Looked to me like most of them were grazing blows at best, if they even connected. But eh, what do I know? :)


probably a big fix

Im confused. I thought Kimbo was fighting Shamrock tonight?

read the thread

Ahhh, I see. He backed out.

Wow, a last minute no-name replacement beat Kimbo!

shamrock did not back out. the doctors would not let him compete.

lol @ the people saying he took a dive or it was fixed. you don't have to wind up and throw a haymaker to knock someone down. kimbo was already falling forward and got caught with a jab square to the eye. it may not have looked like a huge punched, but straight jab + very short distance + your opponent coming forward = easy to stun them into falling to the mat. it's not as if kimbo was out right there. he just got stunned. the punches while he was on the ground were what ended it.

Da heck were those gay ass looking punches about? Who the hell punches like that? It looked like he was smacking Kimbo with a wet noodle. Learn to throw a punch.

yeah he faced a real fighter and got his ass kicked
You mean to imply crack heads, fat kids with their weaves in their eyes, David Blain aren't real fighters? ;) Not many people eager to take it to the ground when you fight in the parking lot either.

I haven't bought anything Nike in a long time, and if they are endorsing thugs like Slice, I won't be in the future either.

Alright, when you can kick the shit out of a man that size in 14 seconds, get back to us.

I've never paid much attention to the XC before, was that hammer fist to the back of the head legal there?

probably not but you dont get DQ'd for a single illegal strike. you get warned, and then you get points taken. but then again this is eliteJokeC

Watch some pridefc events and the video in my sig, knees to the head and leg stomps are perfectly legal.

The thing that I like about it is that Kimbo got K.O.'ed by a friggin no-name, Light Heavyweight with a jab. Yeah, Kimbo was coming forward, but there was nothing on that punch. It was like the front kick, just trying to keep him at distance.

I'm confused here, I'm not saying Kimbo is an A level fighter, I won't even say he's B level, but for how long he's been training MMA he's damn good. He got caught last night, no excuses. But the punch had to be much more powerful than it looked. When he fought Thompson he took some vicious shots from JT without falling. Say what you want about JT, but he is known for having heavy hands. If Kimbo fought Petruzelli 9 more times, I dunno he might even loose all 9 of them. But I don't think any of the 9 would end like this did. It was a fluke punch, if Kimbo had a glass jaw JT would have put him out. It was a weird fight that's all I can say...
