Video: Promo for Sylvia-Mercer Boxing Match
Remember that proposed boxing match between Tim Sylvia and 48 year old Ray Mercer that had to be moved to Alabama because even New Jersey wouldn’t sanction it? Well here’s the promo for that gem and get ready, because it will blow. you. away. One can’t even help but feel the hurt as Sylvia pounds the focus mitts and Mercer works the heavy bag like it owes him money. I almost forgot, the event is also being dubbed “Bragging Rights In Birmingham” you know, because Tim Sylvia would really be able to strut his stuff if he’s able to put away Mercer, who hasn’t been a relevant athlete since the Clinton administration. And did I mention that the bout will be taking place inside a cage? Because it is, in case you were wondering. You stay classy, Monte Cox.

Sylvia is what? 33? He should be arrested for beating on an old man like Mercer.
I don’t know what sylvia has to gain but it should be fun to watch i guess,maybe,probally not.
Silvia has some money to gain… and not even that much probably.
WHAT A JOKE………………
Nice. I’m glad I read the write up first, it just made it that much funnier. What a joke, how could Tim sink so low. He should have just sucked it up and re-negotiated his contract.
If it’s sylvia vs. Mercer why did they just show a hunch of slow motion clips of, when molassas covered sloths attack training equipment.
Hold on Tim Sylvia is fighting former Heavyweight boxing champion Ray Mercer under Queensbury rules in a cage? He has nothing to gain so I can only assume hes getting well paid for this freakshow. What next a fight with Kimbo Slice on the wing of a flying plane? Or maybe his next move is to fight Butterbean at Welterweight under water? Im going to watch this ‘fight’ but I wont be surprised if it makes my eyes bleed
is this fo real?
Regrettably, yes.
I hope Mercer wins. Then we can stop seeing Tim the Big Ass in public
sylvia should just go do pro wrestling or something like who even cares about him anymore snoooore.
great article by the way eric i nearly choked laughing the focus mitts and heavy bag comments were awesome, espeascially after you watch that stupid video.
lol, respect he deserves?
exactly wat i was thinkin
You know what i’m gonna go out on a limb and say this is gonna be an epic battle.One of the greatest heavyweight bouts of all time.And then sylvia is gonna forget he’s boxing and knock mercer out with a head kick and lose by disqualification.Thats my prediction.
I think I’d rather see Sylvia/Arlovski. Andre’s boxing is at another level than Tim’s.
If you want to see Arlovski VS Sylvia in a boxing match go watch UFC 59 and there ya go.
If Sylvia looses to an old over the hill Ray Mercer it will look EXTREMELY bad on his part. This would be a HUGE blow to his carreer. Now don’t think for a minute that Mercer can beat him, because Ray has some serious power in both hands. Any fighter will tell you that the last thing to go on a fighter is his power. Couple that will Mercer’s superior boxing experience and overall skill, an eventhough he’s an old man now, he could very well put Sylvia to sleep.
