A very young Vlad Klitschko is taking on an over the hill Ray Mercer in a pretty common narrative in this sport; a new young gun fighter who's being tabbed as likely to be one of the "next big things" in the sport is gonna take on a guy who was once upon a time one of his era's new young gun fighter tabbed as likely one day being a force in his division. Mercer had a lot of talent. especially for one who didn't get into the sport into his twenties i believe. anyway, I am outta time with this one. Enjoy if you should choose to do so!
