\"Trey-Show-005-300x225\"<\/a>Exclusive Interview by \u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 10th, Trey Lippe Morrison, 12-0, 12 KO\u2019s continues his boxing career when he takes on Ty Cobb, 19-7, 11 KO\u2019s at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami Oklahoma. Make no mistake about it, this is Morrison\u2019s House, who is also part of the Four State Franchise. Trey, a regular either on The \u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt Show or being covered by Ringside Report sat down with me to answer a few questions just a week out before his fight. <\/p>\n

BB: On December 10th, you face journeyman Ty Cobb, 19-7, 11 KO\u2019s. Ringside Report last year filmed you two sparring here in Tulsa for three rounds. Do you feel you learned anything in that sparring that will help you in your fight against him? If so, what?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes… \u00a0I need to box him, stay on the outside and use my jab. With him being shorter, he is going to want to be on the inside the whole fight. I like the inside to, but this is a chance for me to get better and use my reach and box him.<\/p>\n

BB: How is training going for the fight?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s going awesome! We have had a tough camp with sparring against Denis Lebedev and Lateef Kyode for this fight. It\u2019s what I needed to get better. They pushed me good!<\/p>\n

BB: Any predictions?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Nope, I\u2019m gonna go out there and do the best I can and what happens happens.<\/p>\n

BB: This past September, you had what I called your coming out party \u00a0on ShoBox when you destroyed undefeated Ed Latimore who at the time, was 13-0, 7 KO\u2019s. What do you feel that win did for your boxing career?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I feel that I went out there and did the best I could and took the openings I saw and tried to hit it. I hit it, thank God. As far as my career goes, I really don\u2019t know what it did, but for myself, it gave me confidence in myself and in my team. Freddie and I both thought the right hand would be open at the right time, it was, and I\u2019m just happy I saw the opening and could land the shot.<\/p>\n

BB: Early on and even today, but not as much from what I have seen, you have been in your dad\u2019s (Tommy Morrison) shadow to an extent. When you came on my show last February, you really wanted to do things on your own and I feel you are doing that. Do you feel at some point, the comparisons to your dad will stop and if so, what will stop them?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t think they will ever stop, just being honest (Big Laugh)<\/p>\n

BB: If you are victorious in this fight, where do you see your boxing career in 2017?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. As a team, Freddie (Roach), Tony (Holden), and myself are taking fights one fight at a time. What happens happens, there is no rush. We will keep moving and taking steps up when everyone agrees and is on the same page.<\/p>\n

\"img_5518\"<\/a>BB: Finally, if there is an afterlife and you can either bring your video games or action figures, which one would you pick to take?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I believe there is an afterlife with God and I won\u2019t need those things there. However, if I had to pick, I\u2019d say my DBZ action figures! I\u2019m proud of them!<\/p>\n

Hailey Weaver\u2019s (Trey\u2019s girlfriend) I also think he would pick his DBZ action figures. (Big Laugh)<\/em><\/p>\n
