could give Klitscko real problems. I however feel that Klitschko is fresh and
will force out a one sided battering. He may stop Mercer late or wide
decision.|

looked very good stopping Mercer in the sixth round. Mercer was still on his
feet but taking too much punishment. Klitshko dominated the action and scored
the only knockdown with a left hook at the end of a combination in the first
round. Mercer did cause a slight abrasion under Klitscho's left eye and
swelling under both eyes with a good jab but otherwise Mercer never really was
in the fight. Looks like Lewis verses Kiltschko is going to be the next big
fight in the heavyeight division. |
|6/30/02 05:59:51 AM|Evren|LOndon||@||||10|I agree Kent, Wladimir looked very
good - but it was a little flattering to deceive with the way Mercer was. Ray
has always been one of my favourite fighters - sharp, hard punching with a real
buzz to his fighting style. He unfortunately has none of that left. His punch
resistance has gone also I feel. It really saddens me seeing 'the old boys'
taking a beating like Mercer did - it tarnishes their reputation. In the entire
pantheon of history it's hard to think of but a handful of heavies who got out
the game wothout taking a beating. Tyson, Ali, Frazier, Norton, Louis, Holmes
all took a beating at the end. George Foreman never took a real beating where he
lost -he took a beating in the Moorer and Stewart fights but still won. There
are but a few men in history who could ever match the toughness of Foreman. I
think that aspect is overlooked as people always see his punch power as his only
asset (and it was a good one). A definite top 10 heavy of all time for me. I
admire him tremendously. Evren.|
|6/30/02 07:42:15 AM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|Holmes vs. Louis. A
battle of jabs, with Joe landing some strong body shots. Larry scores more, Joe
does more damage. Both men are shaken up, Joe does more body work and this
slows Larry down late in the fight. Louis goes down from a right in the fifth.
Joe catches Holmes in the last round and puts him down but can't finish him.
Louis in a close decesion. Lewis vs. Ali. Lennox ain't slow but Ali makes him
look like he standing still. He also looks awkward against the silky smooth
Ali. Lewis is much bigger, at 245 is 33 pounds heavier,3 inches taller and 4
inches in reach. Remember, Liston had an 84 inch reach and he was only 6'1".
Ali comes out fast moving in and out jabbing to the head and body. Lewis is
much stronger and hits harder and Ali avoids clinching, when they do Lennox
lands some very effective body shots. Ali is scoring more with combinations.
Lewis can't find Ali's head, but the body work slows Ali down. Muhammad ends the
last 3 rounds with flurries. In the end Ali wins a 7 to 5 decesion. |

match six months later, Louis KO's Holmes in the 7th round. |
|6/30/02 04:12:04 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Yes, I am not
sure how beating up an aging ex contender Mercer does to show what Klitschko can
do. If the Mercer of a few years ago, the one that gave Lennox Lewis hell,
where in the ring last night and he landed more powerful right hands on
Klitscho, the fight would have maybe taken on a far different meaning. As it
was, Mercer landed the right the few times he threw it and the jab connnected
numourous times. Mercer may have seen openings but most of time he couldn't
react fast enough to take advantage of them. We still can't be sure how good WK
is even though he looked very good last night agaisnt Mercer. |

through after a tough battle with Lennox. The last two matches in this round to
be called tonight.|
