Can anyone find a list of who he fought at the 1988 Olympic Games?

I'm pretty sure he also lost a K-1 match to Remy Bonjasky. Can someone get the year of that?

Nothing against Ray. I was a big fan ever since I saw him fight in the Olympic Trials. However, Wikipedia has him listed in a compilation of famous former Marines. I believe Ray Mercer was a Sergeant in the U.S. Army, not the Marine Corps.

1988 Olympic Games - Mercer fought Rudolf Gavenciak(CZE), Luigi Gaudiano(ITA) in the quarterfinals, Arnold Vanderlyde(HOL) in the semifinals, and Baik Hyun-Man(KOR) in the finals to win the gold medal.

[edit] Military service?

Does anyone have a reliable reference for Mercer's military service. I've found conflicting references that say he served in the Marines and in the Army. — ERcheck (talk) 00:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
