Two of the nearly men for different reasons Gary through injury, Ray through just being short of elite level.. Good match this with 2 respectable chins and some bombs flying.. Who ya got fellas... How would the bookies price it
Seems like the sort of fight where you go ought to with the guy who's got the better chin. Hard to deny Mercer's chin.
I hate to say it, cos I loved Big Gary, but I actually see Mercer coming on strong near the end, and stopping him. Ray takes Gary's best shots, as does Gary his to start with. But by the middle fight, Masons eye is closing fast and he's slowing down. By the tenth, Ray's coming on strong, and the ref waves it over.
