Ray Mercer "Going Back To Boxing" After getting Demolished in MMA

[jamesbrown]

That 'hugging, rubbing, and sweating' made Mercer tap.

well really it made him 50k a price most would pay compared to Mercer last few boxing matches it was a walK in the park...
Really and alot safer for his old ass i'm glad that he is in mma that will keep his brain safer than boxing

No U CanT Teach An Old Dog New Tricks.. He Probably Didnt Train For Nothing But Boxing Cuz Kimbo Lied And Said He Was Going To **** With Him .. Then Rushed Him

Thats what I said when I heard about the result. Kimbo said he was gonna stand toe to toe with him. Someone must have told him that he would get his gold teeth knocked out if he did that so he just rushed him. **** Kimbo.

isnt he like almost 50 I think he is 48 now, thats to old to be fighting anyways

Mercer should just stop fighting period, but he probably needs the money. Going back to boxing would make sense because that's what he's best at. He looked confused in the MMA fight against Kimbo and was definitely out of his element. The only thing though is if he goes back to boxing he might get hurt and at his age I think he's already taken enough punishment.

I've made this point on MMA vs boxing threads before. I think MMA is alot safer for the fighters.

Also people are saying Mercer fought Kimbo because he needed the money. That says something that an ex-HW champ is having to fight in a MMA show because he is hard up for money. It actually disgusts me how most boxers are exploited by the managers, promoters and other hangers-on that rob them blind.
