    It defintly would be worth watching, Lyle was powerful but mercer had a iron chin.
    My money's on Mercer by t.k.o mind rounds

    Great fight. Too close to call.

    Great match-up and a tough call.
    A real pick ‘em bout, IMO.

    Strange, but I couldn’t help but think that Lyle would probably have fought Mercer the way Lewis should have. And, if he does, he wins by decision.

    Mercer by sixth round stoppage ,after having a blistering attack from Lyle .Mercer would have everything thrown at him ,but keep coming forward .

    Lyle by decision. Mercer was way too inactive and Lyle was durable enough that Mercer isnt pulling this out with a stoppage. His three best wins are Cooper, Morrison, and Witherspoon. I thought Spoon beat him and I dont think Cooper or Morrison were in Lyles class.

    If Lyle can resist the temptation to brawl, he should outbox him.
