This is what happens when a professional boxer steps into the ring with a trained mixed martial artist. By the way, Kimbo has trained MMA for only a few months too.
@@chrisprad8325 Within 3 seconds of the start, “he ties him up!” Even the announcer said so. If he wanted that standup smoke, he would have punched it out. (IE: like he did in all his street fights). He knew better against a beast boxer like Mercer.
@@Lokins Yes, Kimbo could throw hands with street fighters but NOT with a true heavy-weight pro boxer like Mercer. He knew what the outcome would be, THUS, Kimbo took him to the ground, speedy-fast!
If Kimbo had actually been scared, he would have likely avoided the fight altogether. Instead, he stayed calm and capitalized on Mercers' aragence, repeatedly took him down, and earned him some easy money.
If Mercer would have trained MMA he would have probably had two or three bodies on his resume. Merciless. The man is either a maniac or he mismanaged his fortune bad. Sad he couldn't get a boxing licence but could get an MMA one.
If Ray Mercer was more of a well-rounded fighter and was trained by a good MMA fighter { i.e. Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie} the outcome of this fight could have been different.
Ray is way past his prime here. Ray fought this like it was gonna be a boxing match. Sad to see a boxing legend subject himself to something hes not built for.
Well, even if he thought he had a chance boxing with him, why would he leave it to chance? He probably knew that Ray would arrogantly think he could win a real fight with just boxing and yet again had to eat humble pie. I mean, seriously, at least train some wrestling defense.
dude it doesnt matter, kimbo is insane..he doesnt care how many times he gets hit i seen him go down once or twice to a couple punches but all in all gaddon had to put him in a submission look at kimbo with more training he'll just be a donkey kong
Bas was saying that Kimbo is very much in control and strong when it comes to following a gameplan. He smothered Mercer and from :40 on, just owned him. Its hard to say how strong he really is since he we didnt see clean shots, but he seemed to have no problems picking Mercer up and dumping him.
@@sherlanjuandaputra1168 Dont go deleting your comment now, explain how im making excuses. The fact that kimbo beat him proves that Tim was washed up and no where near champion level when he fought mercer.
@@sherlanjuandaputra1168and ray mercer lost to him. This is MMA, grappling is part of it, if you dont like it then dont fight in MMA. No MMA fighter is going to reframe from taking you down because you have zero ground game, they're going to do the opposite.
Yeah but it’s Silva tha literal worst champion to ever do it and he was outta his prime while I like Mercer I can’t find myself ever thinkin a boxers goin to beat a mma fighter but I might just be biased
@@brianscalabrine7811 Silva sucked but still maned to be champ. Also Roy Mercer was as fucked up as he was ^^ Edit...at this point...In his prime I admit he was more impressive than silva.

