    Pretty close fight and great effort by Mercer. Who did you have winning? I do think Lennox would have beat him more decisively in a rematch.

    Always score it for Lewis by 2 rounds every time I watched it. Mercer did very well but he simply didn't throw enough punches to win enough rounds. He never had Lewis hurt and Lewis usually responded to a Mercer assualt by returning fire, often in combination.

    Don't remember my scorecard but it was really good fight. I'd pick Mercer to spark out the current champs at HW, especially that lanky windmilling bum from Tuscaloosa.

    Mercer emptied his tank after 3 rds, and just toughed it out to the finish while getting hurt in each rd afterwards.. Never did enough to win.
    6-4 Lewis giving Mercer every possible close rd.
    7-3 a reasonable score.

    Mercer won rounds more clearly, but I thought Lewis did enough to bag six and earn a legit decision.

    I wanted mercer to win. Always been a huge fan of the Merciless one. Not always a lewis fan. Something about big giants fighting in a safety first manner never appealed to me. Don't ge me wrong, I appreciated Lewis' skillset. But still, not my cup o English Jamaican Canadian tea. But he eaked out a close win.

    The Mercer he fought, and who brutalized Morrison, would be an undisputed Champ today though. Shows how much the division has regressed.

    I remember Lewis landing a very hard low blow and Mercer didn't even flinch. It was like the guy's whole body was made of iron.
