Kimbo: Boxer vs. Brawler

[Tom Yum]

Kimbo showcases his fundamentals in boxing again. Meantime the guy he's fighting is just a scrapper. It doesn't hurt that Kimbo is a solid 260 either.

Kimbo keeps his hands up, picks his shots. He hits the body rt hook, lft hook and then a big left hook upstairs - textbook boxing. The other guy is too tense to throw a solid punch.

PS - yet another reason why you want to wear head gear and mouth guard when you're training.

kimbo needs to stop hanging out with the bangbros and start competing in some boxing matches.

[Garland]

amen. But yet again...what would you do if you had a choice to get paid to **** or fight?

[DickHardman]

well, since i have some dignity i would much rather be a successful boxer/professional fighter instead of being a filthy amateur pornostar who lets all his martial arts skills/fighting ability go to waste and gets some stds, but thats just me.

[Garland]

The guy did some time...he lost out on getting laid for a minute, I think he's just taking some time to catch up on lost opportunities.

[Tom Yum]

Right. Because if there's anything pro fighters are known for, it's the fact that women avoid them like the plague, right?.

I have always been under the impression women flocked to guys simply because they were nice guys.......

Getting paid to fight IS getting paid to ****. Like any pro athlete at the top, women flock to.

I know a young lady who will argue tooth and nail, kicking and screaming against any statement that suggests women persue men for reasons along those lines.....

She can protest and argue all she wants, that isn't going to change the fact that a combination of money, fame and athleticism will attract armies of willing women

No way.....

[Garland]

Oh GOD! Kobe?! LOL!!!

[Garland]

Jack Johnson (the boxer, not the surfer turned shit-rocker)...was a PIMP.

[Tom Yum]

She can argue that it's not why she'd pursue them, but I think Wilt Chamberlain's 10,000 are a good argument to the contrary. For that matter, can anyone say "Kobe?" Jack Johnson? Tommy Morrison?

You could show the Wilt Chamberlain's 10,000 and she would still argue against it...

[Tom Yum]

So what you're saying is that she's mentally detached from reality?

I'm not sure what it is, Mike, but if I mentioned anything along the lines of what we just talked about, it makes her furious. We stopped talking pre-Holidays due to irreconcileable differences.

Back to the Kimbo vid, I noticed he dropped his other hand while throwing hooks. Did you catch that?

Personally I didnt, but I'm sure Paul Buentello would...

Any thoughts on this rumoured fight?

I say Kimbo gets his ass handed to him by Paul.. but who knows.

Kimbo lost to Gannon, whom was in a amateur MMA circuit. The rules of the fight were bare knuckle boxing. Gannon sank a guillotine, (even though illegal according to the rules, Kimbo's corner did not understand the choke) and that pretty much took the wind out of Kimbo, giving him the remainder of the fight.

Most of the guys Kimbo has fought are smaller (he's big afterall) and unskilled. Still he's a hard hitter, presses the action and he's got some workable boxing skills.

It depends on the rules of the fight as to how entertaining it will be, but either way I give it to Buentello on skill, experience and conditioning.

If its an MMA-rules fight (or minimum rules), Buentello is going to beat him pretty quickly.

If its a bare knuckle boxing bout, I'd say Kimbo makes a good showing (as both fighters are not boxers) and is able to demonstrate his power but gets out skilled, out gassed and eventually TKO'd.

I'd like to see Kimbo vs. Tank Abbot.

Tank has always been a litmus test for the better MMA fighters. Those who could beat him were usually proved to be better than average fighters later in their career (Severn, Taktarov, Mo Smith, Kimo etc.).

Both fighters are power hitters and approximately the same size and build. Kimbo is 6'3" and 260. Tank is 6' and 250.

Tank is more experienced in the MMA crowd and has shown some skills in wrestling.

Kimbo is hungry. Under the right management, he could get trained properly and stirred up.

If Kimbo could beat Tank, it would give him a better start to an MMA career and more earnings over time versus fighting Buentello an experienced Veteran who will more than likely win and make him look like another side-show type fighter.

LMFAO, whoever neg. repped me for this thinks I'm a chauvinist. Whoever it was probably has insecurity issues that just won't let them accept reality because there is nothing condescending or degrading in my statement.
