Un combate de desgaste, en el cual, Mercer tuvo sus opciones en los primeros asaltos de la pelea, pero la resistencia y mejor condición física y técnica de Holyfield, le permitieron , ganar con cierta claridad la pelea, a partir del 8 asalto hasta el final. Es bueno mencionar, Ray Mercer, físicamente se notaba, falto de ritmo y utilizaba la trampa de falsos agarres y caídas para ganar tiempo y aire, porque sin duda , estaba bastante limitado de resistencia. En suma, en mi opinión, justa victoria de Holyfield, que mostró mejor posición en el ring!!. Muchas gracias!! , Boxing Classics by Gary Wilson, por compartir esta pelea intensa , que tuvo lugar casi siempre en la corta distancia!!. Saludos con gran agradecimiento, por ofrecernos grandes peleas de la historia!! Rafa desde España

I had Mercer two rounds up going into the 8th, it was the knockdown & Holyfield's last min rally which edged it for him.

Yes Holyfield would often do that during his peak years, the sign of a great fighter

Yes it was very close for the first seven rounds but Holyfield sucked it up as he often did in the closing stages.

You know what’s crazy about this fight? This was Holyfield’s come back fight out of brief retirement and who does he choose? The dangerous & capable Ray Mercer

Holyfield always got the best version of the guy because everyone thought they could beat him but Evander always found a way

Holyfield fought everyone, unlike Bowe and tyson and I came up a tyson, Morrison and lennox lewis fan, but to holyfields credit he ducked no one, and fought so many wars against the best of the best, would've liked to have seen him fight whiterspoon only because he fought everyone else

Mercer was doing really good up until the later rounds, where Holyfield took over. Would have preferred to see Tyson vs Mercer before he got a shot at the WBC title.

One of the few times l've seen Mercer knocked down .

Briggs & Klitschko knocked Mercer out, albeit an older version, later on in his career. I had Mercer two rounds up before the knockdown, it was Holyfield's rally in the last two rounds that saved it for him.

Bravo HOLYFIELD !

Holyfield wasn't at his best here but imposed his will on Mercer and dug deep and pulled it out

Would have loved to see Mike Tyson vs Ray Mercer.

Tommy Morrison didn't realize that he punched himself out and was caught and knocked out.

Ray mercer always needed that one extra gear..

Nobody SCARES EVANDER HOLYFIELD, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE !!!

Holyfield has a soft spot on the side of his head and a couple times when he was punched by Riddick Bowe he fell down

15:47 - 40:54

Klichko put mercer down bro

Perhaps the most roided boxer to ever grace the ring? Evander had skill and a lot of heart but also a lot of help from the juice.

Holifil v s merser

they found a needle in holyfeeld vein from roids

Klichko put mercer down bro
