You know what’s crazy about this fight? This was Holyfield’s come back fight out of brief retirement and who does he choose? The dangerous & capable Ray Mercer
Evander Baer Mercer at his peak. Mercer was in the best shape of his life for this fight. Evander best a lotta fighters during this era whoever at their peak. @@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson
Briggs & Klitschko knocked Mercer out, albeit an older version, later on in his career. I had Mercer two rounds up before the knockdown, it was Holyfield's rally in the last two rounds that saved it for him.
Holyfield fought everyone, unlike Bowe and tyson and I came up a tyson, Morrison and lennox lewis fan, but to holyfields credit he ducked no one, and fought so many wars against the best of the best, would've liked to have seen him fight whiterspoon only because he fought everyone else
Mercer was doing really good up until the later rounds, where Holyfield took over. Would have preferred to see Tyson vs Mercer before he got a shot at the WBC title.
Un combate de desgaste, en el cual, Mercer tuvo sus opciones en los primeros asaltos de la pelea, pero la resistencia y mejor condición física y técnica de Holyfield, le permitieron , ganar con cierta claridad la pelea, a partir del 8 asalto hasta el final. Es bueno mencionar, Ray Mercer, físicamente se notaba, falto de ritmo y utilizaba la trampa de falsos agarres y caídas para ganar tiempo y aire, porque sin duda , estaba bastante limitado de resistencia. En suma, en mi opinión, justa victoria de Holyfield, que mostró mejor posición en el ring!!. Muchas gracias!! , Boxing Classics by Gary Wilson, por compartir esta pelea intensa , que tuvo lugar casi siempre en la corta distancia!!. Saludos con gran agradecimiento, por ofrecernos grandes peleas de la historia!! Rafa desde España
Tommy Morrison was on the juice and his trainer told Mercer let him wear himself out and then knock him out and that’s exactly what happened. Holyfield is not on the juice and if Mercer thinks that he is he’s mistaken.
