Butterbean is probably the greatest farce in the history of fighting, both boxing and MMA. To think, there was a time when he was being featured on HBO PPVs, while others who could actually fight weren't getting air time. On the DLH-Rivera card some years back, Butterbean's fight was televised while Daniel Santos, Vasiliy Jirov and Zahir Raheem's fights were untelevised. What a clown.
Getting blown out by Mitch Rose, 1-7, in his third fight. To think people still tried to promote him after this garbage.
This was pretty pathetic, against Pat Smith Butterbean gets beat in the standup game then goes down and is beaten into submission for a few minutes on the floor. Taps out like a punk.
Nobody took him seriously in boxing, labeling him a freakshow (he's the sumo version of midget boxing :D) so he went to where he would fit in nicely...MMA!:lol1:
I'm a die-hard mma fan and I have never seen a single butterbean mma fight live. he is not even close to being mainstream in the mma world. if he showed up to fight in UFC, nobody would know who he is. Butterbean has had a much better boxing career than an mma career and his worst, most embarrassing defeats have been in mma.
he was also outboxed by an ancient Larry Holmes :lol1:
** Heh, heh, but how much koolaide were you drinkin' that nite?
Not only did Bean, Butter Bean have Big Pants Lar doin' a larded up version of Judah's chicken stumble early in the fight, courtesy a right hand, but he sent Big Pants Lar to the wrong stool mid fight where Big Pants Lar had to be guided back to his own stool. Then he KDed the spaghetti legged Big Pants Lar with seconds left in the final round with a left hook to the neck.
Credit Big Pants Lar for beating the count, but he had to grab the ropes to keep from falling down AGAIN and rode them to the other side of the ring to extend the count out as long as possible. So the the final bell rang to end the 10th round before Bean, Butter Bean could finish him, 6 more rounds than Bean, Butter Bean had ever contested before.
A 12 round fight would have seen Bean, Butter Bean do the Mike Tyson impersonation and leave Big Pants Lar lying paralyzed on the canvas, cursing the day he was born.
Instead of 12 rounds, we gots the usual suspects here propping up a shot fighter in his last big mouthed performance against the most popular 4 rd side attraction in the history of the sport. Must have been a life and death in the balance struggle for you dears to bring it up as though it had some meaning.
Bean, Butter Bean laughed all the way to the bank, and Big Pants Lar gave thanks for not having to curse the day he was born.
Amen.........:usa:

yeah
somehow butterbean managed to creep into many boxing video games...where the selection included ali..frazier...holmes...holyfield..etc.
just like in an MMA game kimbo will be included without question.....

kimbo would obviously murder butterbean....butterbean doesnt take it seriously...kimbo does..big difference..kimbo is hungry(not dietarily speaking like butterbean)
in the second vid the commentator says:
'he is down and he'll never get up again!'
I almost shat my self
I found it funnier when the announcer said "Butterbean sucks you in, lets you strike away at him, he has no neck"
to the TS nice to see Bean's last couple MMA fights .. but why not show his most recent K-1 fight .. 2 months ago vs Cabbage. wound up getting dropped by a head kick
funny thread
and Butterbean vs Kimbo Slice should happen in the very near future.
Butterbean thrased the same James Thompson that Kimbo got a gift stoppage against...
He also has a very good record though and was never regarded as a serious contender...he was "king" of a division that didn't truly exist.
Can't call him the biggest farce because he was labelled as a boxing attraction, not a fantastic boxer
...Dead on Neils, and as a farce Kimbo is the King compared to Butterbean being just another player.
you have herbie hide as ur avy so i cant take u serious
Herbie at 37 years old is the future.
Don't all you fellow Brits jump on the Herbie Bandwagon if Haye gets starched, it's time to get on now. Especially after his demolation of the teak tough lithunian.

Yeah they were being realistic. It takes a ridiculous effort to get him up. I forgot which video they say "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" or something.

To be fair as soon as he is on the floor in MMA he has lost.
On a side note, he could KO Wlad.
Nah, he's just overweight and 40 years old. It's not karma. It's called hanging on too long.
Yeah, all of those tough four-rounders against no-hopers have finally caught up with the lard boy.
It's karma for beating up bums. He is getting it pretty bad now and I find it hilarious. He is boxing's Kimbo Slice, a guy who can't fight and makes no attempt to condition himself getting his comeuppance.

It was in the promotions of it, not in the media. No one wanted to touch Butterbean with an ounce of credability.
Another funny video.
lllolll i never even knew he fought mma but his ground game is histerical he is perfectly round and he rolls all over the place lol
