Rahman Decides: February 22 vs. Ray Mercer!

According to ESPN.com's Dan Rafael, former world heavyweight champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman has decided to take the February 22 bout against former WBO champ "Merciless" Ray Mercer at the Mountaineer Race Track in Huntington, WVA. This bout will be televised on the Versus Network.

Rahman and his promoter, Bob Arum, had been mulling over an offer from a German promoter to face Luan Krasniqi in Germany in March. But Arum told Rafael the trip to Germany could happen later in the spring if Rahman beats Mercer.

This is a good fight......If it had happened nearly TEN years ago perhaps...;-(

Good grief...Mercer has got to be damn near pushing 50. Yes, a bit hard to believe (boy...Really hard to believe, and I'm starting to feel a bit old myself...) but it has to be true. The guy is definetly over 45, I'll guarantee that much.
