Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
Kimbo (Kevin Ferguson) is entertaining....he has no skills and hes ready to get knocked out sooner rather than later. Will he ever step up his competition and will he ever go more than 4 rounds.....my answer is a BIG NO!!!!
He is 7-0 with 6 stoppages so far.......he nearly got KTFO in his last fight and looked like he needs to stop watching his street fights on Utube and learn to throw a decent jab.....will his people keep feeding him no hopers to extend his unbeaten run to 40-0 38 knock outs before he gets beat....making Kimbo into nothing more than a circus act like Butterbean was......Did Butterbean have more skills than Kimbo and my answer is YES.....any boxer who goes 10 rounds with old Larry gets my vote in skills.......but Butterbean was a ugly fat pug who fought 99% no hopers and the crowd loved it....well most of them did any how!!!!
Kimbo v Butterbean (King of the the 4 rounders)!!!!
Who would win???
Job Biscuit (circus acts get my vote...they DO belong)!!!!
eh eh!!!

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
I don't think he's quite on the level of a Butterbean (LOL).... Butterbean could take a punch for one thing. He could handle getting tagged occasionally by one of the stiffs he fought.
Kimbo nearly got railed by a 6-6 bum. It was like Hagler/Hearns of the tards.

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
All Kimbo has done is bring his streetfighting mania into the ring... the fought fat bums as a streetfighter and as a boxer nothing has changed.
saying all that I enjoyed watching that fight but it will be a short lived career if he ever steps up... I can almost hear Audley harrison shouting him out :-X

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
A circus act that gets more attention that really talented fighters. It's a shame fighters like Slice get more attention than the genuinely promising youngsters who are coming through and deserve to actually have the support they richly deserve.

Exactly, Butterbean would have walked through those shots and for as fat as Butterbean was his stamina was good, he could swing hard the entire fight whereas this dopey kimbo is blowing half way though the first!
Butterbean now would beat kimbo. Mayorga now would beat Kimbo;D

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
Kimbo is more the new Micky Rourke or Mark Gastineau. Minus the mullet or terrifying plastic surgery of course.
-
Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
He will probably move out here to the real circus event, there are no end of ex boxers out here who are now puddings that could relive a spot in a light. Mundine will eventually call him out. :)

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
Kimbo is a popular punching bag for people, but I would argue he does have some skill. He is not completely devoid of any skill as the OP says. I mean its not like he's Brian Sutherland or Tex Cobb's son out there. Kimbo is trained by world class trainer John David Jackson, and displayed pretty good head movement, punching power and heart to come back from being rocked.
He's making the most of what he's got as he did in mma, obviously the man turned to combat sports too late in life to really ever become world class. Add in his previously injured knee from football if I'm not mistaken and he's not going to set the world on fire. Monte Barrett, old Oliver McCall or Jameel McCline would all most likely crush him in a round or so. They WERE world class, Kimbo never will be.
But, does have more boxing skill than most negative posters on here that is for sure. And A LOT more balls.

He showed none of that!
His head movement is non existant or he wouldnt have been caught so many times in just 2 rounds by someone so a fat and out of shape! Kimbo also caught him a fair few times on the chin and couldnt really hurt him, they were both pathetically out of shape and puffing by midway throu the first round! Thats not a world class trainer. The only reason he didnt get finished inside the first 30 seconds is the aussy was knackered already;D

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
Hey guys didn't get to see any of the fights but am glad some of my fellow Novacastrians won, Jamie Pittman and Daniel Amman at super middle and cruiser weight on the under card. Here is the Kimbo slice fight for those who are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsoDq5AsL8A

Fighting a guy who retire more than 16 years ago seems more Butterbean than Holyfield.

Butter bean never claimed to be great, we did that for him and it sorta stuck.
Butter bean deserves credit for what he managed in his career.

He rugby tackled the guy twice to avoid having two knockdowns awarded against him. I've seen statues with more head movement. Butterbean would have slaughtered him.
We all watched the fight though. :)

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
My favorite Butterbean moment was when he fought on the same card as his son.
His son was making his pro debut, having never even fought as an amateur... and he ended up fighting a tougher opponent than his dad LOL (he subsequently got knocked unconscious).

Many good European fighters display less head movement than Kimbo did, but vastly superior skills in every other regard.
I think Butterbean could probably beat Kimbo right now.
And yes we did. Kimbo fights are entertaining.

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
It's fucken funny to think this is the same "BEAST" eating up dudes on the street.
He can't take a shot for shit.
He has to have easily THEE worst chin & THEE worst stamina ever.
Within seconds of throwing punches he's tired and then with the first shot they land he's on fucken queer street.
Have you guys seen his last fight? If you haven't here it is...

Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
Kind of an insult to Butterbean. Like someone said, he did step in the ring with Holmes. He did have some aptitude at a boxer. Kimbo? Maybe if he was younger.
-
Re: Is Kimbo the new Butterbean??
LOL..i actually know more about this than i care to admit... BUT, butterbean could fight, his problem was weight. The guy hits like a fuken ton. Give the guy credit, he's a fat guy that wasn't afraid of getting in the ring with anyone. He eventually would go the distance with the once great Holmes, but homestly... could Kimbo gobe the distance with Holmes?
Butterbean won three national tuff-man contest... sure, it's not real boxing, but it's still impressive. Butterbean has called out Kimbo since Kimbo became a name... Butter would relish the idea of fighting Kimbo and would KO him into tomorrow... that's my take on the whole fiasco..let's not talk about it again...lol
