Let's not forget though that Mercante Jr. is responsible for numerous late stoppages. He lets the fights go until the very end, no matter what situation.
What I like about him is that he does force the fighters to fight. Clottey would have probably quit against Cotto if given the chance.Last edited by TheGreatA; 06-06-2010, 06:14 PM.Comment

Arthur Mercante jr. is a disgrace to boxing. It's not the first time that I see him having such an attitude like in the Cotto-Foreman fight. Problem is he likes to stay in the limelight, and he doesn't pay enough attention to the fighters' safety: he's probably too busy showing his pretty face to the cameras. But somebody should explain him that punches hurt.
He also doesn't show the minimum passion for his work. He should've been banned already but I presume he has influent friends up there. What a disgrace.Last edited by Nick Name; 06-23-2010, 04:53 AM.Comment

I started disliking Mercante in the Cotto-Judah fight.
He seems more interested in how many times he can use the term "suck it up" than doing an effective job of managing the fight
Yo Mercante, it's about the fighters, not about you!Comment

I love how he always acts so upset when a low blow happens.
Forrest low blows Quartey... OH VERNON, COME ON!
He about shed some tears Avril style when Cotto low blowed Judah twice.Comment

Lol, what a jerkoff. Daddy must be "proud" of him
Really, how sad is that for the memory of Mercante sr., a really worth professionist, that is son is such an ass... Instead of honoring his father's job, he takes advantage of it to play it lazy. What a disgrace
Man I wish that someday he gets a flying punch and takes a trip to the canvas, that would be some HBO boxing classic material.

Arthur is the man, he lets them fight. I did noticed how upset he got when foreman kept falling. He actually says **** in one of them funny ****Comment

Truth is the guy's border-line. He does have experience as a referee, so that he (or people think he) can stop the fights right on the edge of legality (and that plays good for the show) but like I said, he enjoys being in the spotlight too much. He wants to become, I don't know... Like "The first big-mouthed referee of aaawl tyyymes"... He's too reckless to be "the man", as you say (and any reasonable man who has watched the two videos below would agree), but he's enough confident due to his father's "good word" in the business and probably also to his connection with boxing-involved mob or similar.
