Kimbo trashes boxing but only wants to punch? Interview excerpt.

[larry x]

if you dont wanna hit the ground..you're in the wrong sport...guess he didnt like getting ground and pounded by that **** that ko'd him

[Hero Complex]

Kimbo Slice is a marketing tool, nothing else.

[TEXSTRO]

But he submitted Ray Mercer cause he knew his chin would get touched!

[The Noose]

Where does he trash boxing??

I think he likes trading punches with guys who are on his unskilled level of punching.
Being a pure slugger in a boxing ring doesnt work.

Kimbo makes Marciano look like Ali.

[mrpain81]

Why should Boxing fans care what a no talent bum like Kimbo has to say?

[DrewWoodside]

I don't see how he's 'insulting' boxing here.


Basically, he's saying that he wants to keep a fight standing, and that he feels like people like to see the heavies stand up and ****, as opposed to doing ground work.

He said "It's Bigger than Boxing." That's a direct dig at boxing in. Also, if he says he wants to keep the fight standing, then it's boxing. I say this because he doesn't really kick. So if you're standing and using your hands that's generally considered boxing. Unless he's suggesting that all he wants to do is blindly wing Hayemakers. I suppose that wouldn't be considered boxing.

[DrewWoodside]

But he submitted Ray Mercer cause he knew his chin would get touched!

Exactly, so he wants to walk this thin line where he can avoid the most talented fighters in their best departments. He made himself look like a self serving jack ass in this statement. With that said I may still root for him tonight just cause he's entertaining.

[SOTO]

Kimbo Slice is a BUMM anyone with real skills will burn this guy.

[DrewWoodside]

Where does he trash boxing??

I think he likes trading punches with guys who are on his unskilled level of punching.
Being a pure slugger in a boxing ring doesnt work.

Kimbo makes Marciano look like Ali.

He said "It's bigger than boxing." It's pretty clear, and yes, he says he wants unskilled punching.. That's an insult to MMA and himself.

[Uturn]

Kimbo can only brawl that's all that he has to his game. Kimbo would be knocked out in seconds in the heavyweight division by journeymen.
