Considering what we now know about Kimbo this farce had to be a dump job .. Mercer had many moments where he could have teed off on a wide open Kimbo and didn't ... thoughts ?
Of course it was staged. Mercer did it for $$ It wasn't even a boxing match. Mercer was too washed up to box anymore so he took that sideshow for some quick cash.
Mercer had absolutely no ground game and he said he went in their expecting to box with Bimbo You know your submission game needs work when Kimbo taps you.
No it wan't staged. What moments did he have? Kimbo closed the distance immediately and pressed Mercer against the cage. Mercer was nearly seated against the cage and was in no position to throw meaningful punches. Once it went to the ground Mercer was choked.
Years ago I always felt the boxer with his finely honed hand techniques would beat any other combat sport fighter. In reality these are all different sports with different skill sets. Mercer had no place in that ring that night. Conversely put Kimbo in the ring under boxing rules and he would have no chance either.
Yeah, I always felt Mercer took a dive. No way in hell he KO's the former UFC heavyweight champion, yet can't KO, Kimbo.
Sylvia stood in front of him like an idiot and got laid out, Kimbo immediately rushed him against the cage and took him down. I don't see what's so hard to believe.
Mercer had plenty of opportunity to knock Kimbo out when Kimbo was teeing off on him, yet chose not to.
Mercer and Kimbo had a personal agreement for a standup fight, but Kimbo ***** break it because he knows he would had ben knocked out
