Si mercado estuviera en esta época de peso pesado decadente sería campeón mundial sin dudas

Awesome fight between two bombers. For Mercado to get up after that bomb, wow!. No one fights like this anymore. Would love to see Mercado's fight with Berbick.

Me too!

El poderoso Ernie Shavers no sabia que Bernardo Mercado tambien tenía un gran punch!!! en Colombia comparaban los golpes de Mercado como " una patada de mula " . Gran pelea .

@mauricioduarteo y que sabes de mercado que pajo con el man ?

Thanks for this. Does anyone have Mercado-Spinks?

el record final de la carrera de mercado termino muy bien al parecer

I'd like to see Bernado Marcado's first round of Trevor Berbick.

I remember watching this one at the time it happened. Shavers was past his prime but still dangerous. Mercado was a plodder with a heavy punch. Mercado was later exposed by Leon Spinks, if you can believe that.

@vickyb1ornone well u cant always go by a boxers record plus boxing is just like that u have ur good days and you have ur bad days iv seen 7-11 guys knock out 13-0 guys iv seen 0-4 guys knock out 9-2 guys all that matters is what u bring to the table the night of the fight

And the most amazing part of Mercado surviving Shavers' best is that 8mos.later,on the Ali-Holmes undercard,oct.2,1980,he was stopped in 9rds.by the worst heavyweight to ever wear the crown,Leon Spinks.....go figure!!!
