According to a report on ESPN, Ray Mercer has decided to hang up his MMA gloves for the time being and concentrate on boxing. Mercer told the Philadelphia Daily News, ""It was like I put my head in his armpit and said, Go ahead, choke me. From now on, I'm sticking to boxing. I can't get choked out in boxing." Mercer lost his second MMA fight via submission when he was choked out by underground street fighter Kimbo Slice. Mercer (34-6-1, 25Ko's) has not boxed since 2005.

That Tommy Morrison thing was TOTALL BULLSHIT! That was a boxing match in a cage with 4oz gloves against a guy who hangs drywall....... I wouldn't mind seeing a top notch boxer compete in MMA. They would just have so much work to do aside from carefully picking opponenets. Look at San Jose, Ca's Cung Le. The guy has not had a single opponent even try to take him down in 4 fights. Thats some careful cherry picken boys.
