Kimbo Slice is a BUM!!!!

[Left Hook Tua]

I think the stoppage was good, at first I thought they stopped it cause he was getting beat up..but I soon after realized the mans ear had possibly ruptured. He was out on his feet anyway and would have been KOed.

Props to Kimbo for having a semi decent ground game for a noob though. I hope they stop sheltering him..they all probably thought Thompson would just get walked right through like the bum he is.

the stoppage was early but not without reason.

that doesn't mean the referee wasn't biased or had an agenda.

i wouldn't call it a robbery but imo the referee was trying to help kimbo.

the fight of the night was the girls. for some reason girl fights are quite entertaining for me. what they lack in skill they make up for in the fact that they fight like they're not scared to lose. too many fights are boring because fighters are trying not to get hurt or lose. the girls seems like they are always trying to win.

besides...... it doesn't look weird or awkward for me to see girls fighting from the guard...... :-)

Kimbo Slice just needs to go back to beating up people who cant fight at all out on the streets.

i don't know about guys that can't fight. some of the guys kimbo fought in the youtube tapes looked like guys that could fight just not technical fighting. big difference fighting as a sport and fighting on the streets.

I don't think we can understate the fact that the guy Kimbo fought got knocked out by Butterbean in like 30 seconds.

The man had a cauliflower ear that looked like a recent injury. If you burst that it's going to bleed like **** but it's not going to cause any serious damage. If a rugby player burst a cauli ear he'd have it wrapped up and be back on for the second half, it was fine.

Fact is that Thompson was hand picked to be a "step up in class" on paper from two forty year old men and a string of homelss drunks. He was supposed to look like a real fighter but still get knocked out in short order, and it took Mr Slice to the third round with a nudge and a wink from the Ref. I'm telling you we need to make Kimbo vs Butterbean and we need to make it now. Eric needs the cash.

If you bring anyone with MMA experience they're better then Kimbo on paper because Kimbo just recently started MMA but he still beats them

I forgot about that! Thompson couldn't even beat butterbean.. In Thompson's defense.. That was another premature stoppage. In light of the results of that fight, team Slice definitely didn't expect the fight to draw out as long as it did.

The funny thing about the Kimbo fight was that the referee was quite happy to watch Thompson get smashed to bits in the second round until he grabbed a hold of Kimbo and took him down and beat him up. In the third it looked like it was decided that it would be more prudent to deny Kimbo the highlight reel knockout that was initially planned to secure the stoppage. In other words even after taking five or six unanswered shots Thompson was dangerous enough to Kimbo for them to rush into the stoppage.

This was designed to be a Kimbo win, they're building up a record for him. And that's sort of fine, most new professionals have a period of fighting lesser competition to build up a reputation and get some confidence and experience, so in theory I have no problem with it. Where I have a problem is when one of these "scrub" fights is the main event and they still have to cheat like **** to make sure the house fighter wins. Notice in the first how quickly they were stood up when Thompson had Kimbo on the ground?

By the way Wlad Owns is correct, Vitali retired Lewis after their fight. So by his own logic Vitali was retired by Hasim Rahman. Four times. And they didn't even fight!

lolll

[wayno]
