What do you think of this fight?
I have Tank winning by tko-ref stoppage after he gets the takedown on kimbo and gnp him on the ground 1min 23 seconds into the first round!
-
I think Tank will win.
-
there you go! at least 2 people supporting tank! ;D
-
My money's on tank , just cause he's old school and has a cool as hell personality!
-
when do they fight?
-
2/16. ;)
-
How many of these threads do you need on this board?
Desperate for new threads to post in?

TEAM TANK BABY! :D

i want to see tank win...but on the other hand i think it would be cooler if kimbo won, therefor dana white would be more likely to give him a ufc fight, then they could put him in there against someone that can really bang like cro cop or gonzaga

kimbo 1st round

Tank is washed up and getting old. He still knows how to punch but his last fights were an embarrassment and his gas tank keeps getting smaller. He's what, 1-7 in his last 8 fights?
Kimbo on the other hand is full of hunger to prove himself, loves to train and is getting better every day, can execute a gameplan and has Bas Rutten as a world class coach. His gas tank seems ok looking at the kind of training he goes through. This is his first "real" test tho.
Experience has told me that the guy that wants it the most and trains that way usually wins(unless completely outclassed), and in this case it's kimbo.
If I were kimbo my gameplan would be to counterpunch and let tank gas. Once he starts gassing, increase the pressure and when he get really tired take him down and mount/gnp or submit him. Slugging it out from the start would be very risky with the knockout ability of tank. Abusing his severe stamina weakness and avoiding his powerful right hand is the way to go.
Either way I can't see this fight going over a single round.

Kimbo will take him down and submit him.

Tank is only in his 40's, he's a young gun still! ;)
His last fights wasn't so bad, he doesn't fight cans. He's not the first guy to get knocked out by Buentello. And Gary Turner is an experienced K-1 fighter. His third most recent fight was against Yoshida (who a few months before lost by split decision to Wanderlei Silva) and he fought him for over 7,5 minutes before getting submitted.
If you don't see it going over one round, gassing shouldn't be much of a problem...
TEAM TANK!

I'll be watching Kimbo beat that ass tonight. Tank is done.
Bluto, If you got so much faith in Tank put your account on the line.

Kimbo never been on the ground. How long he's been training with Bas? 6 months? Not enough.
Tank should be able to take him to the ground, GNP him and have the ref stop it.
Now if Tank decides to bang with Kimbo in the middle of the ring, it could of course end differently.
There's also the risk that the match is fixed to build Kimbo up :-\
-
tank?? ::)
stick a fork in him.
tank was never the type of fighter that was going to have a long shelf life. he's way past the use-by date and is more an embarrassment now than a lively opponent.
yes, he has skills and experience over kimbo, but kimbo has too much of the other stuff that has long left tank.
kimbo by stoppage in first round.
-
Kimbo
-
i'd sa tank has a pretty good shelf life. he's been around since 95. and fought some good fighters.
who kimbo fought? oh yeah he fought "dreads" in a parking lot ::)
-
im with Bluto...Tank got what it takes to beat Kimbo..i just dont know if he will at least try to win Kimbo..i mean, if he trained somewhat for this fight...
on good punch by Tank and its over

he aint been around for some time now.
you're right, kimbo's a novice but, let's be real here, his stand up looks a lot better than tank's, especially lately and you can go 50 50 on ground skills. tank is limited on the ground.
if tank comes to bang (can he do anything else):
power: even
speed: kimbo
stamina: kimbo
technique: kimbo
chin: tank (kimbo's got a good beard but it hasn't been tested yet)
heart: kimbo (at this point in time)
experience:tank
kimbo stops him 1st rnd. what he lacks in experience he makes up for in a great trainer and heart, which tank sorely lacks now.
-
Team Kimbo!
-
im betting on tank.......
-
Kimbo no doubt.
Tank only fights cause thats all he knows...thats what puts the bread on the table. He's only there to make money...so really, he doesn't care about winning IMO.
-
kimbo with the over hand right to Tank's jaw this fight will be over in the first and I think it will be a counter punch. Tank is just gonna throw to slow and get caught on the button.

ha-ha no matter what he does I think he will get caught and have the eyes roll up into the back of his head.
They should have made a bet that the loser has to shave their beard....

hahaha! that would be pure gold.

I can't believe this. That fight suck.

I think Tank will win.
Owned!
Team Kimbo!!!!!!!!!

wow, what a piece of amateuristic refereeing. Those hits to the back of the head really hurt tank. He should've been given time to recover.

yes, agreed, i picked kimbo for 1st rnd stoppage and i'm still just as confidant he would have got it, but that was rank buttsucking ref.
rabbit punches to the back of the head are banned for a very good reason. they are fucking dangerous, but a great way to get your opponent stuck on queer street.
the spot on the back of the head is known in the fight world as the 'sweet spot' aka as the brain stem and can send some pretty mixed up signals to the rest of the body leading to paralysis and is common to cause problems for a fighter for some time after the fight, like days/weeks later.
this is not the first time i've seen kimbo go for this shot. in fact he tried it in his last cage fight.
butts/groin shots/gouging i can deal with but this shit is fucked up. maybe for fans who just want to see violence and kos this seems cool, but it really isn't.
i'm off kimbo and just want to see him get fucked up or fucked out of the game. if bas is behind this, then fuck him too. feed kimbo to a live opponent with some submission/striking skills and i'll get my wish.

Bwahahaha! :D

man, you are nostradamus!!!
;D
tank was never too good, but he was a lot better before...well, the guy is old i guess ....
what a shame. But, congratulations for kimbo!!! the guy is really confident and his stand up technique seemed improved...Im starting to think this guy will get very far on this sport...
:o

I just couldn't see it going any other way. tank throws to wild and looping while Kimbo's punches are much more tight and a lot faster. This was an easy one to call
-
exactly as i called it *yawn* time too feed kimbo to a world class grappler...he'll loss but it will do him a world of good. maybe alexander emilianenko? cummon you know you'd all pay to see that
-
give him mark kerr first.
-
Didn't they mention something last night about one of the shamrocks fighting kimbo next? I think either shammy would go right thru kimbo

Showtime has two alternative views of the fight up now:
