joe Frazier still carries the psychological scars of Muhammad Ali’s social and racial verbal attacks on him in the 70s. Tommy Morrison’s career was cut short in the 90s after a positive test for HIV. And Bernard Hopkins used boxing to turn his life around after spending nearly five years in jail for armed robbery.

“Still Standing” comes out on February 28. Fight Night Champion hits stores on March 1.

  1. At work moment, I check the vid later… Wasnt Tommys test wrong though, wasnt He found not to have HIV in the end???

    1. He says they were wrong, but refused to take tests to prove otherwise that were supervised by commissions. He started fighting again in places that didn’t require testing. For awhile, he tried to submit his own negative tests, but those were considered forgeries.

    2. To add, Tommy appears to have lost it to some degree. He says can teleport himself and regrow limbs lol He also believes that HIV/AIDS is a myth. I’m not a doctor but even just looking at this vid he doesn’t appear healthy.

  2. wow i didnt know he was crossbred with dr spock and a worm, what a nutter lol im gonna check both the vids now… judging by the look of him from that still he looks maad ill…
