    IMO kimbo needs to learn from this fight and start a serious conditioning routine.. he was completely out in that last round. If the fight wouldn't have been stopped the end could have been different. thompson looked furious when the ref stopped the fight.

    Yes. Rogers is almost as raw as Kimbo inside the cage. No doubt, Shaw is gearing up to match Kimbo and Rogers in the cage somewhere in the near future.

    He couldnt even drop Thompson whos been dropped by everyone. Id love if he faced Fedor or Couture who would both laugh in his face after his best punch then take him down **** him.

    I dont agree with some of the things here. First of all, just because you're built does not mean you have a huge punch. There are lots of small guys with a talent and lots of big guys with no pop. I'm sure he has heavy hands for a regular person, but in terms of being a world class MMA athlete i am starting to doubt it. Alexander Emelianenko is by no means a one hit wonder, and he had Thompson out with one sloppy cross. Kimbo landed tons of shots on Thompson even in the first round, and he couldn't knock him out.

    But thats just the point. Kimbo is NOT world class and will more than likely never be anything close to a world class athlete. His 33 or so and time is not on his side. I doubt that even interests him as his only in this to get paid and has said so clearly. He doesnt call out names he just comes to fight and pick up his cheque. If Shaw is able to promote the ass out of him so that most of the fans actually think Kimbo will be something then they`ve been duped.

    Aleksander is a VERY good striker.

    I want to see Kimbo versus Butterbean.

    Neil Grove was 2-0 when he put JT to sleep in 10 seconds.

    Anytime Megapunk is still upright after the 1st round it's a big step up for him.

    Yeah, he could barely get up after that barrage of elbows. Kimbo was pretty much out at that point. The bell saved him no doubt.
