BOB SHERIDAN CALLED THE FIGHT :D :D :D
cc #622 looking forward to the watch
.....Kimbo is just trying to be a big fish in a small pond.....he would never have succeeded in boxing
Props to Kimbo for standing there and trading punches I didn't think he would do that....
I'm with WackOff on this one I would really like to see Kimbo stay trained and fit and continue to fight....
mercer is 46 and morrison has aids. You mma guys are really going after some prime boxers to prove your sports superiority let me tell you. ::**
Plus your biggest earner pulls in a whopping 200 grand in his biggest fight while boxers make MILLIONSQuote:

mercer is basically broke and had been kickboxing for a few years
i dont see why some people have to turn it into boxing vs MMA, although i do understand why some boxing fans dislike MMA and why some of the guys who are just following MMA since the UFC got big a few ywears agoi find boxing boring...
this was a good weekend of fights tho, hatton looked nice, kimbo looked good for a guy who had only been training in submissions for a few months, cung le looked fucking unstopable and thee entire strikeforce elitexc card was great
thats due to the structure of the spoprtQuote:

.....I dislike MMA and especially UFC....I mean Joe Rogan.....DOUCHEBAG.....Dana White.....DOUCHEBAG....Tito Ortiz.....DOUCHEBAG.......Chuck Liddell is an idiot too.....watch him teach kids how to punch on youtube it's ridiculous....I honestly wonder WHO he has fought after watching that display of wussiness!
But there are people that like it.....and all I can say is have fun.
The K-1 has some quality competitors and athletes .. much more talent in the K-1 ,not a bad watch !Quote:

Hesitation is a killer in any form of combat fighting, often the result is a bad for the boxer .
I can't believe Mercer is "old" now, apparently he wasnt old enough for you not to pick against him right ??? Regardless a majority of people were picking him to beat Kimbo. He gets propsQuote:

Kimbo is just really a normal fighter but MMA is superiour to boxing in the terms of fighting styles....Ray had nothing to defend against when he was on the ground, atleast learn how to defend against a grappler if you're going into the ring with one because using fists isn't enough.
all i got to say is bring on tyson!
Mercer was an embarrassment . That fat white cop stopped Kimbo but Mercer could barely last a minute before quitting. Lets see Kimbo fight a guy who isnt ancient instead
Yes because that would give you the washed up boxer trifecta: A guy with aids, an old guy thats atleast 10 years removed from his prime and a guy who hasn't been on top of his game since reagen was in office.  ::**Quote:

A 46 year old mercer is no different from the rest of the jobber boxers dana white and others have used as fodder to build up their product.
one thing that must be noted, the last two days the crowds have been amazing
the corwd gave an amazing response to kimbo, and last night the crowd was great for the dtrikeforce card
im gonna pass out now, yo, best part of kimbo fight = bob sherodan ;)
Ray Mercer has know suffered 3 defeats in MMA in a row. I think he's just using it to top up his pension fund. Sadly some people will foolishly think that Kimbo has beaten a legitimate opponent, when that is so clearly not the case.
actually its his first ever MMA fight, the other two losses your thinking of were K1 (kickboxing)Quote:

Let me say this if Kimbo keeps training with Bas Who is a freaking legend.......Kimbo might make some noise in MMA assuming he keeps improving his game....
Sorry I stand corrected ;), not my field of expertise I just watched his fights as preparation for this fight.(He got beaten by the first blow-a kick to the head in the one K1 fight).Quote:

I do enjoy watching Kimbos fights- good internet entertainment :)
I owe you a couple of CCs for thatQuote:

I know Mercer is the same guy that gave Lewis and Holyfield good fights but that was years ago . This was in a different sport years later so it bears no resemblance . Kimbo was a little crude in his attack yet it was more than enough to get the job done vs this version of Ray
cc on the clip.
I see kimbo changed his whole fight game, I was hoping that he was going to try his(LOL)boxing skills like he did in the past.Mercer was never one of my favorite fighters but I hate to see him go out like that.It would be nice if Mercer could coax kimbo into a real boxing match.
THATS DUMB.... ::** Shows how little you know about what you just said, Kimbo lost from exhaustion, yea a loss is a loss but I mean Gannon outweighed Kimbo was taller and caught an absolute beatdown but was better conditioned since he is pro MMA guy.... Theres a big difference between catching a beatdown and getting KO'D or Gassing out.Quote:

if kimbo is going to fight a boxer, do it in a boxing ring. and while hes at it, go find a boxer who's not turning fifty in a few years.
if you want to do mma, start at teh bottom and work your way up against fighters who actually train for mma. he gains no credibility imo choking out ray mercer.
