It will put Szpilkas name out there, that's for sure... Not a bad fight to take. Slice is a bum with a massive following, so pretty much the first man to starch him will get a lot of attention. Wonder why Kimbo is cashing out against Szpilka? You would think he'd continue fighting bums in hopes of getting ranked by the ABC's and getting a gift title shot, and then cashing the lottery in?
Artur Szpilka was down twice against David Saulsberry, someone who is much, much worse than Kimbo. 3:59 minute. 4:56 the second time! [yt]-jNfOAD4HTk[/yt]
I don't think you realize how bad Kimbo is, Saulsberry would probably spark Kimbo. Those look more like slips than knockdowns though. Even though 1 was counted as such. Szpilka has **** defense as well as a **** chin, but he's not losing to Kimbo, no way.
First KD was actually a spinning forearm, therefore illegal and not counted as a knockdown. The ref warned Saulsberry as a result.
You're probably right, but you would think he'd at least try that route instead of stepping in with Szpilka in HIGH RISK, low reward type of fight.
