Title: James Thompson's cauliflower ear
Post by: Mark Kerr on June 02, 2008, 11:08:35 AM
Why didn't James get his ear drained before the fight? On the other hand, JT has the weakest chin in MMA, and he took these punches right on the chin. I question Kimbo's punching power. Kimbo is nothing but hype.

Maybe he thought it was extra padding?

james thompson is a very strong guy snapped my mates leg in training, and he has fought some big named fighters, butterbean, don frye, alexander emilianeko he may get knocked out but these aren't exactly half arsed punchers.  If the fight had continued he would have won.

You have to give it to him.  He fought a much better fight than he usually does.  I know EliteXc was expecting him to run out, take a few shots and go down.  Either he has gotten better or Kimbo isn't as good as they make it out to be.  The answer is probably a combination of the two.

Watch Reality Kings Money Talks a fucking kid who weighs like 160 and is a wannabee gangster from afghanistan gets paid $50 bucks to take a Kimbo punch to the gut. NO GLOVES, the kid told kimbo to screw the glove. HE DIDN"T GO DOWN. He stumbled back and leaned over but never went down and Kimbo cocked that thing back.. SO makes me wonder???

What? They are comparing this guy's punches to Mike Tyson. Kimbo repeatedly punched the guy with the weakest chin in MMA, and couldn't knock him out. ::)

Kimbo is a circus act.

Your right, but are you trying to say that someone who punches with power like Tyson (as they were saying) shouldn't drop a 160 lb iranian. Cmon...

Although Thompson for sure was winning the fight, he was about to be knocked the fck out...
