Yeah that one is kinda old. I wish there was a fighter like Mike Tyson again. I love to look at old Tyson Video!!! Tyson back when he was like 20/21 could have tought Kimbo a lesson big time!!!

It's because he choked him for so long. I don't know the rules to this fight but that took the energy out of him.

Good video. the cop whooped his @$$, and took a damn good beating at the same time. what the hell is with the 30 second count though? i mean, how many times did the cop have to knock his @$$ down before they called the fight over?!?!?

The story behind kimbo is kinda interesting.

Down in Miami the porn industry is HUGE. There are several big and small time porn companies, and they all think they are the ish. So they get together and get someone to represent their company in street fights, and Kimbo is one of them. If you look closely, he is the driver of the limo @ inthevip.com.

Well there are message boards online that are all about fighting (UFC, Pride, Underground, etc.) And the company posts there. Sean Gannon is also a MMA fighter and not a good one at that. Guy hasnt won a MMA fight i believe. Anyway he said he could take Kimbo blah blah blah. so they set up the fight as a street fight, but with no knees, no submissions,no kicks, nothing like that, just fists.

Well gannon got a little too excited and started kneeing and all that.

IMO Kimbo woould have won the fight if they stayed in the rules and didnt get tired.

yikes, well in that case i take what i said back. if it was supposed to be just fists then the cop stepped over the boundaries many times, and was probably the only reason why he won. why did they let him do the submission holds on kimbo though? they were all over him about the knees, but didn't say anything about the head locks?

dude.. the rules were fighting while standing up. no take downs.. kimbo took the other guy down first and punched him numerous times while gannon was one the ground, thats were his face got messed up. after that kimbo continued trying to take gannon down. after braking the rules everything is allowed that's why kimbo got a few knees to the face..

i love it when ppl make excuses for these fighters..."if he hadnt gassed out, he would've won..if he were juicing, the outcome would be different.."
plain and simple, kimbo got his ass beat but did leave his presence on sean's face.
who really cares about both of these fighters..they both are considered at the lower end of the spectrum when compared to pro mma fighters.

Mmmmm....As far as I'm concerned there are no rules in street fighting...If you add all those rules then you're gonna need a referee....

Good fight though, too bad the bistandards kept getting involved...I love watchin' Kimbo fighting, that dude is bad ass...I thought he would've lasted a little longer...That other guy was nothing special he was just able to take the punches...In the end thats all that matters....
