Forgive me if this has already been posted but I found this at another site I frequent: M: Even though you only had an hour to get ready for this fight against kimbo, what was your strategy fighting against Kimbo, uh, err, uh, were you tryin to uh, submission him out? SP: My original plan was to throw a lot of push kicks, called teeps, and try to rush in more, and then shoot in on him, obviously. M: So you wanted to get him on the ground? Theres no way you wanted to box him standing up? SP: Not really, but I train with lots of undefeated pro boxers, a couple guys have a belt, and my style kinda throws them off a bit, I have kind of an awkward style. So, I knew I would do alright standing up with him. THE PROMOTERS KINDA HINTED TO ME, AND THEY GAVE ME THE MONEY TO STAND AND TRADE WITH HIM. THEY DIDNT WANT ME TO TAKE HIM DOWN. LETS JUST PUT IT THAT WAY. M: Ahhh.. ok. SP: It was worth my while to try and stand up and punch with him. Talk about exposing corruption, wouldent be surprised if this guy never got to fight for EliteXC again.
Ok I found discussion of this in an already created thread here: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94451
