Lewis Vs. Mercer is on ESPN 2 Now

This was a very important fight for Lewis because he was in there against a teak tough Mercer. Lewis proved he was gutsy and had what it took to stay in the trenches and grind out a win, which he deserved in my opinion. He rattled off some great combinations, in what was a very entertaining fight.

 

Mercer was a very tough fighter in his prime.

 

Mercer did some damage to Lewis in that fight.

 

I'm in the process of rewatching the fight.

Can I ask how you gave the second round to Mercer? He had one flurry in a round that Lewis was bouncing combinations off him....:think

This seemed like a CLEAR Lewis round if you ask me. :deal

 

I'm a Mercer fan, but I thought Lennox did just enough to pull out a win. It was a very entertaining fight, and every time I watch it, I HOPE that Ray somehow pulls off the victory.

 

This fight deserved a rematch

 

So... 6-4 and "you could be wrong about some of the rounds"? :think


Most of the Lewis haters cry about a "robbery". Does that sound like a "robbery" to you? :think

 

Lewis clearly won the 2nd round

 

I remember watching it live and I wanted so badly for Mercer to pull it off, but as I recall, I had Lewis winning by a round in an extremely competitive fight where Lewis showed his mettle and matured into a better fighter on that night. The biggest surprise was how effective Mercer was with his jab! I think he actually out jabbed Lewis that night but Lewis had a slight edge in effective power shots which ultimately led to the victory.

 

"Just getting warmed up"?!!! You are so full of ****. You really are. Klitschko spent half the sixth round holding Lewis and falling all over the ring. It took him an age to stagger like a drunk back to his corner. When his corner stuck butterfly stitches all over his face, which you're not allowed to fight with of course, he didn't even notice. When the doc came over and checked him out, he didn't even notice until about ten seconds later that he'd told the corner their man couldn't continue with his face in that state (and they didn't disagree with him you notice, this coupled with the butterfly stitches shows they were pulling him out anway). I won't even make an issue of the fact that half his face was falling off (six cuts I think it was, no doubt you're going to blame them all on 1 punch in the third or Lewis' hair). Yes Lewis was very tired, yes he took a lot of punches in that fight but it was Klitschko who took most of the damage. "Just getting warmed up" lol

 

I had it to Lewis by two if I remember rightly. The small ring helped Mercer a bit I think, he was a good fighter though and tough as ****.
