Ray Mercer is an absolute legend for this. So many boxers talk shit about other fighting disciplines but don't have the balls to step into the ring/cage, but Ray is an animal and he took his chances.

Mercer gave Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield some of their toughest fights He gave Musashi a strangely competitive fight And finished Sylvia in 8 seconds. He fought some of the best in boxing, kickboxing and UFC and gave all them a challenge.

This wasn’t competitive buddy. Musashi kicked the shi out of him. Sylvia agreed to have a stand up with him. Kimbo Slice submitted him in round one. He quit against Bonjasky after one high kick.

Musashi literally got rocked in the fight and the fight went to decision obviously it was competive and the thing with kimbo is kimbo can also box he has a very impressive career for losing very few times in mma and boxing and the high kick yeah idk he just gave up pretty weird cause he couldve won or atleast went to decision.

Holy shit, Mercer is a tough dude

I agree with the first part of your comment. Boxing is nearly always looked down upon by MMAers, when in fact there is a lot of boxing principles in many martial arts.

Both very tough guys. Ray eating those kicks was amazing and still going forward.

Wow, much respect for Mercer. Someone else here talked about him moving in to a midrang kick then hitting him with a cross. Musashi really went into him last round and it was too much. Great fight, K1 was the best.

Musashi was 32 at the time and Mercer was 43.

Musashi Really make Karate looks good and Mercer it's a Tough Guy he survive against a Pro Kicker, Mercer have more courage that all the modern boxers today.

no fair. Ray is a great boxer. Musashi a great kickboxer. And they both gotta eat. damn man Ray was beautyful in his prime.

Exactly....he quit. Regardless of the Kick's effect on him. If he would have lost his equilibrium, we would notice. He would have immediately lost his balance--and would've dropped or been on rubber legs. He was obviously not severely injured, he simply quit, This is coming from a long time Merciless Ray Mercer Fan.

got to give credit to Ray, he took so many leg kicks and was able to last all rounds.

mercer respect

Ray was always an underrated beast 🥊

Fair play to Ray who took his best shots and kept moving forward the whole fight.

@Tren Kokoko bigger as in more people know him or in upperbody wise?

You do know that Mercer has been suffering from liver disease since 1997.He never had a great fighting brain or the application to technical adapt himself to a new fighting style ,but in his boxing prime he had a great chin and was a rock hard puncher .He just needs these fights to pay his bills and MMA wants his name to be in the winning records of their most marketable fighters.BTW the kick that Bojansky landed in their fight was right on target on Mercer's temple.

I give Mercer's credits for wanting to continue fighting toward more Art Martilistic disciplines and toward younger guys. He stood up against the best in boxing. He whacked Morrison bad back then!!!

This isn't Boxing...This is Kickboxing.

Very interesting fight, thank you.

Ray fought with tough guys. Musashi never was a champion but he always was cool fighter.

This is hard to watch. I gotta give it to Mercer though, even past his prime he doesn't give up. I'm not a huge boxing fan but when it comes to going the distance these guys are really tough.

Theres a lot of snobbery around these days from people who have watched a few ufc fights and jump on the dana white bandwagon, but without boxing where would those fighters be, every mma fight starts off with boxing so the snobs who want to say boxing is dead really should learn to appreciate the higher level of that art, one day someone in mma might have good boxing skills, oneday!

As a matter of fact, it does. Granted, most of the time I want to see an awesome match between two strikers (thus a boxing match is always great to watch), but I personally also want to see adaptation - an overlap/transition between the different areas of fighting. Don't tell me that a slam like Rampage's isn't awesome to see, or a flying submission hold by Genki Sudo. With MMA, more awesome stuff is possible

It's funny how all other combat sports tend to take pride in beating a boxer. They take it to the bank even when the boxer is old and WAY past his prime. I guess that just shows who they look up to

Musashi's actually a stance switcher.

@SugerRaySaunderz Which is the problem with boxing. It's not about the competition, the glory, the honor, loving the battle. It's all about "GOTTA GET DAT PAPER YO"

The commentary is hilarious and i dont know what they are saying but its great lol.

I don't think Anderson Silva keeps up with the politics of MMA the way fans of combat sports like us do. Perhaps he was a bit naive in that regard but in an interview he clearly expressed his surprise that Dana would not let the fight happen. I know that there are alot of variables to consider in Boxing and I would not expect Silva to be successful against the top contender but I wouldn't mind watching him give it a try.

he continued to box after this and pulled through decisions.....never got knocked down in the first round

Imagine what a Young Ray mercer would've done. However, a Kick boxer just won a boxing title at 140 lbs. So, today's kick boxer don't really need to kick.

See people are not getting it. It's not about the "rules", it's about being a fighter and fighting anyone who has a style different than yours.

Things slow down in the body by 46, things start to ache, recovery times are longer, weight doesnt fall off anymore, hell im 32 and my legs are gone, its like soccer players, they just cant keep the intensity at that same level, they are probably just as strong but stamina and recovery is harder, Ray can get to a level of fitness but not explosive quickness or durability, there is no doubt his chin is more of a weakened iron than in the past.

I agree Stirs.

youve got to hand it to Ray he went straight in against 2 champions Mushashi and Bonjasky, he could have fought a much lower opponent as his first match, he toughed it out but at 43 he did as well as you could expect. Makes you wonder why at 46 he is gonna fight under mma rules versus Kimbo, if it was boxing rules he would win easy.

Imagine how an elite boxer in his prime,trains for a year or two to kick and fights in kickboxing.A sweep.

Lol 4:13 Mercer takes a bad leg kick he's like fuck it and just slams the mofo to the ground hahaha. Mercer isn't using his legs at all, why fight a kickboxing match if you haven't trained your legs?

