Knock out? I don't wanna holler fixed, but something didn't look right about that "KO"

*shouldnt be a legal Knock Out*

So Mercer, who had legendary durability, gets knocked out by a few tabs to the back of his head. Total BS.

What a fight!

That knockout did look a little suspicious. But that being said, people said the same thing after Foreman flattened Moorer, after Barrett knocked Tua on his ass, and other fights. Sometimes a guy just gets hit with the right punch. It did look like he maybe could've gotten up but chose not to. But, Briggs had some mad power and Mercer was just eating it all night. Maybe he just said f it at that point. And hell, Mercer was in his mid-40s here. Dude should've stopped fighting way before this.

Heavyweights like Briggs hit hard, if you get hit with multiple free shots like that it's not surprising that Mercer was knocked out.

this fight looks fixed. A prime Mercer would destroy a prime Briggs.

What the fuck was that?

wow, talk about Phantom Punch

Seems an odd knockout but maybe Mercer's time had come.

WoW..

Fix!!!

Bizarre KO & stoppage. Although imo, Mercer was already past his prime since after the late '90s. Some of his best fights were in the late 80s to '90s.

What a jab on Mercer.Just like Holmes,s

Ray Quit or the Fix was In !!!!!

Is true? Is it regoular?

he lost it while kinda caught up in the ropes... weird loss... maybe not against the rules, but i feel when Mercer went to the ropes, the judge should have separated both fighters, then reinitiated the fight... still weird anyhow...

It's not legal to hold someone with one arm and hit him with the other.....This is not MMA. The whole thing is Bull......

Probably got tired and decided to give up

He took a dive. In between rounds he instructed his corner to get the shower running and have his check ready.

Эх люблю я наших коментаторов

The fix is in

Wow totally looks like he took a dive...

Was that the ref that you can hear at the 3:50 mark say: “I’m gonna DQ him for knocking him out after the bell... huh?... yeah, I called the knockdown. I called the knockdown.” I have seen Mercer take much harder punches than that, and be unfazed. Something was going on with this fight. Something just wasn’t right.

I don't see what it was that took down Mercer. He's always been able to take a hard punch, then suddenly two love taps & he folds? Must have been some big $ on the line with the Mob along with instructions for Mercer.

Yeah, Im gonna say somethin was up with this......granted Briggs did hit him with unprotected shots while on the ropes, but none of them looked like bombs...maybe Mercer was just tired out? Or there was something fishy.

After what he did to Tommy Morrison Iam happy he got outclassed and knocked out, he was a brute the should have his boxing license revoked after that fight

Both Gladiators and Ray mercer was a Beast when he was 100% same as shannon. 🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️🙏🙏🥊🥊

What?? That punch looked so weak. Mercer took harder shots from Bert Cooper and Tommy Morrison

So proud Briggs knock out mercer

Dude looks old, seems more like exhaustion than damage

Farhhh briggs was actually good 😆 we judge him for how he acts haha

Ray was Hit Pretty Solidly About 3-4 Seconds Prior to Going to The Ropes. Getting Punched has Weird Delayed Effects Sometimes and this Might Have Been One of Them. No Real Reason to Fix this Bout but I Wasn’t Following HWTS then Like I Do Now.

🤣🤣🤣 NICE DIVE !!

ese mercer solo supo recibir como un pushing bag

OOF..

Ray thought would be dq so milked it

Shanon Briggs caught Mercer at old age.Had mercer been younger.he would have got knocked in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Hate to see guys come in so out of shape it’s disgrace to the sport

This ending was BULLSHIT.

Briggs is a joke. Mercer is 150 years old in this fight

Weak Sauce ! Lennox beat them both. The way Mercer beat Tommy Morrison - my money would have been on Mercer. Even Mercer gave Lennox a better fight than Briggs. Maybe it is as they say. Styles make fights.

I came to see the only KO loss on Mercer's record and it was fake.
