I can't give Lewis flack for the Mercer fight.I think he was making a statement as co feature to Holyfield.He sat in with a fit and ready Mercer who was on a nice run,had just jabbed the heck outta Holyfield in a good display of boxing turned shoot out.Maybe not smart for Lewis but that was a turning point for me as far as respecting him.Mercer has always had a short blunt jab...irony was he fancied himself a one man wrecking crew leading up to fight with ancient Holmes as he had just battered Morrison and came back from the brink of defeat with one punch KO over Damiani.He took it all for granted.Of all things it was Mercer outjabbing Holmes at least in round 1,had Holmes on rubber legs with a jab.
