KIMBO is prime example why Boxers are better than MMA fighters

[Dawerlzgreatest]

Alright look

Kimbo...HAS ONLY BEEN TRAINING for a YEAR AND SOME CHANGE.... second...THIS IS HIS FOURTH FIGHT...

The brick bats kimbo is getting( hypejob...fraud...etc) i dont understand..how is he a fraud...he himself has admitted to not being close to the best..

and answer me this.. how many boxers who are 3-0 go fight top 25 or top 50 guys...

is a 3-0 heavyweight going to fight eddie chambers?...or fres oquendo

even fighting shamrock who albiet is washed up....still leaps and bounds more experience.

kimbo is supposed to fight tomato cans right now...not young..energetic.. highly skilled fighters

They really didn't have anyone to replace Shammy in the first place. Welcome to the unpredictable nature of MMA.

And no one hates on Kimbo the man. Everyone's cool with the man. They hate Kimbo the IMAGE. Plus, the organization has been treating great fighters like second class citizens to build a wave of hype over Kimbo. The loss is a strike back against this organization.

Guy beat Tank and Collosus fir chrissake, as well as a former Heavyweight boxing champ don't tell me those doesn't count as "creds" NOW that he's been khaned

Tank Abbott was 9-14 and hadn't won in years, he beat Mercer in an MMA exhibition, not boxing, his stoppage vs. Thompson was a gift and the fight should have been stopped in round 2 giving Kimbo his first Loss

If you had a boxing prospect you wanted to push and you put him up against Larry Holmes, Rid**** Bowe, and Andrei Arlovski, would you say that gives him cred if he goes 3-0?

...he got dropped by a damn jab!

Well to be fair what combat sport did Kimbo have any type of training/knowledge in before entering MMA?


Answer: Boxing. Im not saying Kimbo was actually fighting official boxing matches but it pretty obvious the only combat sport he knew anything of before entering MMA was boxing. He was basically a large street fighter with some basic boxing skills. Thats why he was destroying around the guys off the street.

He KNEW he would be a class D boxer a best so he got into MMA where he'd fit in.

By a guy standing on one leg.

one leg leaning on a cage and not even pulling back either! it was just a forearm punch like a flicking jab too.

Man, have you know this fool supported your boxing. His goal was to be a pro boxer.

None the less, that was his wat... fourth fight? How many boxers get KTFO?
Stop comparing this ****.

Fit in? He just got dropped in 14 secs by under card fighter in a smaller weight class. I think that makes Kimbo a D class MMA fighter also

Right. like I said, damage control. That's what Kimbo got for refining his 'MMA dry humping' rather than his stand-up defense.

So? His supporting boxing doesn't make him a boxer...he's an MMA fighter. Sure boxers get KTFO just like MMAers, hell even MMA elites get KTFO. Too much hype, then he gets floored by a flimsy jab, delivered in the most awkward stance, power coming only from the arms...that's all I'm saying. If Kimbo can't take that punch, he sure hell can't take a legit jab from a boxer.
