Kimbo will honestly get fucked up bad, who gives a fuck if mercer is old, boxers don't forget how to box overnight, he may be in retiremnet but he'll still have more skills on him than kimbo could learn in a lifetime, Kimbo fights bouncers and street thugs who should have a permit to fight on the street they are that bad. he is an internet tough guy nothing more whereas merecer is an ex pro and a fucking good one at that
I understand WHY some people think that Kimbo will take it to the ground. I just dont understand why anyone will think that he'll be any good at it. They are both training in MMA. Ray Mercer will, in my opinion, prove to be a more dedicated and adaptable student (based on the fact that he's learned to master 1 fighting style which he has lived for most of his life...thats one more than Kimbo) and will likely out punch as well as out-grapple Kimbo.
Why does everyone the internet Kimbo is fighting the young champion Ray Mercer. Kimbo will train and learn new skills while old ass Mercer will train, but at his age he is limited to what he can do. Kimbo should KO him with no problem. He's younger and is probably in a hell of a training camp right now.
i worry for Mercer, i dont see how he can stop Kimbo taking him down unless he catches him coming in to shoot.
I dont see how you can do this with a punch though, as a knee is much better.
RAY MERCER IS 75 YEARS OLD!!! ARE YOU GUYS MISSING THAT POINT? kIMBO SHOULD KNOCK HIM OUT. THATS WHY THEY PICKED A GUY LIKE RAY MERCER. YES HE WAS A CHAMP BUT THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO, LITTERALY
I just want to know why anyone on here thinks Kimbo will take this to the ground? Out of all of his fights I've seen, I never saw him take one to the ground. If Kimbo takes Mercer to the ground then it just proves that Kimbo is afraid of Mercer's power and is desperate. This fight will not go to the ground except when Slice gets ko'd. Slice has 0 ground game and doesn't even ever kick in his fights. Mercer by easy ko unless he quits like he did against Briggs and when he got kicked in the head in mma.
we are all thinking he is trying to win... plus he took it to the ground against gannon and tried to wrestle "the bouncer"

Didn't some fat cop already knock out Kimbo? Or did he just beat kimbo up? I forget, and too lazy to watch the fight because the fight was surprisely boring to me atleast.
Gannon from Providence. Dude cant crack a egg...it wasnt like a KO, more like exhaustion.
i cant see why people think kimbo will be good on the ground.
ive seen loads of big guys who suck at the ground game.
i think mercer has got this all wrapped up whatever happens.
that is his only chance so... and rays ground game probably isn't great either
maybe. but Mercer would consume Sean Gannon, who gave Kimbo numerous problems (standing up)
did any of u see ray quit after ONE kick in kickboxing i suspect IF kimbo can get him down a similar act will happen as ray will to fight isn't great
if it was boxing the ray would win without a doubt but this is mma and ray doesnt have the movement to avoid a clinch and being taken down, i see kimbo winning quickly on the ground.
yeah he lost,but he gained more respect.
What?! Exactly how did he gain respect by getting beat up by someone who was not an especially known fighter at all, who would've beat him easier and much more quickly were Kimbo's obnoxious 'posse' not jumping in at all times and making rules. Rule, I note, that completely changed when Kimbo rammed his man into the wall and mount punched him on the floor etc.
He got no respect from that whatsoever. He will get some respect from getting in the ring with Ray Mercer, but that will quickly vanish if Mercer knocks him out cold within the first round or two.
