There's no reason to believe Kimbo is any good.

I'm not saying that he couldn't be "world class". But have we seen what Kimbo's chin is like? Have we ever seen Kimbo on his back?

Not yet. So I really have no reason to believe that Kimbo wants it any more than say Brock, who has just as much experience in the cage he does, or any otherinexperienced fighter in any organization.

Plus, you'd want it like he does if the paycheck were the same. The guy is freakin' headlining televised shows.

The average fighter doesn't have the desire/intensity to train like Kimbo does. Also, most HW's don't have the possess the killer instinct that Kimbo shows he has. I think he has the tools needed to be more than just a brawling-gimmick fighter.

He's too old. And I haven't seen much from him so far. He's fought two gimmick fights and he's about to fight another with Ken Shamrock (itseems). EliteXC is doing a great job building him though.

Question #1) Sort of. In that first video he release on the ionternet where he let the dude sock him

Question #2) That's the million dollar question. He's been training BJJ with Bas for about a year now 5 Days a week. That should be enough time tomake him decent; possibly a good Purple of low Blue belt. If he does fight Ken Sham, at least he's been in the game long enough to know how to targetopponents' weaknesses, and Ken's ground game used to be good. So at least we'll see a good attempt at a takedown and not Tank's %%%%$%attempt.

Really glad I didnt pay to see this fight. Kimbo destroyed Tank. But im pretty excited to see Kimbo fight someone who has skill that isnt 100 years old (unlessis the Natural) lol.

 

[maza4ever14]

nothingtoxic.com has the fight.

 

[demonbasketball04]

All fighters have a weakness. ALL OF THEM.

The key is to be able to exploit it. The power Kimbo has in his hands is a strength that may be hard to get through in order to take him to his back. We'veyet to see if he has any takedown defense also.

First person to come to mind in this type of scenario is Chuck Liddell. He has excellent takedown defense, which makes it difficult for ground fighters toutilize their own strengths. They also risk taking some VERY hard punches everytime they shoot. We've also seen that once he is put on his back, he'shard to keep there, due in part to his wrestling background.




FOR THE RECORD, I am in NO WAY comparing Kimbo as a fighter to Liddell!!!
