It doesn't really matter now, tho'. FWIW, it was pretty clear what younger Ray was doing with Morrison; draining his tank until he got sloppy and...you know the rest. Far as this one goes; at 44 you're not taking many temple shots like that (they're harder than they look) and staying on your feet, no matter who you are. Briggs was not a George Foreman, but he was still a strong dude; and even Ray (who I liked a lot as a fighter, possibly best of all) probably fell for real. If he was gonna throw it, he would've chosen a better situation; maybe he just decided to go with it here instead. I can't blame him; old bodies ain't built for this sport.

ahhh that is life and I love Mercer but looks like he took a fall, the punches had ZERO follow thru and the second "punch" did NOT land at all and the 3rd "punch" GLANCED off the top of Mercer's head, the first "punch" that started it had little on it and had no follow thru momentum. There are two possible explanations - the first "punch" hit Mercer in the temple and was enough to hurt him or he took a dive. The 3rd or fourth replay shows an angle where you can see the 2 and 3rd punches barely had contact. Briggs pulled back on the punches and Mercer did a phony stunned look moment hesitation to sell it as he prepared for his landing, nothing about it looked like a genuine ko to me but he was 44 yrs old here and the first temple shot might have hurt him legit, love the memories of all his prime fights though.

The punch in the temple (or maybe a rabbit punch after) will definitely at least set you on a knee at 44 years old, "iron chin" or not. Wouldn't be hard to hurt anyone by holding and clubbing them like that. I just think it's funny how many people posture and chirp over a 15- year-old fight like it was last week.

@@tonygajate5780 seems sad. Part of what makes fights and fighters and the whole game great is the relevance; the conversational energy that contributes to an atmosphere that everyone in the larger culture wants to watch. Just like in the music business, the endless rechewing-over the distant and long-settled past deprives the present of the oxygen and buzz that the past benefitted from when it was the present. It's a virtuous cycle; an era was considered "great" bc people cared about it, and more good things happened in response to that care; and that care lasted until history enshrined that era. This era seems poor and thin partly because it's starved of that care; while ever more energy is lavished uselessly upon previous ones. Seems like fight fans, like older music fans, forget the importance of their role in creating the culture they want, in the present. I hope that changes soon.

I know they do this for money, but it is sad to see an old Ray Mercer being used as a punching bag. He should at this point in his career really hang up the gloves and find other sources of income.

Looks like Mercer was looking for a DQ win (rabbit punches). He was behind, so it was his only shot at winning.

Mercer just basically gave up......that knockout blow was nothing compared to the shots that Mercer took from Tommy Morrison.......Ray was taking a beating before he viciously knocked Tommy out.

@ravenaussie3760 Жыл бұрын
He wouldn't have even knocked Tommy out if one: Tommy hadn't got caught in the ropes, two: Mercer didn't keep punching him way after he should have, and three: the referee did his job properly.

That was just an old fighter who wanted out! Mercer had a chin of granite, no way those two little shots would have him out like that! He was losing and just decieded to quit! Briggs was and still is a beast! Let's Go Champ!

Do you even know Briggs? He's known for being powerful. And like you said, Mercer was old, so his "chin of granite" was probably worn-out. Also, a chin of granite doesn't really help much with punches to the top of the *head.*

Ref demanding fighters touch gloves was ill advised. They stopped doing that because you could cause fight to happen before the bell and touching gloves means nothing if not done by respectful fighters.

The reff was standing directly behind briggs guess he didn’t see briggs hook and hold him with his left while hitting him with a few rights while mercer was actually inside the ropes smh the 80yr old reff should’ve broken that mess up what a horrible ending to a otherwise boring fight. Briggs had 11 yr on mercer plus 3 inched and 20lbs should’ve ko’d him with body shots like he did to other out of shape fat fighters. Comments on here talked about the fix being on hmm🤔they might be right! Let’s goo champ lol
