This Kimbo Slice thing really pisses me off.

Its made me upset: it will **** me off hearing more and more about MMA and more of this Kimbo Slice bull****. I hate when people talk bad about boxing.

Kimbo should have an exhibition in the ring against Samuel Peter or Lamon Brewster - totally unfair for Kimbo, but I can't stand the guy.

 

Ray in 1991 would have smashed his way through a hardwood door and taken anyones shots flush doing it.......

Nowadays Ray is a shadow of his former self.. He is a good guy to keep in the game even at amateur level, he has so much to give, yet just can't bring himself to hang em up.....

 

:rofl
Own it ***gots, you knew how old Mercer was when you were talking all that ****, he didn't suddenly turn 46, you thought a 46 year old ex boxer would win just because he is a boxer, don't ****ing cop out on it now, man up and gain back a little respect. Randy Couture is 44 for the record.



Looks like you need to know more than just boxing, even if the other guy has only been training MMA for 6 months. I guess you can't just automatically avoid a takedown with footwork, or strength, or even 1 punch KO power.:think Hell, he wasn't even winning that fight on the feet, a few more knees and he was done.



I'm a huge boxing fan, thats why I came here, for the classic forum, where people understand boxing and fighting in general, but idiots like you make me love rubbing this **** in.

 

Fedor would destroy Kimbo Slice. Bob Sapp would have beaten Kimbo Slice.

 

There are a lot of posters here who have real fighting experience and understand the sport of boxing and fighting in general.

 

He ia a very good guy with youngsters , he could make a great role model for uncoming young heavyweights..

He had a youth programm for inner city youths in the early 90's called Project Pride..

He could save a lot of young men from the streets .............

 

I understand where you're coming from, because I'm bothered by it, too.. not so much because he got subbed, but more or less because Kimbo was smart enough to immediately try to take Mercer down.

Kimbo was always so high on himself in his street fight videos, INSISTING that the fights be strictly stand-up, with punches only. As a matter of fact, when Kimbo was fighting that UFC guy, and the guy kept trying to put him in headlocks, I remember Kimbo's butt-hurt little followers kept jumping in, and telling the guy that grappling wasn't allowed. Then in a rather laughable case of irony.. as soon as Kimbo faces Mercer, someone who he KNOWS can probably murder him standing up.. he immediately takes it to the ground. :roll:

 

Yea, but they aren't the ones I'm talking to, the ones I'm talking to are the ones I quoted, and they are poster children for back alley abortions.

 

I would much rather him do that than continue fighting

 

Why? He looked pretty good for a guy in his first fight, and all of his trainers spoke very highly of him as a fighter and a person.

 

Yea but its fair game. Those are the rules they fought under, what they both agreed to.

 

Like I said, Kimbo was smart for doing it.. which is why I'm so bitter about it.

 

Kimbo also insists on not fighting any pro fighters. He knows his limitations. He says he'll fight anyone, but no pros in his street fights.

In this case he decided to fight a pro boxer in an MMA fight. Everyone knew the rules and still picked Mercer to KO him right away. But Kimbo ****ing mauled Mercer and beat his ass with punches, knees, and finally a choke. So to ***** about the rules now is just petty. I don't understand the insecurity.

 

He's well into his 40s, he is a shell of his former self, he can't compete with the top heavyweights right now, and he can't compete at a high level in MMA. I don't want to see Mercer take any more punishment than he has to and I want to see him be able to function properly at an advanced age. Mercer should do something productive with his life than he can get satisfaction from and younger kids can benefit from.
