Its because the guy knows full well for his weight he cannot punch.

Take away his grappling and illegal punches and i guarantee you chris byrd or john luiz would f**k this guy up!!
You think Kimbo is a raw bare knuckle street fighter who got an opportunity. The majority of Pro boxers started when the were 10-13 years old, and most of those young kids dont make it out of the amatuers. Kimbo has no formal training except from Baz Rutten who is an MMA god and been training Kimbo for the past year, Kimbo is 34 years old for Chrise sakes not some 21 year old prospect who's prime is ahead of him..

The ones who say Kimbo should have rolled Thompson, I guess you closed your eyes through his 5 other textbook escapes, James had him in dominant position with his arms trapped, I trained MMA and martial arts for years, Side control while against the cage with your arms trapped is no mans land, you cant shrimp out of that.. James THE EXPERIENCED PRO,couldnt get any leverage on his G&P and was literally chopping kimbo tentatively and slowly with no force....

Kimbo had stamina issues no doubt but his ground technique was textbook for the amount of time he has been training... The difference is Kimbo is humble and dosent buy into his own hype, he knows what he is and is always the 1st to say he has a long way to go, and he has to keep training. he performed like any 2 fight rookie with a year under his belt would perform.
