Mercer lost 2 points even before he got into the ring... all Lennox had to do was flick the jab fort he first 2-3 rounds and it was pretty much game, set and match.

The reason Mercer lost and had to knock Lewis down, at least, was because he was a spotty fighter and you couldn't predict his winability (new word) moving forward. You could have done a better job with predicting Lewis's winability and with that- why rob someone with real ethic, real potential (not that Mercer didn't have potential, at least) and a will to want to be the best for someone who was half hearted with all of what he was gifted with?

And even THAT Mercer still put on a good showing- as good as it was and won technically and on standard points. But he was already 2 points down even before the fight started- and probably a little tainted in the eyes of the judges because of his lack luster history.

As said, small robbery... I won't fuss about it. Worst have happened!
