The advantage is there for the Mixed Martial artist ,it has to do with the rules or lack there of.. Boxing has rules. Those rules become a part of the boxers psyche , when a boxer goes into a MMA event , there are some hesitations on what is allowed and not allowed.. Hesitation is a killer in any form of combat fighting, often the result is a bad for the boxer .
I can't believe Mercer is "old" now, apparently he wasnt old enough for you not to pick against him right ??? Regardless a majority of people were picking him to beat Kimbo. He gets propsQuote:

Kimbo is just really a normal fighter but MMA is superiour to boxing in the terms of fighting styles....Ray had nothing to defend against when he was on the ground, atleast learn how to defend against a grappler if you're going into the ring with one because using fists isn't enough.
all i got to say is bring on tyson!
Mercer was an embarrassment . That fat white cop stopped Kimbo but Mercer could barely last a minute before quitting. Lets see Kimbo fight a guy who isnt ancient instead
Yes because that would give you the washed up boxer trifecta: A guy with aids, an old guy thats atleast 10 years removed from his prime and a guy who hasn't been on top of his game since reagen was in office.  ::**Quote:

A 46 year old mercer is no different from the rest of the jobber boxers dana white and others have used as fodder to build up their product.
one thing that must be noted, the last two days the crowds have been amazing
the corwd gave an amazing response to kimbo, and last night the crowd was great for the dtrikeforce card
im gonna pass out now, yo, best part of kimbo fight = bob sherodan ;)
Ray Mercer has know suffered 3 defeats in MMA in a row. I think he's just using it to top up his pension fund. Sadly some people will foolishly think that Kimbo has beaten a legitimate opponent, when that is so clearly not the case.
