What was Kimbo doing choking Ray Mercer out like that? In an MMA bout for Christ's sake. I reminds me of those minor league pitchers striking out Michael Jordan. Using pitches!!!! I bet they couldn't hang with Jordan on the basketball court. What were the Dallas Mavericks thinking by not letting the great football cornerback, Deion Sanders, not play on their basketball team. I'd like to see Dirk try to catch a pass from a quarteback on the football field with Sanders covering him. Dirk would suck at that. What a loser. This reminds me of the time world class wrestler, Mark Coleman, lost to ex kick boxing champion, Maurice Smith, in a MMA bout. I bet if they weren't allowed to strike, Coleman would have easily dealt with Smith. Especially on a wrestling mat. I can't believe they even let that joke, Smith, into the octagon knowing this. Smith can't wrestle with Coleman. This fight should have happened under wrestling rules, where it belonged.
Kid, he's on YOUR side. THe whole thing is a sarcastic poke at those of us who think Kimbo basically pulled a bull**** move cause he could beat Mercer in a real fight. And they know it - mano a mano, punch for punch, Ray woulda starched this clown.
Fight sucked. Mercer couldn't stop take down. I would have loved a punch-out too but Kimbo was better trained for this event.
You are right about that. I absolutely, without a doubt, know that if it were a boxing match Ray Mercer would have beat up and KOd Kimbo. I agree with that 100%. I also agree that this win it isn't exactly going to help Kimbo's reputation as a streetpuncher. Still, it was a pretty clear demonstration of what happens when a boxer tries to fight an MMA fight. I ABSOLUTELY 100% agree that the opposite would have happened in a boxing match. Even if Kimbo was a very good MMA fighter, which he is not, he would have gotten beat up badly in a boxing match. Can we all now agree that MMA fighters easily win over boxers in an MMA fight and boxers easily win over MMA fighters in a boxing match?
I didn't finish reading it, it sounded like you making up excuses, it get's old after a while, bottom line a street fighter easily exposed of a boxer in an open rules fight.
wow Jazzo, that's the most productive post I 've seen from you yet, but he has blinders on and doesn't really understand the whole point of it.
I posted this in the other mercer thread and peopl think this [gv]-3133201569936738742[/gv] is "boring" and "gay". You bitches have no respect for any other forms of combat disciplines and are ready to call a legend of this sport a bum...It's the general mentality here. You guys are living in denial.
whats with this kimbo??? if he wants to fight mma..........let him fight an mma fighter, not some 45 year old boxer who knows nothing about mma. if he wants to box, fight a guy his age, like vladimir virchis. but quit this "streetfighter fighting boxer under MMA rules" BULL****!!!
wow what the hell. the coleman/smith scenario that you brought up is ridiculous. Coleman was aloud to use wrestling in the mma bout but was unsuccessful. he wasn't limited and neither was smith so i don't know what the hell your talking about.
It doesnt mean nothing like many suggest, it means somthing. I think as boxing fans we could be honest and say ****, I thought he was going to KO this streetfighter but he didnt. Its not a total indictment on boxing, as Mercer is 46 years old, but damm we should conceed that it wasnt a great night for the sweet science.
