What Weve Learned From The Kimbo Fight

[DJ QUIK]

first off this is what separates boxing from mma. skill . in boxing the first thing they teach you while sparring is never i mean never run into the path of a scary punchers. never. you find a hole and slip the punches when you go in before you even think about throwing them. a trainer told me sometimes its only tow types of fighter in a fight. someone who knows how to fight and someone whos surviving. and the ones who surviving is the most dangerous. a scary fighter has nothing to lose and he throws punches from all angles its your job to weather the storm find a good spot and select and pick your shots. the exact opposite of what kimbo did tonite. he ran right in the path and took one on the chin and he was done. he showed a lot of honor and didnt make any excuses because he knew he ****ed up. in boxing you never i mean never lower your head and look down with your guard down like what he did tonite. ****ing never. theyll kick you out a gym for that. and thats exactly what mma fighters do. they have all this so called training but no fundamentals or discipline in most cases and they fight wild and risky as ****. mma is cool for entertainment and **** but it will never be referred to as a ''science'' let alone 'THE SWEET SCIENCE''

Serious MMA fans NEVER considered Kimbo as nothing more than a street fighter ready to be exposed...and it happened

I know Ken Shamrock is somewhere pissed lol

what a fuc.kin joke mma is.

You're using Kimbo Slice as a template for all of mma? Wow, so I guess I can use Barry Williams as a template for all of boxing. Nobody has ever taken Kimbo seriously. Almost every mma fan has said he is a joke. I agree with your point, boxers are better boxers than mma fighters. But to say mma fighters don't have any skills is ludicrous. Go to a jiu-jitsu school or mma school for a week and you will quickly change your mind.

That's a fact.

[Silencers]

That looked like an arm punch that put Kimbo down, he was way overhyped anyway.

yeah i wanted to really see ken get the fight due to how kimbo disrespected him. ken put mma on the map and if it wasnt for him kimbo wouldnt be eating. hed still be fighting in backyards and this is how you do him?

Kimbo was a joke among MMA circles. He was hyped up by a boxing promoter Gary Shaw.

Khan and Gamboa seem to be running into punchers. Gamboa got away with it tonight as he wasn't facing a world class opponent.

Its like my tio says, guys are MMA because they can't take a punch. The first punch they receive flush, they're on the mat. Otherwise, they'd be boxers.
