I find it amazing that people arent that aware of things sometimes..

1) Kimbo had never bought into his own hype

2)It was widely known that Kibo's dedication and training habits were on par with the best of them.

3)When it came to the real interviews and not the dark chair fight hype ones, he always said he was a work in progress and had along way to go,he always showed humility.

The guy who KO'd him had 10x the amount of professional fighting experience Slice hadand is a great striker.. Kimbo got clipped, nothing more nothing less, it wasnt like he took a sustained beating for 3 rounds and got pummeled into submission and outclassed...

It seems Kimbo was the only one aware of his standing in the sport as a novice trying to improve.
