[quote=“sureshot!,post:20,topic:30641"”] shrug what do i know, he’d probably beat my white bitch ass [/quote] Probably? He’d beat anybody you or I know. Listen, we’ll all find out June 16th when he fights his first MMA fight against former heavyweight extraordinaire Ray Mercer. Yes Ray is old and washed up and probably just collecting $$, but he is a skilled puncher and it will tell us a lot about Kimbo Slice. Kimbo is 7-1, he lost to a Boston Policeman/MMA performer. (He used a guillotine choke and knees which Kimbo said is against street rules). However, Kimbo has been training with a great MMA Academy and Marcos Avelan in Miami. He will be fantastic with stand-up and Ground and Pound, but will definately need to know how to defend against submissions if he wants a career in MMA. He is freakishly strong, but the average lifespan for a barekuckle career probably isn’t that long. So its about time to start using the 4oz gloves, and see what he has in the cage! For those of you that wonder if he can take a punch, watch his backyard brawl with another brother where he lets the guy punch him in the face for free like 2 times. Kimbo is officially scary. ---

[/quote] everyone is entitled to their opinion 🙂 i think his footwork isnt that great, but i’m sure he’d prove he has excellent footwork if he fought most of us, lol and if i fought him mma rules, id sure as hell take him to the ground and get a rear naked pretty quickly as he gives up his back while trying to stand up. striking with someone like that doesnt make much sense, no matter how technical you are- he would be the epitome of a punchers chance, haha ---

[/quote] shitty promotions always put a puncher up against another puncher. look what happened with tommy morrison. they changed the rules 30 mins before the fight so the only thing his opponent could do WAS punch. lol. you don’t pick up bjj in 6 months, hell you dont even learn how to tie your belt in 6 months ( i learned how to tie my belt in 2 months. im a prodigy 😃 ) - as soon as they put kimbo up against a wrestler, it’ll be over pretty quickly. dont get me wrong, i want to see him get in there and knock someone out legitimately, who doesnt love a KO? he also could have been on drugs, which made him immune to pain of concusssion 🙂 ---

Size doesn’t matter, if sureshot has the stamina to get in close, pound his face, then run away, all while not getting hit, he has a shot 🙂 Like I said, look up Fedor Emelianenko. He is NOT a big guy, but I bet could take on any fighter you pit him up against. ---

i know about the size crap, and i know about fedor, im not new to the game. try a single or double on a 170 lb guy and then try it on a 220 lb guy. trust me big difference. ---

speaking of big guys getting in MMA action…anyone see brock lesnar in that K1 fight? He has far more potential than kimbo,especially with him being a former NCAA champ. ---

Just wait for a actual MMA fight with Kimbo. In all his backyard fights he does not allow any holds, submissons, takedowns, knees only punches. That is why he will not last against a “real” MMA fighter. Not some money hungry Mercer. ---
