[robjr]

yea if u ask me.. choking out ray mercer is nothin to brag about.. try tradin with him kimbo...

[McNulty]

No U CanT Teach An Old Dog New Tricks.. He Probably Didnt Train For Nothing But Boxing Cuz Kimbo Lied And Said He Was Going To **** With Him .. Then Rushed Him

Exactly...lets get Cintron in there against Shrek and see what happens....expose!

They'll put Bimbo against Tank...he'll do the same to Abbot. Then he'll start having trouble. They had him as 33...gaha. Dudes like 38.

Yes. Cintron exposed as the high school wrestler that he is.

Did you see the footage? That was textbook 101 on how to stop a heavily favored striker. That's in everybody's notes. What Kimbo did to Mercer is
what would happen to heavy strikers 75%-95% of the time.

Exactly. Even if Dana White won't sign Cintron(and he wants to prove a point), he is free to go to any smaller promotion and fight. I'll guarantee just about every promoter/matchmaker would kill to get a boxer of his caliber on their cards, as long as he does not price himself out of their range. If he scores a few wins, especially in exciting fashion, Dana would then scoop him up fast.

Mercer needs to retire. With the fights he has had in his career he has taken a lot of punches. He is nearing the age of 50. It is really time to quit.

Cintron is too small. He probably walks around below 190. I heard he was an All American wrestler though, so that combined with his boxing ability gives him a much better chance than any other boxer.

I have seen guys on the ultimate fighter who were raw and learned on the show. The deaf guy, who was a college wrestler pretty much only had that to rely on and he is successful. The tall lanky black guy was raw off the street too, and he did pretty well. What Im basically saying is if a boxer were given the chance to learn then I dont see why they couldnt become succesful. Anyways Im rambling...

Does anyone know how to get a street fight with Kimbo? I am asking about the type of fight we have all watched him in online, not an mma fight like he had with Mercer.

It all depends on the individual. At my gym you have all kinds. Some guys are very good at standup and just can't excel at ground work. Others are terrors on the ground, but just can't get very good at standup. Like on the day I got my Blue belt, one of my friends got his Purple. He started BJJ 8 months AFTER I did. It just came easier to him than me.

How long does it take the average guy in bjj to get a black belt?
And those that are really talented?

About 10 years on average to get a Black Belt. One of the guys at my gym got his in about 8. BJ Penn took about 3 years, but he is just God-gifted. I have been doing it about 4 years now, and I'm only a Blue Belt.

BJJ still has VERY strict standards. You cannot get a Blue until you are at least 16 years old. Those under 16 have different belt colors. You cannot get a Black until you are at least 18.
