The jab by Petruzelli that felled Kimbo is reminiscent to a short jab landed by one of Kimbo's opponents from the Youtube streetfighting videos. A similar punch which put Kimbo to a knee for a brief second before he pummelled the guy. I remember we had a whole thread last year on THAT particular Kimbo video regarding his chin when he got put on a knee from a jab by some bum opponent. Many on here saying he was exposed as having a glass chin even back then while many others didn't really give it much thought. Looks like maybe Kimbo's chin was indeed an issue all along.
Don't know if has been posted...but this CAN'T BE good for ELITE XC... http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_y...?slug=dw-petruzelli100708&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
Petruzelli trying to do a little damage control there.:: First he says they paid him to stand up and brawl, then later he says it was a misunderstanding and that they offered him a bonus for a KO. Whatever! Match fixing going on here?
Even if Petruzelli's Initial Statement IS True, the Fact Remains, he KO'ed Kimbo by STANDING... Kimbo's a Stand-Up BRAWLER & Got WAXED N his Own Element... If Petruzelli LOST a Close Decision & Never 1nce Tried to Take Kimbo to the Ground, THEN this Story would Have Legs to Stand On, but As is, it Doesn't... REED:hammert:
Kimbo's a guy who stands there acting big and scary but really, he's got no striking skills to speak of. Very stationary target with no chin. Imagine this guy in pro boxing. I don't think he'd even be a top 100 boxer. This shows us just how qualified those street bums were whom Kimbo made a living off of. Were you a Kimbo fan, Reed?
Kimbo's STORY is Fascinating, but REED Can't Say he Ever had a ROOTING Interest N the Cat... w/Out Question, REED Made it a Point to Tune In to Kimbo's MMA Bouts, but REED was INDIFFERENT about Kimbo Winning or Losing those Bouts... REED Actually LAUGHED, Watching the Petruzelli Fight... REED:hammert:
What I find even funnier is how those commentators were going ballistic and yelling "WHAT AN UPSET, PETRUZELLI HAS SHOCKED THE WORLD!!!" When really, Petruzelli has been fighting in MMA longer than Kimbo has.:: And what was so 'shocking' about beating Kimbo? He's never done sh*t, never fought anybody worth a crap. Man, the media hype for that Kimbo dude was so unbelievably ridiculous.
agREED.... REED Hasn't Been Watching MMA all that Loooooooong, but the Cantrell "Fight" was the WORST Shit REED's Ever Seen... The Punch that "Dropped" Cantrell DIDN'T Have Much on it, then he TAPPED like a Bitch so Kimbo WOULDN'T hit him Anymore...As a Result, Kimbo has a "Submission" on his Record::... Bo Cantrell's a BIGGER Disgrace to MMA than Kimbo is... REED:hammert:
