Ugh Kenny Norton's chin against Mercer's bombs will not be a pleasant sight. On the other hand Norton was a fine boxer and Mercer was not such a great boxer, and also kind of low output. Could go either way I guess. Norton might be chugging along and then the next moment he's drooling on the canvas. I haven't thought about the specifics, to be fair.
Norton has a small chance of steeling a decision if he doesn’t get caught against the ropes or find himself pushed on the back foot. But if he gets locked into a flurry from Mercer he’s likely not getting off the hook.
Mercer was less Foreman and more Quarry as far as power went, Norton wins in a UD in an entertaining slugfest
