Kimbo Vid

I know I was being sarcastic. Some people seem to think Kimbo is the next big thing and he's gonna destroy everybody in MMA. Yes in a street fight he might be one of the toughest guys there is and he has the look and attitude that people want, but once he fights guys that are more well rounded and in good shape it's going to be tough for him. Of course boxers early in their pro career don't fight somebody tough because they need that experience and ring time to work on their craft. Even for the most skilled and talented fighters they have to get some fights in to fight at that true professional level and beat the elite fighters. In MMA certain fighters can compete quickly because maybe they are really good at one specific art or are really strong and or big. Plus with the small gloves a KO is more likely. and damn you jumped on me pretty quick. Was it something I said? Tank is shot to pieces and then some, and Ray is old as sh**. Kimbo can only fight so many guys like this before he steps up to see if he is for real or not.

dumbass he's saying that tank isn't a big name but how many boxers go to big names in their 2nd fight. I know I was being sarcastic.

No Tank is not a big name, and i would not expect Kimbo to fight a big name so early in his pro career. But people are talking about Kimbo like he is some kind of heavyweight sensation who eats top level guys for breakfast. Too much hype around that guy, last night's fight sucked IMO, and no way it deserved to be a main event. Not to take anyhting away from Kimbo, he is a mean motherfucker. i'll just wait till he proves himself against somebody desent.

So what your saying is Tank is a top guy. I know he's well known, but he's definitely far from a top guy. dumbass he's saying that tank isn't a big name but how many boxers go to big names in their 2nd fight.

WAR KIMBO!! go get your BREAD

No, im not saying Tank is a top guy. Im saying that last nights fight was only Kimbo's 2nd pro fight. You are saying that you are not impressed because he has only fought cans. What is he suppose to do, go straight after the top mma guys in his first few fights? That was actually somebody else who complained about him fighting cans, but I'll admit it seems Bas Rutten is training him well and Kimbo threw some good shots last night with decent form. I know he's just starting and it's probably good for him fighting these kind of opponents for experience and what not, but he's getting a lot of hype. So far he's faced three guys that were taylor made for him once he fights a well rounded fighter and beats him then I'll jump on that hype train.

I thought we had an MMA forum. Stop crying! If u want no part of this thread, then dont enter it!

hmmm..I would like to see Kimbo fight Brock..

Kimbo does bring the excitement with his fighting style, look and personality. He plays the tough guy really well as was shown in his fight with Abbott when he threw his mouthpiece out of the ring and didn't use one. He's fought three guys that were taylor made for him. We'll see how he does against somebody who's well rounded.

yea i cant beleive the crowd was going that nuts. it sucks for him hes 34 and started so late if he had been training while being a little younger he coulda been huge. bas rutten really has done a good job with him. but he still needs more experience and skill. i would like to see him start using some kicks and what not. after fighting some lower level competition like 4 more times, maybe not as shitty as tank, but still low level than i think he might be experienced enough to move up. but they shouldnt rush him cause he has potential.

LoL. Kimbo looks too street fighterish for MMA. He doesn't give shit about mouthpiece, hits behind the head. Fight over too soon. I think this guy is bored in there, LoL. I don't follow much MMA, but I have seen a lot of Kimbo's fights on youtube and he is a beast.

Sweet first :banana: post! Anyways Kimbos has yet to impress me!! He needs to stop fighting cans!!!! why does he need to stop?... hes only had a hand full of fights? you dont jump right into the top 10 just like that good fight for kimbo

That crowd was horrible....

Kimbos a bad motherfucker,but who the hell is that guy? He looks 57

Seriously tank abbot!!!!Ray Mercer!!!Hes pulling guys out of retirement to fight. All Im saying he will never be an elite mma fighter. Anyone with decent skill will tear him up. And yes I know Tank called him out but he was just looking for another paycheck.

yeah i caught that great crowd....cant wait till kimbo goes to the ufc.......that was electrifying.......

It was only his 2nd proffesional fight for christ sakes! How many boxers do u know, go straight for the top guys in thier 2nd pro fight? So what your saying is Tank is a top guy. I know he's well known, but he's definitely far from a top guy.
