I’m actually looking forward to it after seeing Kimbo pulverize that last guy he fought. I know a lot of guys on here think Kimbo’s a bum but really it’s only MMA, not boxing, so who knows how far the guy could go.
Probably not to far though, since his boxing-only style leaves him a bit too 1 dimensional.

If they fought in the streets i'd be excited but considering the 2 mma debacles that Kimbo's been involved in so far I don't really care about this fight. Look for Tank to take a dive and collect his money

I said this back when Kimbo was getting ready to fight Mercer, but the guy is training hard and learning. The key is that he already has a fighter's mentality, and he's a genuinely tough guy.
While it's highly unlikely Kimbo ever becomes an elite MMA fighter, it is also highly likely that he will easily destroy bottom of the pickle barrel fighters like Cantrell and Abbott.
To answer the question, yes, I am looking forward to the fight for no other reason than the spectacle. Tank will not be competitive.

Kimbo is even one dimensional for a boxer. However, Tank is just as bad, if not worse.
I'm just waiting for Kimbo/Bob Sapp.

I don't think so. He's being training like a spartan with Bas Rutten. While winging big shots will always be his fortay, he is at least trying to become more rounded.

plus hes a body guard for porn chicks, how cool is that
Is Tank\Kimbo a good fight? Of course not.
But if it gains exposure for EliteXC and helps further the careers of the other fighters on the card, I'm all for it.
I think Kimbo wins by choke within two minutes.

Isn't Tank like 40 by now. He has gotta be around 400lbs too.

Obviously it's a borderline circus type fight, but given the guys involved it might actually turn out to be entertaining for as long as it lasts.

It may not be the prettiest, most technical fight we've seen, but they will come a' swingin!!
Dont think it's showtime. I think it is HDNET Which is a channel that HD subscribers get with their normal service.
The fights are on Showtime.

I am an MMA fan. My favorite fighters are much better than Tank or Kimbo. But this fight is pure entertainment and I'll be watching.:popcorn:
If I was Kimbo. I would try and set up my next fight against Brock Lesnar. I would put my money on Kimbo.
Shit, I would put 20 down on kimbo to beat Tim Silva.:shit:
