    The Funny Thing Is Kimbo Is A 10-28 Favorite And Tank Is At 26-10 (betting Odds)

    I'd pick Kimbo, Tank just doesn't really care anymore, and Kimbo seems to be taking his new career seriously, and has the right people around him.

    Tank could have been a serious enough force if he had a serious drive as he seemed to be around 95-96 when he looked his best, and put himself in the right training with the right people. If Tank had hooked up with Team RAW, he could have been a champ for sure.

    I favor tank. I don't think Kimbo will be able to push him around. Both guys will come at one another.. Tank having far more experience, though old still holds water in my mind.

    tank throws a barrage of very powerful punches. Kimbo actually has movement. It's a tough call.

    I think in those particular cages I last saw Kimbo in, movement doesn't mean much.

    i think kimbo,is in better shape,and if he stays with bas rutten,IMO he will take out tank abbot very easy.
    When kimbo trains a lot more mma,elbows,knees and submission,i would put my money on him....if i had some....:| :|

    I'll watch this fight. It will remind me of the good old days of Pride. Nothing beats a freak show match every now and then!

    I think Kimbo will be improved even more if he's still training seriously which I'm sure he is and Tank will be training in a bar. hopefully it will be a fight rather than Tank gassing out.I think Kimbo takes it.
