...from mortician to technican.
"This transformation of one of boxing's premier powerhitters from mortician to technican (from Moorer to Snorer?) was too abrupt...fans...didn't expect Moorer to blind them with science and use 39-year-old Bonecrusher Smith as his lab patner. No, they thought Moorer would, at best, leave The Bone with a compound fracture and, at worst, transplant his marrow."
"I think after today, people will say Michael Moorer can fight and can box, too."
-Jeff Ryan. The Ring. April, 1993.(1)
Within fourteen months, Michael Moorer would have a new trainer, Teddy Atlas, and after a unanimous decision over Evander Holyfield, Moorer was the first southpaw heavyweight champion in history.
