Kimbo KNOCKED his old, fat ass out in the first 45 seconds of the first round. Kimbo wins with the KO

Posted by Sav SVT (Member # 7848) on :

Was a bad match up. Kimbo needs to be in the UFC. He is plowing through these week ass fight leagues

after you read what i posted you should have left the post if u didnt want to know.i originally started this thread cuz i DID want to know since i couldnt watch it [Wink]

Kimbo spanked Tank in under a minute.

Scott Smith fuckin rocked Kyle Noke's world so hard his eyes glazed over.

Ricco Rodriquez lost via split decision to Silva.

Rogers knocked Thompson the fuck out.

Posted by Yaterstang (Member # 7659) on :

The fight seems like they just wanted to get Kimbo an easy win. Kimbo seems pretty badass, i want to see him fight someone who wont just start attacking him. Kimbo just waits to counter your punch and starts to pound on you. He needs some tougher competition. 2-0 so far.

Posted by BUKSING (Member # 6594) on :

He needs to fight SEAN GANNON again....

Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :

I agree that once Kimbo fights an experienced MMA fighter and goes to the ground (like say Frank Mir for example) then it is curtains for him.

I say this because I know that he has been training hard with Bas and others, however, anyone that has spent anytime on the ground knows that you can train and train but it takes awhile, even if you are really really talneted (which Kimbo appears to be) to get the moves engraved into your muscle memory.

I know he is in shape and I know he can chuck em but I just don't think he has the ground game he will need to be a force to be reckoned with in the MMA, for now.

Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :

........and I know that I sound like Joe Rogan..

Posted by WRS92GT (Member # 5008) on :

Honestly Kimbo is making progress but if you look at the overall picture Kimbo has a street bare knuckle brawler mindset.

He stated that he's always wanted to fight Tank and Tyson. Gee calling out a couple of has been's. REAL impressive. Why not call out someone like Brock Lesnar, Andrei Arlovski, Heath Herring or as stated Frank Mir? Those opponents would all be very close in overall size. I am 150% confident in saying that any of the above mentioned fighters would plow Kimbo into the ground like an ox plowing a cotton field.

I agree 150X

If it happens at all, Kimbo will get handled.

Those MMA fighters didn't fuckin fall off of a bar stool and into the MMA.

even though tyson is old and washed up he still has what it takes to knock out kimbo.. if they go mma rules then kimbo can just bring it to the ground.

he fights there because he doesnt want to lose.

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

he fights there cause thats the organization that picked him up.. his name wasnt big enough yet or the u.f.c probably didnt want o pick him up and him lose his first fight right away. kimbo will fight anyone he is getting payed for that. he didnt go somewhere cause he doesnt want to lose.

Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :

I cant believe most aren't giving him credit what so ever. Yea he was a street brawler and yea he is new. But you have to give him credit for having just the raw talent it takes. I agree at his current level he cant think the match as good as some can. But he has more raw ability than just about anyone named. Just not the training and discipline as most. Which is essential. SO while I agree he may get waxed, but he has the best punchers chance I have seen. And with training he can be great. As with all greats, training is necessary.

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

n8 i agree with you.. i believe he has a great foundation yea he was a street brawler so what.. he definatly has the heart and dedication or else a guy like bas wouldnt take the time to train him. they say he busts his ass with no complaints he wants to get better and he will get better. as long as he is still working on his ground game i think he will do fine. same for brock he neads to work some submission defense his wrestling is there everyone wants to say he is fake he came from wwe no he came from great wrestling and got into the fake shit for quick money.

Posted by Dave50 (Member # 5238) on :

I think its funny the same haters hes always had now compare him to UFC's top fighters. The street fighting bum is getting better LOL.

decent quality, looks like poor fight.

Posted by 68dustin (Member # 5388) on :

i have to admit, i didnt like him or think anything special would come out of him.. but he's getting skilled.

Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :

lmmfao.....Did you here the announcer say "which Tank will we see. Sherman or Septic..."

Man Kimbo leaned up...He looked pretty good. I think he would make a good Boxer as well. I thought the tank dude was better than that. But hell he took a hell of a shot. Who was the announcer at the end? He looked like a WWF wrestler. Also is it possible for Kimbo to fight Jackson? DOnt know much about UFC and MMA I thought they were the same.

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

jackson is light heavy and until they are in the same organization they wont fight and tank.. had knockout power and a decent sprawl but he is too old and cant compete with the guys at his weight nowdays

Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :

I said it in the begining that KIMBO will Knock out Tank and well I quess I was right! KIMBO ALL THE WAY

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

no one should of thought differently.. tank telegraphs his right hand, his jab is lazy and just kind of flipped out there. he does still have power in his punches but you should be able to step off cause like i already said he telegraphs his punches.

Be careful of this guy he knows his fighting! Chances are hes a fighter!

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

dont know if thats sarcasm or not, but i know a thing or two haha

Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :

Kimbo is getting better.

He is talented and he is dedicated.

Dedication is what makes these fighters, great fighters.

He will be, but he has alot to learn and alot of training to do in my opinion.

God knows he hits hard.

It would be pretty dumb to put Kimbo in a ring with someone that is a seasoned vet. Brock lesnar may not be a seasoned vet but he is a world class wrestler. In my opinion his management is being smart by bringing him along slowly and having him make some money at the same time. thats what good managers do. It was pretty dumb of brock and his management to put him in the ring with a former champion in only his second fight. Brock did not do anything except cry uncle in under a minute LOL! I would like to see how far Kimbo will have progressed within the next year. After that he should step his game up alot.

Posted by ModularMotorz (Member # 5954) on :

just watched it on youtube... wow was that a quick fight...

Posted by uncle bill (Member # 3953) on :

no doubt, kimbos a hungery fighter hes not playing. he needs to get in the ring with better fighters. not taking anything away from kimbo, but when was the last time tank abbott 9 wins 14 losses won a fight. kimbos in fighting shape tank was emberesing

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

I am a little tired of hearing the broken record saying, "... but he hasn't fought anyone yet"

NO SHIT! He is brand new to professional fighting. Obviously the guy is not going to get a title shot right off the bat.

He will most likely have 2 or 3 more bums before fighting someone noteable. That's expected.

He is not the most technically sound fighter in the world, but he is very tough, extremely strong, and dangerous.

I am excited to see him doing well thus far and think he is a marketable fighter. He will be tested in due time, and then we will see what he is made of. But I'm not jumping down his throat for beating the two guys put in front of him, despite Tank and Ray not being the most formidable opponents.

I personally think the good fighters don't want to fight this guy. Too much risk, not enough reward... at least until Kimbo's win record increases.

Posted by stangin' (Member # 514) on :

with his aggressive style of fighting and strength, he has potential to do pretty well in boxing in the heavyweight division.

he would probably make more money in boxing than mma, that is if he can knock guys out like he did in the streets.

He would really have to work on his stamina for boxing, tho I agree he could do well and make lots more money. Plus I think his image would be great for boxing.

I'm not seeing why anyone hates on kimbo and brock. Ya they are new to mma but shit man these guys are 1000000 times the athletes that the haters are. I give them a lot of credit for getting out there and doing it because they got a big learning curve ahead of them. Most of the fighters have decades of training over them. But at least they are very physical and athletic so things will come easier for them. I loved those kimbo vids. And brock is just a monster and a freak of a human being. I think they will do well in mma just give them time.

Oh and I think Kimbo rapes Gannon if they fight now.

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

kimbo fucked up gannons face last time he just gassed out.. i also agree if they fight now mma rules or just stand up kimbo will beat his ass
