Will Kimbo Slice and Ray make any noise June 23? I'm thinking on buying because they are two no nonsense guys, and someone will get hurt. Wow PPV!!! After all my free lengendary street main events........ Your thoughts Fightbeat.com??????
there is a limit to the urban/redneck inspired shite that can be forced down peoples throats kimbo/mercer represents that limit
I think it'll do over 100K buys. You gotta remember, there's a whole lot of internet dumbasses that think beating up crackheads in someone's backyard while some dumbass is taping you, makes you a legitimate badass. And Mercer is so shot, it actually leaves a small opening that he can lose. But still, I think Mercer KO's Kimbo brutally, and I'll watch it for free the next day on YouTube. TFK
The number of people that could would shock you. Any of the old-school British bare-knucklers would take Kimbo. Lenny McClean, Roy Shaw, Bradshaw....Charlie Bronson.

Kimbo is a legitimate badass by any measure that matters. So he's not a world-class fighter. They aren't the same thing.
Actually, I am beyond redemption. Kimbo is black, yes. Mercer likewise. But the loser fucks that film Kimbos beatings and tell a half-dead man "don't quit Kimbo"...they make up the cracker contingent to which I referred. A lot of the UFC and its related organisations are basically glorified Kentucky barn brawls for people that have neither the patience or the intelligence to appreciate boxing for what it is. I mean, look at the weight classes. 170lb Welters? In other words, minimum carnage requirement, no small guys need apply. Real low class.
You guys might think I'm joking when I say this, but I hope Mercer knocks Kimbo Slice on the ground with a huge right hand haymaker and gets on top and just brutalizes him with hammer fist and power punches. I want to see Kimbo in convulsions with a few of his teeth on Mercer's fist. Then I want to see Mercer just stomp the fuck out of Kimbo until his beard is dripping red, and continuing to kick the shit out of Kimbo's skull even when the ref is pulling him off. I'm cracking up just thinking about this right now. ::
dsimon writes: Bamma why such hate for Kimbo? I don't care either way who wins this one. I would imagine Mercer would though. Kimbo found a nitch... it is part hokum, part skill and part absurdity but if he makes a few bucks, nothing wrong with that. The theatrics are first rate even if the fighting is bit below par.
If you don't know the first thing about something, you really shouldn't write about it. It just makes you look dumb. TFK
You don't understand skill and most people who watch MMA also watch boxing so both your points are shit.:notallthere:
dsimon writes: yeah that is true. But Mercer was once damn good. Kimbo is entertaining. I often wondered how they could actually find so many big guys for the Kimbo fights who were so unable to throw a decent punch. That is not easy.
I've watched the UFC, I've listened to the commentators, I've watched the "fans"...and I've made my mind up.:warning: BJ Penn jabbing Sean Hughes into mincemeat before running out of gas, after 5 minutes..... ..as the commentors scream about Hughes innate toughness and Penns boxing talent...
A lot of people who watch boxing also watch Nascar. And Cockfights. And dog racing. Whats your point? When a guy like Penn is throwing treacle-speed jabs, and lands them, and staggers Hughes with them...and the crowd goes nuts and the commentors talk shit...:notallthere: then I feel obliged to draw my conclusions.
Sean Hughes? Like I said, if you don't know the first thing about something, you really shouldn't write about it. TFK
Don't get cute...I made a mistake with his name...oh gosh!!:eeeek: Think I'd do the same with Floyd?? Fucking BJ Pen....jab...Hughes...stagger...crowd goes nuts
I'm not being cute, I'm just pointing out that you're offering an opinion on something you know absolutely nothing about. TFK
Just because he's not an MMA expert doesn't mean he can't form an opinion of it. I watch MMA, but his points are valid.
