Well the beating he got from gannon still runs through his mind. He needs to beat more old past it popular names for fans to buy into more of his fighting hype streek. Im sure casual fans will worship him sooner or later, cause casual means stupid. casual fans = stupid fans, same applies to boxing.

Ken is really pushing it. But, it could turn out like Lesner Mir. He could absorb a beating and then get a submission. Problem is Shamrock turned into a brawler when he used to be a submission guy. He is actually a good sub guy but not so hot standup. He could win but he takes a beating first.

75% chance of Slice winning though.

Also USUALLY the fighters don't pick their own fights. Promoters put it together. While it's obvious he's being built up, it's not his fault. People say things like, pussy, go fight a young guy. He doesn't make the fights.

Yea I watched that Gannon fight quite frequently so i could prove to others who are the "Casual" fans of his that he is not invincible..However, he isn't the same fighter being under Bas Rutens wing of guidence then he was against Gannon...I think he could at least make some noise on an undercard...But if he feels he needs to pound on the useless bodies before he truly gives himself a worthy test then so be it...But the look on his face when he actually fights someone solid will be priceless!!

I'm definitely not calling him a Pussy, i just want to see if he's all he is hyped up to be...Washouts are not the way to go..>IMO

Right, but it's still the promoters fault, not the fighter. Same as his internet fights, he didn't arrange them, he just showed up to fight. Someone else put up the money for both guys and they throw them together to fight.

Usually a fighter wants to take on the best guys and will bite off more than they can chew and it takes someone on the outside to match them well as they grow rather than throw them to the wolves. The fighters don't manage themselves often. But if they do, then you can blame them for fighting a long string of nobodies (cough, cough, RJJ, cough).

Yes, I'd like to see Kimbo fight someone who is in their prime. Not necessarily because I want to see Kimbo get beaten, I just want to see how he'll measure up. I've heard a lot of people tell me he's doing good just starting out, but once he starts fighting some top professional fighters, he probably won't last.

Wonder how Kimbo'd do against FRANK Shamrock...

Frank Shamrock would pull one of Kimbo's limbs off and I am serious, Frank is a friggin legend and can still roll with the best of them

Yes I wish that was who he was fighting instead.

[Koori Warrior]

How about Kimbo Vs Brock Lesnar? That would get a lot of sells on pay tv. 2 Monsters.

[bikersk]

He's only just starting on the pro fight scene, Kimbo that is. He's gotta get past those stepping stone/gate keeper fights before any of the real pro's will be interested in fighting him. The old guys see him as a quick $ fight b/c of his lack of experience and popularity. He'd be a few fights away from a decent fight i reckon if he keeps winning.

[SalTheButcher]

it looks like what they want to do is have the first ever CBS main event be kimbo - shamrock, i think thats a good thing, shamrock is a known name, probably the most well known name in the US among people who dont follow MMA, and kimbo is huge and charismatic, people will be impressed by kimbo, its should be good for EXC


shamrock is fighting in a few hours in the UK for cage rage

[El Gamo]

Good points Sal,from a business point of view it's a very smart move by EXC. I'm going for Kimbo via early ko,too big and strong for Ken,who is a shadow of himself.is skin cuts and bruises easily and he tries to stand and trade when that is not his game.
