Check it! Horrible quality but you can see what went down!

Kimbo learned some new tricks!
-
wow why hasn't this been posted already?
-
I guess Mercer proved boxings "superiority"
-
Kimbo has expanded his fighting skills. They say he trains really hard. He lost a lot of weight for this fight.
-
Load up his bags and send kimbo into the UFC... Where his skills we truly be tested... Mercer is a freaking bum. Kimbo did look like he trained very hard for this fight and made Mercer look dumb as shit...
-
mercer is way past his prime. he hasn't looked after himself and burger king was his training camp.
kimbo does not need to go to ufc to make money at this point and he shouldn't. he is not ready (yet) to take on well rounded fighters with a heart beat.
-
Dude would make a great MLB.
-
Taking nothing away from Kimbo as he does train damn hard, the bottom line is that Kimbo beat an old washed up boxer. This was not a true test of his skills. He couldn't hang with the guys on the lowest rung of the UFC. Bum rush a seasoned fighter and he'll get locked and tapped in three seconds. He needs to keep training with Bas and get some more fights under his belt before he can truly be tested in the UFC.

In all fairness, Mercer was handicapped by the boxing gloves. Those weren't UFC-size gloves. With big gloves and all that padding, Mercer couldn't really hurt Kimbo (who's used to getting hit with brass knuckles) and at the same time, Mercer couldn't defend a takedown or submission without the use of his hands.
But I'm glad Kimbo won. The build-up for Kimbo-Tyson is coming...

true words, but i think it was a very good tactic to bum rush mercer.
even prime mercer always started slow, feeling out, establish the jab. geriatric version of mercer starts slower than molasses and has the work rate of a sloth.
add to that mercer's lack of grappling skills and i reckon bas told kimbo to get on top of him fast.
the thing is, i've never seen kimbo do anything else other than bum rush opponents.
what IS very telling is that kimbo put his head down and ray came very close to accidently putting a choke on him. kimbo, too strong, shrugged him off.
what's the bet that any of the hws from ufc would have been licking his lips right there?
kimbo did very well for his first ring fight and did what he was told to do to near perfection, but people, as usual, get sucked in to the hype game.
i just hope kimbo retains his humility and doesn't get caught up in the attention and start believing his own hype machine.
tyson kimbo would be a great fight and it would be a huge money spinner. tyson had a little more than ray did last time i saw him fight. there are so many ways you can sell this kind of fight and kimbo would make more money fighting tyson than anyone from the ufc.

I am drug-free! Ray Mercer couldn't beat Kimbo and Mercer was world-class. Tyson will fare no better against the unstoppable force that is KIMBO SLICE!

Didn't even notice the gloves. Do you think it would have made that much of a difference if he could use his hands more effectively? From the moment Kimbo rushed him I don't think he had any chance.
For the record, the "No Meds" version of Tyson would kill Kimbo.

Which way?

it sparks your imagination because the way he is presented to you it's a very romantic story of success , coming off the streests , bare hands and all...ok. Now : for the real life ..kimbo is good for 350 lbs dummies with no clue whatsoever. The moment he'll enter the ring with the true profesionals , he'll get an ass whooping he'll never forget.

Mercer came to box
Kimbo came to fight

Have you even looked into this subject? I doubt it.

kimbo fought and defeated a number of good fighters including afro puff (6'5" 300), The Bouncer 6'3" 300, and Rasta (Dreads) 6'0" 240

Those fighters were perhaps good in your eyes...HAHAHA. You know nothing!

looks like a list of solid street fighters to me
you say you could take out any of those beasts? i doubt it "gangbanged man"
-
After seing the fights, yes.
-
The next PPV will be even better. Kimbo vs. Boxcar Willy in a grappling rules only match.
-
kimbo vs tyson, first person to land a solid punch wins period.
-
They should feed Tank Abbot to Kimbo. He isn't ready for Elite XC much less the UFC. He needs to build himself a rep, then go for a payday against a decently skilled fighter. I can't believe Mercer couldn't defend that guillotine. ???

i wonder if they did "north-south" as well.
