:D
Couple points:
First, is this how Mercer earned the name "merciless?"
Second, the ref must have been asleep during the fight.
Finally, this fight is a testament to good fighters(Morrison) who come back strong after a devastating losses like this one.
Honerable mention: Bozo for frequently posting awesome GIF's like this one. :)
all you people complaining about mercer being merciless. what, you think he got that nickname cuz it sounded cute? mercer was doing his job: trying to WIN.
the ref is to blame here. when you wanna stop a fight, you dont pull the attacker off, you get in between the fighters and wrap your arms around the fighter whos being beaten. and the ref was almost like saying "oh come on. thats enough, thats enough. take a nice slow breath and calm down".
boxing is not for the weak hearted, and neither is this KO. stop complaining. morrison is still alive, hes still walking, hes not been damaged by that fight, and hes not complaining, so neither should you.
you wanna blame some1 for this near-death experience? blame the ref.
can anyone tell me when this fight took place and also when did the lewis-mercer fight happen also. Lewis got the decision win but many people say that Mercer should have won the fight...
Lewis-Mercer was 1996 I think. I scored it a draw, but if I had to pick a winner, I remember thinking Mercer deserved it. I'd love to see it again though and score it more closely.
Mercer should have been disqualified. The ref put his arms on Mercer and he still punched Morrison two more times. That is why I celebrated when Mercer had his ass handed to him by Wlad and Shannon Briggs because he deserved it.
This clip is in super slo-mo. Mercer's fists were flying very quickly. He was firing away....& there was no way the ref initially touching was going to stop him.
Mercer did nothing wrong, nothing at all.
The fight took place in October of '91.
Mercer-Lewis was in May/June of '96.

Mercer is a dirty fighter if you let him get away with it, he's done that a couple of times. Gotta hand it to the Duke though, he showed more heart in that clip than I've ever seen Mercer show lol
bad stoppage, didn't even give morrison a chance to return fire
Man Fuego doesnt that fight clip make you feel old?
Hell you were three when that fight took place...its gotta feel like yesterday for ya huh?
