This Kimbo Slice thing really pisses me off.

How is a fight with more rules more real? You are just an idiot, first you bump your ****ing gums about how mercer is going to kill this guy, then you whine about his age, then you dismiss it because it wasn't only punching. Well guess what ****wad, you knew his age before the fight, and you knew what kind of fight it was, and you were still so arrogant to think that all he would have to do is box to win.

 

Numbnuts, nobody is bitching about the rules. In fact, I admitted Kimbo used the smartest tactic.

He beat his ass with punches, and knees? Kimbo stood with Mercer for about 20 seconds before taking him back down again. Be sensible.

And I didn't pick Mercer to KO him right away, so telling me what everyone else said is meaningless.

And BTW.. that UFC guy he fought wasn't a pro.

 

Mercer wanted to fight, he approached the owners of the oranization and asked them to get him a fight, Kimbo was the perfect matchup marketing wise, and it was both of their first fights. Mercer has nobody to blame but himself for not learning the other aspects of the game.

 

Oh, I thought you ment Kimbo, I agree about Mercer.

 

I wasn't speaking exclusively to you, you ansty *******. I was addressing your point, which is shared by many. Keep your hair on.

 

:good I think Kimbo should continue to fight. How do you think he could in MMA if he continues to learn and improve?

 

Mercer knew what he was doing. It was his own decision to fight MMA. Neither Kimbo nor Mercer could be that good at MMA. This was a high profile "spectacle" fight, using Mercer´s and Kimbo´s fame to attract some dollars in revenue.

They wouldn´t put Kimbo in there with a great MMA fighter, because he´d get whupped, thus ruining his drawing power.

I do believe boxers can do well in MMA, but they need to get well prepared first, learn grappling / submissions / takedown defence etc. in order to have any chance in there.

I think in general that superb athletes can change sports and do well, if they get enough time to adapt and learn the proper skills.

 

Well.. it's a valid point. That UFC guy wasn't a pro, and as soon as he even tried putting Kimbo in a headlock his bitches cried foul.

 

same thing happened to the HW Matt skelton

different sport...

 

Everyone chill out, this has been a traumatic day for boxing, the worst thing we can do turn on ourselves. :nono

 

It bothers me, because at any age, I want to believe that a ex heavy weight contender can beat a street fighter who made himself famous by fighting bumbs in back yards.

 

Atleast no one got hurt too bad. But it would be cool to see Kimbo take on Ray now under Queensbury rules. Ah well.

 

It wasn't a streetfight nor a boxing fight. Kimbo wasn't even trying to knock him out , He just followed a safe gameplan , got Mercer on the ground and that was it.

I would've been pissed if Kimbo would've Koed mercer under boxing rules though.

 

it just shows how easy it is to take a boxer out of his element and beat him.

 

Yea true, I would expect if from a top MMA fighter. Just bothers me because I have idiot friends who have said stuff to me like, could Kimbo take Tyson? And I explain the virtues of the sweet science to them, and tell them to tune in for this example, and this happens. :fire :twisted:
