Ray Mercer vs Tim Sylvia Fight Reasult

Cut down by an overhand right from 1988 Olympic boxing gold medalist Ray Mercer, the former UFC heavyweight champion fell to his back in slow motion and ate two brutal right hands on the ground as a stunned sparse crowd looked on in amazement. The blows brought an end to the Adrenaline MMA 3 “Bragging Rights” main event in just nine seconds at the BJCC Arena.



“Wow,” Mercer said. “I didn’t get a chance to warm up.”



Beaten by a man who lost an exhibition bout to Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson two years ago, Sylvia (24-6) entered the match at 311 pounds. He landed a leg kick out of the gate, which only seemed to spur Mercer. The 33-year-old Miletich Fighting Systems product has lost three fights in a row, and his days as an elite heavyweight appear numbered at best, over at worst. It took him several moments to rise to his feet, still groggy from the punishment he absorbed.



His bout with Mercer (1-0), originally booked as a six-round boxing match, was changed to an MMA-rules fight earlier in the week.



“Everything was against me,” said Mercer, who called out Eric “Butterbean” Esch after the emotional victory. “I whooped that ass.”



The co-main event saw Jeremy Horn use a methodical and precise attack, as he slowly exposed weak spots in the armor of the talented but inexperienced Chris Davis.



Horn (81-19-5) pushed into the clinch, secured a double-leg takedown and went to work on the mat. The one-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger mounted Davis, secured back control and opened a cut with an elbow from the top as his opponent struggled to recapture half guard. More strikes from Horn forced Davis to yield his back again. Horn sank the rear-naked choke for the finish, as Davis tasted defeat for the first time as a professional.

    Sylvia never impressed me at all. I knew his size would only go so far.
    Big Up's to Ray Mercer, He'll carve a giant well into his 60's. Match him up with tim Sylvia in a boxing match as many times as you wish, Mercer wins hands down. How many other world class boxers have defeated world class MMA fighters?

    Wow
    I feel badly for Tim, but thats what happens when you don't train for a fight. I think its time for him to retire, he not that man he use to be when he fought Rico Rodriguez.
