Morrison fight cancelled

Associated Press 4/27/2007 8:25:56 PM HOUSTON (AP) - Former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison was pulled from a scheduled bout Friday night because state boxing officials didn't get the results of lab tests in time. Dick Cole, boxing administrator for the state's Department of Licensing and Regulation, said a Houston doctor, Jorge Guerrero, examined Morrison on Thursday and cleared him to fight. But Guerrero never filed the paperwork required by the agency, Cole said. Morrison told Houston television station KRIV he was stunned when he learned the fight was cancelled. ''I've done everything I was asked,'' Morrison said. ''These blood tests can take up to eight days. Yet they bring me in here five days before the fight. It almost feels like a setup.'' Cole said the agency is trying get the issue resolved.
