What a joke. That ref was standing it up all the time to give him a shot and wave the fight off when it shouldn't have. Gary Shaw pay him much? The EliteXC poster boy is what he is...a disgrace to real MMA athletes.
He fought a guy with no chin, and not known as a ground fighter. Kimbo is in big truble if they EVER put him in with a better fighter.
it was a bull**** stoppage but the ref wasn't "standing up the fight all the time", he only did it once. And I agree with another poster that Lesnar would murder him on the ground
Thomson should have constant gone for the takedown. He NEVER should have tried to stand and trade because that's really the only thing Slice can do. If Thompson had foregone the macho punching BS and shot in on Kimbo in the 3rd round, it would have been a decision or stoppage for the brit. Kimbo wont last much longer once he moves up to fight real fighters. No way in hell.
Kimbo even clipped Glass Jaw and didn't put him away. His power is overrated, too. Wow. Go back to Florida, Kimbo. Let the real athletes have their time on network TV. Fedor. Barnett. Sylvia. Arvloski. Nog.
Exactly. Shaw did himself no favors with actual MMA fans or actual MMA athletes tonight. Sadly, Kimbo will be EliteXC heavyweight champ soon, which will be a joke. Dana White has to be laughing his ass off right now.
Dont blame Kimbo. The guys just trying to get paid. Blame Gary Shaw and EliteXC. If they want to get behind and promote the ass out of a internet phenom thats "THEIR" fault NOT Kimbo`s. As iv said time and time again the guys no diffrent to Tank except his resume is extremely weak and his been spoon fed a few bums and old men. He is what he is which is nothing.
i am impressed at the rate that he is learning i will give him that. he has something resembling a takedown defense. and a semi ok guard. which IS better than alot of people wit his extremely limited MMA experience can say. so thats good.
I agree, the guy is just riding the gravy train that has been put in front of him. Gary Shaw is trying to use him to bring Elite xc lglory but it looks like it won't happen. Kimbo never claimed to be a world killer he is just cashing in.
