Ray Mercer vs. Larry Holmes

Ray Mercer vs. Larry Holmes, billed as "The Last Stand", was a professional boxing match contested on February 7, 1992.
==Background==
The previous year was a good one for the undefeated Olympic Gold Medalist Ray Mercer. He started the year off by defeating the previously undefeated Francesco Damiani to capture the WBO Heavyweight title. Following that victory, Mercer was matched up against another undefeated fighter in Tommy Morrison for what would be the first and only defense of his WBO title. Morrison outboxed Mercer for the first three rounds, but Mercer came back strong in the fourth round and proceeded to knock out Morrison in brutal fashion 28 seconds into the fifth. The victory made Mercer one of the top contenders in the heavyweight division and he quickly vacated the less-regarded WBO title in order to face 42-year-old ex-heavyweight champion Larry Holmes in a match to determine who would next meet Evander Holyfield for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Holmes had twice retired, first after failing to recapture his IBF title in a 1986 rematch with Michael Spinks, and then again after being dominated for four rounds in a 1988 fight with Mike Tyson for Tyson's undisputed title. In April 1991, Holmes launched a comeback〔(Larry Holmes Starts Comeback On Sunday ), Morning Call article, 1991-04-05, Retrieved on 2013-08-05〕 and he proceeded to defeat five unknowns through the course of the year before agreeing to face Mercer in February 1992. Holmes was given little chance to defeat Mercer and came into the fight as a 4–1 underdog. Mercer and his team looked at the fight as a "springboard" to gain Mercer more marketability. Holmes, however, remained confident that he could defeat Mercer and vowed that he would retire for the final time should he lose.〔(Seeking Marquee Status, Mercer Set To Fight Holmes ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'' article, 1992-02-07, Retrieved on 2013-08-05〕