レイ・マーサーはこの後ティム・シルビアをKOしたから凄い。

I think that the kicks in the legs hurt him badly. Probably, that s the reason that he had difficulty ro move fast.

He i smore accomplishe dthan any mma guy, they are jacks of all trades and masters in none!

He didn't "just" walk away. The kick messed up his inner ear and he wasn't able to fight.

@rrtodd95 I agree with you and this is what i've been saying for years... boxing and kickboxing and mma are all different disciplines, it's pointless saying one is better than the other as each has it's own strengths under their own rules... Common sense says Mercer would destroy Musashi in Boxing, and Musashi would destroy Mercer under k1/kickboxing.

did mecer win?

The thing is though, kicks and knees are harder to see coming which means you are unprepared, and they are bare footed and bare kneed!

I doubt that Anderson Silva issued the challenge for publicity. He didn't realize that Dana would play politics and prevent the fight from happening. He has announced that he will retire early and pursue this fight with Jones. I see no reason to doubt him. As far as him competing against top Boxers conventional wisdom would suggest that he cannot but it would be interesting to see him try. That would be a true test to see if an MMA striker can develop the hands of a Boxer.

nice throw

What a victory. Beating up a wornout boxer.

And remember, it was you who first called me dumb, and sorry... I'm just returning the favor.

Is there any particular reason why Musashi would want to go the distance with Mercer ?

Ray was at least 8 years past his peak by this time, nothing for Musashi to really write home about.

If Musashi threw his legs in combinations and used side and thrust kicks to control distance like a jab....it would have been the mother of all beatdowns. Mercer just ate so many kicks if that was Serkan Yilmaz, cro cop, or vera he wouldn't have been able to walk past the second round.

@k4n31985 GSP is complete different fighter from back then. He used to fight to finish. Now he fights to not lose. If you can catch him then maybe you can get something done, but nobody has been able to since then. He's too good at using long distance strikes, he's too good at mixing up strikes with takedowns. He has perfect split second timing in that right when you commit to a strike, he's ready to pounce and put you down. He takes zero chances anymore. Just wants to get a comfortable W.

mercer in Kickboxing K-1 was a disaster ...

we are talking about accomplished in their own fields, Ray won Gold and you mentioned a silver medallist and a master. The world is bigger than a desert called abi dabi, Ray was world champion.

true that

Ray Mercer was a Boxer who just happened to Compete in 2 K-1 Kickboxing bouts--And lost both of them. Remy Bonjasky hit him with a High Kick in 22 seconds of the first round, and Mercer Quit. He just turned and walked away after One kick.

mercer's about 43 here. perhaps a more interesting match would have been sefo or hunt since they'd stand and slug it out, but this is kickboxing. musashi wisely avoids trading, and why shouldn't he. who knows what kind of freak show the kimbo match will be :)

Are you crazy?

@Elthenar I would say that Musashi pretty much destroyed Mercer. He punished him almost every round. Fair enough Mercer lasted awhile but he didn't do particularly well other than that.

@Megain5pounds It's not UFC and K1's fault that the prime boxers are too scared to step up. If Pac or Mayweather want to step up, I'm sure either league would be happy to give them a shot.

The main reason why Ray lost also was that he was not able to kick or Block (check) kicks with his Legs. So all he was doing was taking kicked to the Legs, Knees and thighs.

You did'nt get my point in the first place.I'm implying that if a washed up,slow,old Mercer can do fairly well against names in kickboxing and some in MMA.What more if an elite boxer in his prime?

Mike Tyson prime 1986-1988

@k4n31985 And he'll do it again tomorrow night. He'll probably get knocked out for it, but it'll be great to see him again.

It wasn't a high kick that initiated that throw, it was a low kick. How successful a high kick is, whether it be in a street fight or not, is dependent on the quality of the two fighters, the height of the two fighters, and many other factors. Depending on the specific circumstances, high kicks can easily be just as effective on the street as they are in a controlled envirnonment.

And I completely agree. Take a look at my other posts, I also want to see all aspects of fighting. MMA has a thrill like no other combat sport does.

I don't see how he's more accoplished, the examples I posted are the best in their field and in the weight category.

There's no problem here. This isn't a boxing match and Mercer knew that going into the fight. He knew he only had 3 rounds to finish it just like Musashi did. If this WAS a boxing match of course Mercer would win. It would be odd to think otherwise.

@SeanOMatic exact, same in mixed martial arts, manny pacquiao isn't going to outstrike the guys standind that primarly use their hands too because its just not the same kind of boxing. Sameway olympic wrestlers get throw around by guys who didn't even wrestle in highschool, or guys without a belt in jiu jitsu submit guys with third degree black belts. But in their own respects, they will almost undoubtidly dominate.

@ilovemmamuaythaibox If you add up all the boxing, kickboxing, and MMA matches that you've seen on tv, or your computer, that's not even as many as I've seen live, in person, of just one of those sports individually.

Mercer never intended to throw kicks. He is wearing his boxing shoes. Man alot of you guys are ignorant.

Oh fuck ya get this shit goinn!!!

i think the fact that he is old is perhaps the only reason why you still have guys like mayweather sayin that they could beat any MMA guy

Why is grandpa fighting a kid?Got to love boxing.

Ray is an Olympic gold medallist and World champion,not just champion of a bedwuin tent! So like i said, more accomplished in his field than the examples you posted lol. Gold beats silver!

I think Rays legs were about to go by the end, thats got to hurt, he took some pounding. He manage dto get a breather by throwing him down. They should of put him against Botha.
