    Boxrec usually jump the gun but suppose they were right this time then

    I dont think it will be a bad fight cuz neither guy is known for running or defensive skills and both have slowed reflexes so are likely to take a few . Mercer was bad enough to get knocked out by an old lazy version of Shannon Briggs so Rahman will probably do a similar job on him . Hasim showed decent pateince in his last fight. Working behind a stiff jab with his hands high coming forward and looking to unleash his cross . He mixed in body shots too and I dont think an old Mercer will be able to hang with that at this age .

    The best he can hope to do is mess Rahman around and look to get lucky . He wont beable to set a pace Rahman is uncomfortable at , neither can he keep him on the end of his left hand so Mercer has to get close , maul Rahman like Ruiz did and drag him down to make it a scrappy fight . Rahman has to keep it long early on , not accept clinches , mixing his shots up and down keeping Ray on the end of his punches . If he does that the old man cant win .

    I think Rahman blasts Ray out the ring in 5 rounds unless he does something stupid .

    Boxrec is now listing Rahman to fight Sherman Williams. Same day, same place.

    Appreciate the strategy breakdown Game.But Imo this fight should NOT HAPPEN.Rays lasting resourse is his ability to absorb big time punishment and go on someones resume as a "name".
    I say this as a long time Mercer Fan Back to the "Triple threats " debut.
    Rahman is turning into a joke and calculated risk avoider Tip toeing his way back into contention instead of demanding top fights and kicking in the door.I guess Lenzie Morgan is busy!
