Tight. I'm glad to see that this is the real deal and that the fight is on. I got a slow internet connection so it would take forever to watch that little clip, so mind explainin what happened at the press conference Duke?
I actually am a little interested to see how this one turns out. It is like a car wreck, you cant stop looking at it.
I'll be pulling for Ray.
Ray's gonna tax that ass like the IRS dunn.
Slice doesnt even impress me street fighting. Ray would beat him on his worst day.
Am I the only one who thinks Kimbo looked nervous?
I mean the way you see him on Video and all that you'd think he'd be loud and making some noise for this fight. If they were smart enough they could easily sell this fight BIG but it don't look like they have a smart promotional team...
I just realized it's the same day as Hatton-JLC.... Really thinking of which fight I should watch? :-\
Mercer is representing the STEELERS! No way he is going to lose the fight now. You have to be the real deal to that.
I cannot imagine this fight going onto the ground. I dont really seek out kimbo fights but I have eseen 4-5 of them including the one he lost. I have a feeling when he fights anyone who has experience it will be trouble for him. He kept saying "on the streets" like its going to give him some credibility. Most of those people he fights are bums but the fact is he's fighting a veteren in a ring...
I don't know, Ray's chin ain't what it used to be.
I hope to GOD Ray KO's this motherfucker......did someone say something about Shannon Briggs in that press confrence??
the breakdown for those of us whos connection is too slow to view (or just didnt want to waste the time)Quote:

Literally that's all he says. Like five times in a row. "We gonna take it to the next level". Then they ask Kimbo some questions and he seems a lot more pissed off and ready to beat on someone than Ray Mercer is. He says he not only wants to beat up Ray but Ray's homeboy, too. He also claims to know Shannon Briggs well and does not intend to stop street fighting in the wake of this MMA/Cage fight with Mercer. He tells the interviewers, "I'm a fighter, someone comes up to me in the street, Im a fight." Sounds like a fun guy to hang out with.
They then ask Mercer how he thinks the fight will go, to which he replies that he thinks it will be mainly boxing, though he is prepared (and is pretty sure that his opponent is also prepared) to go to the ground. Ray also said there will be no judges needed as someone was going out...he just hoped it wasnt him. Bottom line they both agree, that it is a fight and there are no rules (even though there must be some kind of rules, I imagine). Pretty standard stuff. Then someone asks Mercer whether there would be a problem going 5 minute rounds rather than 3 minute rounds. Ray intelligently responds, "What's the difference between 3 minutes and 5 minutes?"
Uhhh...2 minutes? Which is probably what this fight will last and if it goes past that will most likely deteriorate to 2 holding, hugging, hyperventilating out of shape, past their prime fighters flopping about inside a big cage. If big Ray has ANY kind of boxing gifts left from his remarkable career, Kimbo is as good as on ice. But Father Time is a bitch that is good at sucking even the most talented man dry of all his gifts. If this PPV is less than $15.00, I may tune in to find out...
Tape it, watch Hatton-JLC ;)Quote:

If mercer don't take Kimbo lightly = Easy fight for him. (mercer)
going to be a good fight, id rather see them fight kimbo style in a backyard, but its good to see him fight someone with a name, i think murcer will be too tough for him, cant wate!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
i read its considered an exhibition
Kimbo takes alot of shot's to the face in his street fights but I never see him get lumped up, not even against Sean Gannon, his face is made out of leather like Mayorga.
Although I don't rate Kimbo as a boxer...basically because it's apparent that he has very little to NO training...I would love to see him become a heavyweight boxer.
I'd love to see someone train him & turn him into something...but the question would be does he have the will to maintain control in the ring instead of resorting to street wise tactics?

Ditto, I just want to see how he stands against an ex-champ.Quote:

Now mercer is gonna knock his head back to broad st
Having seen the fight, yes its true he got his ass beat, but only after like 10 mins of straight fighting against a guy who knew how to grapple and use knees and shat. Mercer is not a muay thai kickboxer or fukin grappler, so this should be a differnt type of fight, mostly guys throwin hands, thats why its a big deal. Ex-WBO champ Mercer vs. Street fighting champ Kimbo. It's a novelty fight.Quote:

Kimbo's always showing off while beating up guys.
It will be embarassing for boxing if the man who gave Lewis and Evander tough fights gets beaten up by some street fighter and for those reasons I hope Mercer does a number on Kimbo . Another reason is cuz Kimbos been fighting complete bums and his crew all big him up for it . I'd like to see him huimbled the first time he takes on someone who knows what he's doing .
watch the fight then..Quote:

I got an inside tip from an Angel I'd get bet the everything of Jesus. Except down here on Earth, Kimbo is no Jesus.
Mercer has to be compromising something to go in under different rules. In the boxing ring Mercer demolishes Kimbo.
Not sure if this is already posted somewhere but I had no idea this was happening.
Should be great, a faded former world champ and the world's greatest street fighter,
Hope this gets uploaded!
Im sure there are tons of people all over the world who have never been in a real scrap who would beat the shit out of Kimbo in a street fight.. Let alone anyone who actually fights pro, for a living.. The most glorified would have been more accurate I think. Imagine how badly some MMA guys or even current boxers would brutalize the big goon.. Sam Peter, Fedor Emalianko... Yeah I bet Kimbo would just destroy them bare knuckle ::**Quote:
