This Kimbo Slice thing really pisses me off.

Dude if this would have taken place I wouldnt have gone to work. :deal

 

again , take a good look...this is an elite mma fighter.
This **** ain't streetfighting..it ain't boxing..nor kickboxing...

sweetscience is all good but this is a totally different sport.

 

The point is that Mercer lost a MMA fight. Not a street fight , not a kickboxing or boxing fight.

And even though Kimbo is an absolute nobody in the MMA scene , it doesn't change ****. Kimbo trained several weeks before the fight. He had a gameplan.

He did learned some basics. Nothing special but enough to stop mercer from imposing a boxing lesson on his ass.

The point is...why should we be pissed by this?
I was rooting for Mercer but it's not the end of the world.
Mercer didn't lost inside a boxing ring...his fight had nothing to do with boxing.

 

It shows that this theory many boxing fans have that a boxer will be able to just KO anyone in MMA with their "golden fists" is complete bull****.

 

I never suscribed to that theory.

 

Dude and say this once in in caps IT WAS NOT A BOXING MATCH! IT WAS MMA!!!!

 

It bothers me that people are saying that Mercer might win a "street fight".

A street fight has no rules, as such, an MMA fight is a far better representation of what would happen in a street fight than a boxing match.

 

If it was a top level MMA vs a top level boxer, its clear that a boxer is at a severe disadvantage. As a boxer you just can't stop a person from covering up and rushing in. The boxer has one, maybe two shots at a punch before they are locked up and either thrown or slammed to the canvas. Then the match is pretty much over.

 

Yeesh, yet another thread where people keep spouting "Yah but if it was a boxing match, the boxer would have won easy."
For ****s sakes, even the most die hard MMA fans generally agree with that.
I'm under absolutely no delusion that a world class MMA guy would stand a chance against a world class boxer in a boxing match.

But, IT WASN'T A BOXING MATCH!!

If that was unfair to Mercer, then he never should have agreed to participate.

If a MMA guy agreed to fight a world class boxer in a boxing match and then gets his ass kicked how would you feel if his fans complained it wasn't fair because he was restricted by boxing rules. You'd tell them to shut the **** up as their fighter was dumb enough to agree to a boxing match.
Well, Mercer agreed to fight with MMA rules, and he lost because of it. He has nobody to blame but himself.

Of course, ultimately this doesn't prove much as neither Mercer or Kimbo are elite in their field.

 

only thing that pissesm off is sayiing that a streetfighter wil win. the guy was 50 comeon. klitchko woould kill kimbo in an MMA fight

 

Well, if that's true I have no sympathy for Mercer. The same way I have no sympathy for a boxer who loses because he didn't train properly.

And actually he did lose because of MMA rules because he was submitted by choke, which is something that is allowed in MMA and not boxing.

 

Only if he took the time to learn basic ground fighing. If not, he would lose again.

 

Yeah, let's see that clown try to take on Mercer in the squared circle and see how well he does! :nod

 

Mercer took the fight, he should have known what he was in for. Maybe he did not care, just wanted money. In boxing, or even with Kimbo allowed to kick, Mercer knocks him silly. As long as Kimbo does not try to claim he is better boxer, I have no complaints.
