Kimbo Vs Mercer... HERES THE VIDEO

Poor Ray :-(

 

Mercer looked disinterested...Never tried to keep Kimbo off of him. Threw only a couple punches, when Kimbo was wide open the whole time they were on the inside. Got taken down by the most pisspoor takedown move I have ever seen. Then tapped out in a matter of milliseconds. Gets right up and looks fine.

One of two things are evident with that absolutely disgraceful display.

1- Ray was just there to get a paycheck

or

2- The fight was fixed all along.

I know #1 to be definate. Two.....definately suspicious.

 

No version of Mercer would have stood a chance with those rules.

 

Haha, I loved how everyone on here was cheering for Ray, it's Kimbo's time to earn some bread, good performance by the man, and he even shelled Merceer with some punches early...nice fight (compared to what people were expecting).

 

Your telling me Ray looked like he was even attempting to put up a fight there? What did he throw 3 punches and get Kimbo into a headlock that he let go of 2 secs later?

It was a disgrace. Ray went to collect a check or he got two checks...one for fighting, one for losing. Again, disgraceful.

 

When did Dick Vitale start doing MMA commentary?

 

The things we do for $$$$ $50,000 is $50,000 I suppose.

MMA is a DIFFERENT GAME!!! Different sport with differnet rules, related in nature perhaps, but very different things none the less. A boxing match would have been more exciting, IMO. But hey, Kimbo actually looked as though he trained seriously and won the MMA fight. Who would have won the boxing match, I wonder?? Mercer looked shot regardless.

If you threw Kimbo in a boxing ring with Klitschko, Peter, Brewster, etc?? He's going to SLEEP:good Conversely, those fighters may not fair so well in an MMA fight.

 

this ****ing makes me sick

 

It looked like Kimbo was the one that wasn't really up for it.

 

If Mercer would have been trained by Couture or Rutten or someone who's very experienced in MMA , maybe things would have been very different.

The thing is that you can't expect a top striker to KO everyone with ease if takedowns and submissions are involved. It doesn't work like that in real life.

Prime or old version of Mercer ...doesn't matter. You imperatively need some basics in wrestling and submission defense.

 

Kimbos physice is verry impressive! I think he should try a real boxing match against an yourneyman and lets see if he can do that! He has proven that he can do MMA but can he hang with a pro boxer, even a poor one?? I doubt it! But i would like to see more from Kimbo and i would love to see this Monster to get KOed!

 

That fight didnt demonstrate wether Mercer was shot or prime. No, it didnt even question that...it just demonstrated how boxing in itself is very limited in MMA rules.

In a boxing match Id predict Mercer to masacre Kimbo inside 3 rounds.

 

Wait, i thought you could just dance your way out of a takedown with footwork, or at least catch those terrible glass jawed MMA fighters (which Kimbo isn't even that) on the way in, since they are so wild and unskilled and boxing is so perfect for self defense, and the only thing you ever need.

This was clearly a work, all Mercer had to do was circle around with footwork and it would have been over with the first punch landed....right mma haters? Thats all I've been hearing from you, so what now?

 

Moved to the MMA forum.

 

Man I thought Kimbo was 50 years old. atsch
