Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott

[HitManSE 10+ year member]

on sherdog.com forums.. bas said that he's never trained any1 like kimbo....he just keeps wanting more n more!! 1 of the best students bas said hes ever had

Guess I missed that on sherdog, but I was thinking that would be kimbos only shortcoming, not to listen to bas. We'll see what happens when kimbo gets a few wins under his belt, I personally think hes gonna let it go to his head and end up crawling back to bas.

Because no matter how bad kimbo is, bas can twist him up and break him apart in a heartbeat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif They're on two entirely different levels and with bas' knowledge, kimbo can go far.

I think Kimbo will continue to win until he fights someone with some real ground skills.

Didn't Kimbo beat Abbott once?

Kimbo should win

1) he's in overall better fighting shape as he has been actively training since last year.

2) he has more standing striking power which is where this fight will take place for the most part, unless Kimbo takes it to the floor in an attempt to showcase his newly added moves, which might not be a good idea.

3) is being trained by Bas Rutten.

4) has height, reach, weight and speed over Tank.

5) has a bigger beard.

plus Tank is kind of washed up, it's like Shamrock fighting anymore...its not a good idea to get your face bashed in at an old age...meh, we'll see...

The beard only counts if you're chuck norris.

Hes still new though, and sometimes pure brawn can win over speed & technique.

Like this one, sapp obviously had less stamina then the other guy but the other guy stood with him. If he kept moving, sapp would have gassed a lot faster. He nearly collapsed at the end of the 1st round. Too bad thats all it took.

Ohhhhhh, it's that fucker, I was confusing him for some other dude that Abbott lost to a while back, like in UFC 60ish, similar name, I can't remember his name though...

I'm going with Tank on this one. He has more experience, a lot more. Most every fight I have seen Kimbo win has been against an ameatur. I don't think Kimbo has ever been hit by somebody as strong as Tank. Either way, it should be a quick, fun fight.
