Kimbo Slice to try boxing

this guy is crazy

honestly he shouldve came to boxing first. We gon see what he made off this is his last chance A decent boxer will kill the guy... Imagine one of the Klit bros poppin that jab out at him for -12 rounds... If he would have trained in boxing he could have potential, but street fighting is a totally different animal... Personally, I like to see the guy go at it and have watched him for quite some time...And When he fights, I will be watching...But boxing, I don't think he will do very well...Most of these guys know how to throw a real jab, and know how to properly punch...They have worked at this art for years...Bring a PURE street fighter into the picture?? I don't see him faring very well, but I can't wait to see him give the Sweet Science a go...

Kimbo Slice to try getting ktfo

With proper training Kimbo could possibly be a great boxer. He definitley has the power and heart. Curious how that power is after putting 10 oz gloves on his hands...Alot of his street fights he cut the hell out of his opponent because his knuckles are like razors...

They're gonna pit him against Holyfield, I know it...now I know how big MMA fans feel about Toney-Couture...except Toney was good.

I have a feeling Kimbo is going to duck Williams. :nonono:

I would murk Kimbo with the gloves.

He got knocked out by a *** and of all punches by a measly jab.

Kimbo Slice is apparently headed to try the Sweet Science:lol1:, and Gary Shaw compares him to Mike Tyson...:thinking::lol1: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/news/story?id=5501435 Kimbo Slice, the viral video backyard-fighting sensation turned mixed martial artist, is gearing up for a foray into the sweet science. Slice, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, told ESPNNewYork.com that he's eager to see how he fares in the boxing world, after spending almost three years in MMA. "I feel like a baby all over again," said the 36-year-old Florida resident. "I'm thinking about this at night. I'm gonna be a problem in the heavyweight division. I'm going to be coming in with a bad demeanor. I want to see what it's like to break some ribs, break a jaw with one punch." At Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, New Jersey-based promoter Gary Shaw recently told ESPNNewYork.com that he was confident he would soon have a deal signed with Slice. After weeks of negotiations with Slice's advisor "Icy" Mike Imber, Shaw told ESPN that he'd inked a deal and that Slice would debut sometime between October and December, depending on how much progress he makes with trainer Clemente Medina, a California-based tutor. Slice said he wouldn't close the door on MMA and that he greatly enjoyed his tenure with the UFC, and appreciated the opportunity UFC chief Dana White gave him. "This is a career move," he said. "I love fighting. I like to knock people the out. I love engaging. Maybe some people think I'm crazy." Slice signed on with the UFC and earned a win over Houston Alexander on Dec. 5, 2009, after taking part in the "The Ultimate Fighter 10" ****e TV reality show. He lost his lone bout on the show, an exhibition tussle with eventual victor Roy Nelson. He was stopped by Matt Mitrione at UFC 113 on May 8, however, and parted ways with the company. In a boxing division dominated by the cerebral, caution-first Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, Shaw says that if his hunch is right, that time with strength and conditioning coach Darryl Hudson kicks Slice's cardio into a new zone, the fighter could be challenging for a title after six or so fights. "He could easily be at the same level as guys the Klitschkos have been fighting," said Shaw, who gave a shout-out to son Jared, who turned him on to the much-downloaded backyard brawler several years ago. "Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's coming to boxing too late, but I don't think so. He's not a beaten-up athlete. He's a natural, with that bob and weave like Mike Tyson." Slice has had issues with balky knees, but says he's squatting 315 pounds and running with no problems. No one, he said, will question his dedication, or have cause to dismiss him as a hyped-up product of skilled viral video marketing. He promised to bring a closing mentality to the ring, in contrast to some of the heavyweights who prefer to peck away at their foes, rather than bludgeon them into submission. "I'm safety-first driving, wear my seatbelt," Slice said. "Not in the ring. These fighters these days, they're complacent, lazy. I'm hungry. I just dropped three of my kids off at tutoring. It's expensive!" A Floyd Mayweather-level payday would be something to look forward to, he said, but Slice showed some of the humility that made many MMAers believers in his respect for their sport. "That'd be nice," he said. "But unfortunately I'm still a little squirrel, in a big world, looking for my nut." Shaw thinks Slice will find success as a boxer. "I've always said he could be a world champion," said Shaw, who was an executive at Elite XC, the promotional outlet which staged Slice's first four MMA bouts. "I believe in that more than ever. This is not the era of Tyson, Holyfield and Lennox Lewis." Michael Woods is a contributor to ESPNNewYork.com and ESPN The Magazine and editor of TheSweetScience.com. Have fun with this one, lol Just from that article the Klits have such a lock on the heavyweight division, it feels like Kimbo enters fighting for second place. Like it's already understood that under no circumstances can he ever be the legitimate champion. I think it's ridiculous to even suggest he can beat David Haye entering this late in the game.
