Kimbo v. Shamrock tonight

[TurdFergueson2 5,000+ posts]

MT was the undisputed HW champ and beat all the best at the time. The only thing that beat him was himself. Kimbo is so far from Tyson it's unreal. I honestly can't believe you mentioned them in the same paragraph //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
He got caught because he's inexperienced. He is a HORRIBLE MMA fighter, plain and simple. You have to be able to stand up and have a ground game. He's shown very little of either with the cans they've thrown at him.

One has to wonder why he didn't fight AA that night since he's a HW also???? He would have gotten owned by a much more skilled MMA fighter is why.

His instant fame has no real substance, just some crappy youtube vids and a LOT of hype by EXC.

I'm all for the man making some $$$, but he's nothing more then a "sideshow freak" until he steps into the ring and destroys some REAL fighters. Then he'll deserve the hype he currently gets...

Just for that you're buying the Nate's on Saturday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I don't know, I look back on MT's career and only stand out fight I can see was Spinks. Maybe he just got caught that night. MT to me was 95% intimidation 15% skill. One of my favorite fighters of all time, but Mitch Green, Marvis Frazier (Joe's son whom I met) he had his share of cans too. People dodged him and he dodged people as well.

Again, I will never say that Kimbo was this finely tuned machine capable of turning MMA on it's ear, he is still raw in terms of skill. The sport is always looking for that next big thing. The loss will more than likely not define him if he is truly serious about the sport.

The Nathan's threat was a low blow. Luckily, I know my way around your hood. I can buy a few packs just in case you "forget"

This is ****ing stupid...

Kimbo isnt the first guy Petruzell has knocked out... 9 of 10 were KOs. One of which was in the same mannor...falling back righ hand to jaw.

No investigation is needed...Kimbo rolled to his back arms extended out and wasnt defending himself. Knocked out or not doesnt matter...The ref stopped it just how he should have. Fighter wasnt defending himself.

Here watch this....Plain as day here...

Head snaping punch

Kimbo recovers and tries to get up, but Seth is on top pounding.

Kombo rolls over, left hand extended out to side

Right hand pushing Seth back

NO DEFENSE OR COVER UP! Failure was grounds for calling the fight a TKO.

those articles are not proof of anything. How do you know there real?
Kimbo was just thinking he was gonna knock seth out and then he got caught with a hard one right to the eyebrow. Seth got lucky and he was really scared of kimbo at first when he backed him in the corner. He just got lucky.

Kimbo is not a joke, i don't think he that great but i'm still watching him and looking for improvements along the way. Just because seth got lucky, doesn't make kimbo ****. Seth got lucky and you could tell after the match because he was jumping around like he just won the lottery or something.

I no longer think it was staged, just a dumb move by kimbo and seth got in a good hit

exactly. what a dumb plan trying to rush a fighter youve never seen. Keep a distance for a few and get a feel. Rutten shoudlve advised hes better off looking for a counter.

Here's a couple photoshops I borrowed off Sherdog...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

ESPN had the article as well. I was gonna post it, but I decided not to. This shit reminds me of Tyson/Douglas all over again. No matter how plain as day it is, people still don't want to believe it. I really think Dana White is a jagoff for commenting on fighters not on his roster, but oh well.

Like I said, the loss got more talk than the win ever would have.

I love how everyone in here talks so much smack about Kimdo...
He could probly destroy 99.99 percent of the people on this forum..

That's like bumpin some Xplodes and saying Kicker sucks

But he can't beat 99.99 percent of the REAL HW MMA fighters, and that's his job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

You must not have realized but CA has a very large group of professional MMA fighters.

Tyson was a bull though, maybe not the most skilled, but he could set up the "bolo punch" on anyone and finish them off. So I still consider that a skill, otherwise he'd never have KO'd so many fighters.

Kimbo just hasn't shown anything yet, so until then as Flav would say, "don't believe the hype" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

And I got plenty of Nate's today, so it's all good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You dumb fuk, we're comparing him to MMA FIGHTERS, NOT US. You fail at life for not having any common sense.

 

[BobbyDD 10+ year member]

He could bang with the best of them standing up I promise.You are a sucka for believing that fight wasn't thrown. You'rer probly mad cause you can't fight.

Have a swell day guy
