It was such a shame his knee went. He's a smart guy and must've been aware that he didn't have a punchers chance after that so it makes it all the more impressive he tried to continue.



What was everyone's take on Mercante? I understand where he was coming from but he was pissing me off with the whole 'suck it up kid' pep talk. Foreman had enough to deal with without him in his ear, apparently Foreman's wife was mega pissed at Mercante for not stopping the fight...

Wasn't so much a suck it up kid and stop your whining type thing Mercante did....Foreman did not want to stop the fight....He was in no real danger as far as being pummled to the head where it would cost lasting effects.....Mercante let it go to the decision of Foreman...I know at times a fighter needs to be protected from himself but Foreman did not want to go out like that and Mercante gave him the opp to choose his own path....

I do disagree with the fact he let it go on after the corner threw it in but again it is not like Foreman was being beaten from p[illar to post
