    Rogers would KO Kimbo.........................

    Kimbo did appear to tap out just before the end of the second round. Watch the tape. :deal

    Rogers can beat Kimbo, he may just do it if they want, but EliteXC isn't about to risk anything, after the Thompson fight, EliteXC might even lower the opposition Kimbo faces, because it's a business, and EliteXC wants all they can get from Kimbo, and who can blame them, maybe we'll see Lesnar and Butterbean fight Kimbo sometime.

    They better keep Kimbo away from both Lesnar and Butterbean.
    Brock has tremendous amateur wrestling credentials and freakish
    strength. He's a true athlete who is working to be a more all-round
    mma fighter and is much younger and a better athlete than Kimbo.
    Butterbean is a decent journeyman boxer, who would K.O. Sean
    Gannon easily, the same fat policeman that K.O'ed Kimbo back in
    his streetfighting days. Butterbean also has an iron chin and is
    just one tough dude. I say Butterbean just knocks Kimbo on his
    ass. Slice hasn't much of a future as a mma prizefighter but I
    was impressed with his classy behavior at the post-fight presser.
    I hope he is saving and investing his money wisely or we'll see
    him back on the mean streets in a few years beating up hobos
    and crack addicts for chump change.

    If it were not for the stupid hype I would like Kimbo. He seems like a pretty honest and respectful guy. Even in his street fights he was not disparaging to his opponents and he has made no bold claims about being a great MMA fighter.

    I don't think what Rogers said and did was called for, but I am so sick of the Kimbo hype that I still hope Rogers knocks him out. Hearing people say that Kimbo would be a live underdog in a boxing match with Haye etc.:patsch :roll:

    Does anyone have a link to the Rogers/Thompson fight? I just don't see what some of you are seeing in Rogers when you say he is going to KO Kimbo. IMO he looked as raw as Kimbo did in the ring - Rogers just had a smaller guy to fight and scored his KO.

    Yeah here you go...

    Compare that finish to Kimbos performance. Kimbo landed a flush combination like that and did nothing but make Thompson take a few steps back...plus Thompson nearly stopped him in the second round.

    Here Thompson got a take down but never got any control over Rogers and then he got sparked out.

    Rogers doesn't really have stellar hands, and I seriously doubt his ground game is any better than Thompson's. With that said, I still think he beats Kimbo, who flat out sucks.

    Did you watch the link? He looked much better against Thompson than Kimbo. His ground game was nothing true, but he was never in trouble on the ground or dominated at any point by Thompson, unlike Kimbo. And when the shots landed....
    Big difference.

    I watched the Thompson/Rogers fight live. I can't base how this goes on how both guys handled JT. I don't think Rogers is a great fighter. I just think Kimbo is even worse :good

    I thought Rogers was bullied by Thompson. Rogers' power saved him. I don't think Kimbo hits as hard as Rogers. Power may, or may not, be the difference if Kimbo and Rogers square/octagon/circle jerk off. I just wouldn't base their match-up off their Thompson fights alone. Both were out muscled at times. Both caught Thompson with good punches. I repeat, I just think Rogers hits harder.

    I meant circle off. I'm drinking and "circle jerk" looked funny to me.

    Thanks for the link. The Grim Rogers certainly handled himself better against Thompson than did Kimbo. Rogers seems like the kind of fighter Kimbo needs to be fighting at this point in his career as they both seem evenly matched both in terms of physicality and technique. Beating Rogers would be a good win for Kimbo or else Grim could try to knock him out and take his place at the EliteXC table.
