    12 round bout.

    Should be entertaining ... who wins?

    What an absolute blast of a fight.

    I would take Mercer for the points win.

    The fans. The fans win.

    This would be pure and utter violence. Both men would be getting carted off to hospital.

    Depends on which Tua shows up. The ups and downs with his motivation is pretty deep.

    Mercer UD. Much better jabber. Too had limited skills

    I always saw Mercer as being a class above Tua.

    At first I thought Mercer.But then again if we are talking prime Tua, do not forget he gave Ibabuchi all he could handle.

    Close fight that is for sure

    You people remember the Mercer that showed up against Fergusson the first time, right? And got beat by a geriatric?

    To be real a 42 year old Holmes has a good chance against any version of Tua. We're talking about someone who struggled with the jab of Hasim Rahman...
