Re: I just found out I know someone who beat Kimbo Slice
Kimbo was just insanely stronger than Mercer, and more importantly, a LOT younger. You can see that Kimbo's standup was doing nothing to Mercer though...not even the knees. Mercer was just gonna weather the storm and let him blow his wad. Unfortunately, he forgot that Kimbo worked his ground game while he apparently hadn't.
Also, in the Gannon v Kimbo fight, the rules were established as "No kicking and no ground fighting." Kneeing isn't technically kicking (although you could argue either side of that one) and a standing guillotine isn't "ground fighting." Kimbo's team just set up poor rules. Either way, he got his ass beat by somebody who later got destroyed by Hinkle in the UFC.
Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is like a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. I could never say no to a handjob, but which would you rather have?
