This Memorial, a formal expression of remembrance and honor, acknowledges the life and achievements of boxer Tommy "The Duke" Morrison, who was born in Gravette, Arkansas, and passed away in 2013. It highlights his remarkable boxing career, including his amateur success, his role as World Boxing Organization heavyweight champion in 1993 after defeating George Foreman, and his impressive professional record of 48 wins out of 52 fights, noting his powerful punching ability, particularly his left hook. The Memorial also references his acting role as Tommy "The Machine" Gunn in the film "Rocky V," and resolves that the Arkansas House of Representatives will remember Morrison for his legendary boxing skills that brought him and the state renown, with a copy of the resolution to be presented to his son.
