He got KOed stiff from a jab on a guy moving backwards who happened to be a Light Heavyweight. China if I ever seen one.
The punch did not land on his chin though, it landed on his left eye socket. Maybe he just cant take a real MMA punch....which is not at all surprising. Though i thought he would last at least 15 seconds atsch
Well , if we go back to the "original" video that made him popular... I'd say he's got one hell of a chin [yt]YU-zdEFXft8[/yt] Maybe it was just the effect of surprise ? (punches which you don't see coming can have a huge effect...For instance just watch muhammad Ali vs Henry Cooper.. Cooper managed to floor him and we all know ali was reputated to have a solid chin. Foreman couldn't get the job done , but Henry Cooper could ? The only exception to that rule is probably Hunt.
That's exactly it, he timed him perfectly and that can knock anybody out because your not prepared for it. Just imagine Bruce Lee catching Kimbo coming in with one of his blazing fast counters, nobody would see the punch, not even Kimbo, only thing he would see is a blur and the lights going out.
You have to ask this? Other than Amir Khan I have not seen a fighter with a Glass Jaw as bad as Kimbo in years! Kimbo's Chin is 100% Grade A China.
Seen it coming or not that was barely a punch....I watched the clip over and over and still am amazed....that is one of the weakest punches ever to get a KO in MMA history.
Kimbo took a dive you lot best believe that. The dude is trying to get paid and nothing else. The "fans" fell for it. Kimbo was on a winner.
yes, embarassing yourself from a phantom punch and getting ktfo is alot better then trying to win the fight and go on and make even more money being a fraud. Why would he dive? With another win he could take this charade even further.
Such morality! Give me a ****ing break. Kimbo is there to get PAID. And nothing else. If fans want to now make noise with "i told you so" about a guy who made his CAREER beating up cans on Youtube then more fool them. Who knows what was riding on his head. His made his dough his cashed his chips.
The way his legs and arms stiffened as he was getting smashed and the glazed over look in his eyes when it was over leads me to believe he genuiney was ****ed.
nutnutnutnut:nut That makes no sense, he's just destroyed his marketability and potentially even greater pay in the future. Took a dive my ass. Kimbo's a ****ing glass jawed unskilled joke. Good riddance.
