I think Kimbo did better than i thought, he learned pretty fast! This man has fighting talents, he should have started earlier and he should have been a boxer i bet he would make some noise. Hes just an natural fighter and with serious training and good trainers he could have gone far in boxing or in K-1 or MMA or wahtever he would have tried. Now it might be to late to develop into an good professional fighter at boxing, MMA or wahtever.
Own up to your ****ing predicition. Looks like boxing isn't all you need is it fanboy? Mercer was clueless against a guy allowed to clinch and knee, he was losing that fight standing up too, not just on the ground.
don't know about that bro. kimbo seems like a good mma fighter... plus he has a lot of star power hes probably one of the most popular mma fighters out there
Why not? I may aswell have been a sword fight.Kimbo is a street fighter.Mercer is a PRO boxer.There 2 entirely diffrent beasts.atsch
He has a big following on the web because of his internet hardman antics.Like i said if Kimbo is serious let him compete as a pro on the pro circuit in MMA and only then will i take him seriously.
And so ends the debate of "Put Kimbo in their with a trained Boxer and he will killed". Kimbo absolutely manhandled Mercer.
the first thing you said is true I don't know how anyone could think otherwise. however kimbo slice is not an mma fighter. Hes a streetfighter her trained some mma for this match.
Heh, true that. I still have a 7 y.o bumfights CD with him on it haha. Funny, how boxing fanboys starting to back down now lol. If they only knew that all MMA fighters actually love/like boxing...
I was one who said I expected Mercer to KO Kimbo with a jab. I was under the impression that Kimbo was going to fight Mercer like he has fought all the other street scraps as he has in the past. As soon as I found out Kimbo, was training with Bas Rutten and company, I said one of two things would happen, and I still believe they hold true... I said that if Kimbo fought toe to toe, he would get owned which he would have.. I also said if Kimbo took the fight to the ground he would win via ground and pound. I was off slightly, I didn't expect him to Choke Mercer out, but I was at least correct about a ground victory. I think a lot of people were expecting Kimbo to bring it with the style he is known for. I'm telling you, if he knuckled up against Mercer and not gone for the takedown he would have been knocked out.
This fight is on a par with Butterbean vs Holmes in terms of significance. If this victory over an old, fat, retired pro boxer is something to crow about, then MMA fans must be desperate indeed.
