Broken Arrow, OK --- The Rumble in the Rose District was set to be the largest sporting event the city has ever seen. The event was orriginally planned to be outdoors, but Oklahoma weather had other ideas; however, that did not hurt the turnout.
Oklahoma's own Trey Lippe Morrison (son of boxing legend Tommy Morrison) was set for the main event of the evening, but scheduled opponent after opponent was unable to make the fight.
Morrison said that he felt sorry to all of the fans that showed up, and that he hopes to make a return to his backyard sometime in the future.
Another Oklahoma athlete made his professional boxing debut on Friday night. Jon Hill is from Oklahoma City and is a mixed martial arts fighter with 16 years under his belt. Hill was asked 48-hours prior if he would fight and agreed to it.
Hill stepped into the ring and less than one minute later the fight was over. Jon Hill won his professional boxing debut by knockout in 48 seconds of the first round.
