And come on, underground cockfights and dogfights at least have some semblence of an actual ring.

Good for Kimbo that he is stepping up to organized fighting. I wish him well, but he better have a lot better stamina than he displayed in the videos I saw.

As for the fight with Mercer, even though Mercer is getting on in years as a boxer (and he looked pretty shot last time I saw him fight), if it came down to boxing, I'm pretty sure that Kimbo would get schooled.

Mercer appears to just be doing this for a payday, as he did in the K-1 matches which he lost. I saw he was supposed to box with Hasim Rahman on June 14th, so that suggests that perhaps his boxing match fell through, and this is just an exhibition which he may not be taking seriously, in which case this may just a set-up to make Kimbo look good in his debut.

BTW, did anyone notice that Tommy Morrison is back in boxing? (Mercer earned his Heavyweight title defeating Morrison - Morrison retired years ago after supposedly testing positive for HIV).
