Ray Mercer vs. Jimmy Ellis

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Mercer would overwhelm Ellis with size and power behind his longer jabs and punches on the body and head to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Kind of tricky for me. I could see that scenario going down, but I also could see Jimmy winning a tough decision.

I'm watching a lot of footage of Mercer these days. Man, was he inconsistent!

But on his best day, I'd give him the edge.

I feel like the 15 round distance would f*ck Mercer up. Stamina wasn't his best attribute anyhow even in a 10 rounder, let alone a 15 rounder.

I gotta favor Ellis to take a decision, but he may have a hard go of it in the early to mid rounds of the fight.
