The match takes place this Saturday in Atlantic City and uses full MMA rules. Bodog currently has the odds at:

Mercer +165

Slice -205


Mercer is a former Army Seargeant and granite-chinned boxer who went the distance with men like Holyfield, Holmes, and Lennox Lewis. He also beat the stuffing out of a young Tommy Morrison. Of course, he's also 46 years old.

Slice is a former football player and street brawler who got popular through clips of his brawls on the Internet.

Prediction: While Slice is only 31 years old, surely decades of fighting the best boxers in the world has to count for something for Mercer. As long as Mercer can keep from begin taken down, he's got a chance to use his superior fighting skills to knock out his opponent.
Maybe I'm betting with my heart on this one, but I like Mercer by KO in the first round.