@@brianscalabrine7811slyvia the worst champion ever or the most boring pick one because i dont think 2 x heavyweight champion makes you somehow the worst champion
Even if he was it would be the same outcome, all Mercer had was good hand footwork for boxing. Meanwhile Kimbo had all 3 aspects of mma, he wasn’t good at them but he was better than mercer that’s for sure lol
@@sherlanjuandaputra1168 not really his bout was supposed to be a boxing bout but it got switched to mma so him and mercer agreed to no kicking or takedowns and hence he lost you can also see him being angry when Tim kicked him
All the waiting for that crap. Two big fights with two disappointing finishes last nite. I vowed never to pay for a fight after the Tyson V Holyfield fiasco, which sky cleaned up on, and I dont think either of these fights would encourage me to avail of PPV in the future
I think Mercer would knock Kimbo the fuck out in a rematch. Ray is actually training seriously in MMA and still has legit one punch KO power (Tim Sylvia). He didn't know what the fuck he was doing here and prob thought Kimbo was gonna stand with him. I would love to see a rematch now that Kimbo is out of the UFC.
then you are not a real fan, etc. the thrill comes from watching it live. no need to comment as i won't read it anyway. you need to live a little. peace.
No, I'm not a Kimbo hater. I just don't think he's fought any decent MMA fighters yet. If you look at the situation honestly, you'll come to the same conclusion. If he moved up to the UFC, he would get beat right away. But, at least Kimbo is humble and admits himself that there's still a lot for him to learn.
I'm not a big fan of kimbo, but I do think he has talent. he has abit too much selfasteem but guys... he's a nooby right now. give him some time to fight those higher fighters. I bet they had their time themselfs... ? :P
The man has a thick skull and needed money. He couldn't box and fighting is all he knows. He got paid. It's sad actually. Same with James Toney but Toney doesn't have Mercers chin. Even if Toneys speech improved, it doesn't change the fact that he's brain damaged and broke.
The Master Attorney 007 not to mention he knocked Tim Silvia. Shannon Briggs knocked out that kick boxing legend. Your using Mercer as an example but he was years out of his prime should’ve have been in any ring. I’m sure ur one of those mma fam Boys who would say look riddick bowe lost to a Muay Thai champion that proves boxers “against martial arts is ineffective” yet u don’t take into fact That riddick bowe is old af and can’t even lift his leg. Ur using old washed up fighters as an example. But at the end of the day boxer wins in the ring and mma wins in the octagon. Boxer has a better chance in the octagon then mma Fighter does in the ring tho
@@jamesdean669 and the facts speak for itself no big boxer has ever went in to another combat sport and dominated were as we’ve seen top grapplers go into MMA and win gold and kickboxers transition into boxing and becoming world champions

He stood up with him wym

@@chrisprad8325 so what he still whooped his ass lol
He didn’t stand up, he threw a shot to close the distance and wanted him on the ground. No way limbo was going to box Mercer. wym?
@@Lokins Yes, Kimbo could throw hands with street fighters but NOT with a true heavy-weight pro boxer like Mercer. He knew what the outcome would be, THUS, Kimbo took him to the ground, speedy-fast!
Ray was beyond his prime.
and fighting in the wrong sport
Kimbo was scared to stand up with Mercer. lol
Wouldn't you be?
And ray got yoked out so I say it’s a win win
he won though
HE GOT BEAT UP ON THE FEET FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. HE WAS LITERALLY BALLED UP AGAINST THE CAGE WHILE KIMBO WAS PUNCHING.
If Kimbo had actually been scared, he would have likely avoided the fight altogether. Instead, he stayed calm and capitalized on Mercers' aragence, repeatedly took him down, and earned him some easy money.
1:21 lol Mercer was about to punch Kimbo.
Mercer obliterated Tommy morrison, took lennox Lewis to a razor thin win. The man was as tough as they come.
If Mercer would have trained MMA he would have probably had two or three bodies on his resume. Merciless. The man is either a maniac or he mismanaged his fortune bad. Sad he couldn't get a boxing licence but could get an MMA one.

If Kimbo started training professionally as a child like Mercer did, then he'd have been a heavy weight champ at some point.
@@bradnone6187 hahah no he fuckin wouldnt, hes shit

Yeah, but they were old, and it was an MMA fight, so the advantage goes to the fighter that properly prepared for the event.

You can say that to about just every fighter

Mercer was like 48 or 49 here
@@e3junixr344 actually he was 45 about to be 46.
My man... In his next MMA fight, Mercer knocked out Tim Sylvia.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kimbo resorting to wrestling. That's called respecting a world-class boxing champion. he knows he had no chance.

Who was officiating? That dude knew how to control things.
Big Dan, one of the best MMA refs
Dan mirgliotta
Lol, at 0:14 the ref rips Mercer's hand off the cage and looks like he wants to get a few shots in on Mercer after.

Ummm because this is his MMA debut? Why do you want to feed him to the sharks so soon, he's only been training MMA for such a short period of time.
Maybe when he's ready with 3-4 years of MMA training, why are you in such a rush to see him lose? Are you just a hater?
How are you doing ? This comment is very old
