    Joe Hipp

    I just found out that Joe Hipp is from my hometown. Being that my hometown has about 400 people, I'm not sure how I missed this. I'm new to boxing and just now getting into the history of it. Anybody got his story?

      It's just funny to me, b/c he's a southpaw from my hometown, and he's only a few years older than me. I probably knew him in passing. Anyway, thanks.

        He broke Tommy Morrison jaw and his right hand with his own jaw. LOL Joe was a tough SOB

            he got the better of Tommy for a while but he pulled it of, fought seven rounds with a broken jaw and 5 with a broken hand.
            Hipp got a broken jaw and broken cheek bone

                Morrison-Hipp was a pretty good fight.

                Morrison had heart for days.

                  the only time i saw Hipp fight was when he got stopped on cuts by Seldon for the WBA belt on the undercard of Tyson's first fight after prison against Mcneeley, that was the weakest and least exciting pairing for a HW title fight.

                    Luved Joe Hipp. He was a real blue-collar, take your lunch-pail to work type of fighter. He always came up a little short in the big ones, though...just a notch below; but tougher than a nickel steak.

                    Get his autograph, if you can.
