Just like some of us made some false generalisations though, you are doing the exact same thing, and ultimately making the same mistake that a lot of us boxer made by saying "you would tap any of us out". When you are in a fight anything can happen, and if you are serious about pursuing an MMA career, you need to understand this.
You also have to understand that Kimbo is a 31 year old man who is so strong and athletically gifted he made it onto the Tampa Bay Bucaneers practice roster without ever even having a college football career. This is a very big and very strong dude, fighting against a 46 year old boxer who 2 years ago was dominated and knocked out by the mediocre Shannon Briggs, and now this is after a 2 year layoff even after that. So saying "an MMA rookie beat up a gold medal winning boxer" is true, but not telling the same story. If Kimbo went to Muhammed Ali's house tomorrow and kicked his ass you could make the exact same headline.
A lot of us were a bit narrow minded to not realise that Kimbo could win. In retrospect should have seen this coming. So don't make the same mistake that many boxing fans just made but saying blind generalisations.
