Heavyweight Heat this Friday!
Likely no tomorrow for loser of Briggs-Mercer
A lot is at stake when heavyweights Shannon Briggs (42-4-1, 36 KOs) and "Merciless" Ray Mercer (34-5-1, 25 KOs) collide on Friday live on pay per view from the brand new Hard Rock Live arena at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. It's a true crossroads fight where a loss would be devastating for either combatant. After dabbling in acting and mixed-martial arts, longtime heavyweight contender Briggs says he is again focused on the heavyweight crown. He has reeled off six straight victories and has captured 10 of his last 11 fights. Former WBO champ Mercer, meanwhile, has won 11 of his last 12, the only loss to the highly-regarded Wladimir Klitschko. Both fighters are eyeing this fight as a springboard back into the heavyweight title mix.

The Showtime Pay-Per-View telecast also features the first world title defense for IBF cruiserweight champion O'Neil Bell (24-1-1, 22 KO's). He shouldn't have it easy against South African contender Sebastiaan Rothmann (18-3-2, 12 KOs), who has won two minor world belts (WBU, IBO), plus handily defeated Argentine ring legend Jorge Castro. Also, heavyweight contender Jameel McCline (31-5-3, 19 KOs) returns versus Steve Pannell (34-8, 28 KOs), and undefeated junior welterweight KO artist Juan "Iron Twins" Urango (15-0-1, 12 KO's) faces Andre Eason (15-3-0, 6 KOs) in a WBC Latin American title bout scheduled for 12 rounds.
