Tim Sylvia Moves Up And Spreads Out

It was supposed to be two ex-heavyweight champs representing their respective sports at Adrenaline III in MMA competition.

48 year old Ray Murcer was a boxing heavyweight champ and Tim Sylvia was an MMA heavyweight champ in the UFC.

Sylvia had the heavyweight part covered coming in swelled at a nice 310 pounds.  Problem was he did not bring the champ portion with him into the ring or obviously his pre fight preparation, resulting in getting knocked out by Murcer in 9 seconds.

You know the beef: Who would win in a head to head matchup, mmaer or boxer?  The boxing side of this match may feel somewhat vindicated, but mma fans know better.
