    Mercer. Chisora is tough as nails and deserves to be remembered as a warrior but he has lost practically every big fight vs a notable prime opponent except beating a faded Joyce.

    Mercer is the better puncher IMO and also a bit quicker and i think he should be able to score enough with his jabs and inside fighting to win a competitive decision.

    Agreed. It's a phone booth war, and whereas Mercer is just powerful enough to crack Chisora's chin, no way is Del Boy hurting Ray. I think it goes the distance with Mercer getting the nod, much like the Cooper fight.

    Mercer, I don’t rate him highly at all but this will most likely be a phone-booth war, and Mercer has the faster hands and tougher chin. They are equally hittable and while Chisora most likely hits harder they are too tough to put each other down anyway.

    Not much in it as they were pretty inconsistent but Mercer was the slightly better fighter.

    Mercer is better. I would back him to win.

    Even 'poor-form' Mercer beats Chisora.

    The best version of Mercer just takes the ****.

    Worst for best, Chisora, both at best, Mercer.

    Mercer's jab is the big difference here. Both are tough as hell but Mercer had a little bit better if a chin as well.

    Mercer, but if he turned up half assed like in many fights, he’d get outworked.

    You're going to take the slower, less rangy, less durable Chisora because he's bigger ? Lol
