Kibo Slice v Josh Thompson next

[southakron314]

Kimbo is like Gatti and Butter bean were to boxing . They just are really good at bringing in fans.

I think because of his background we are all a little too critical of Kimbo.

I guess he should be allowed to develop like any young fighter

yeah, all Gatti fought were 4 rounders.

kimbo is probably the most over-rated and most under-rated fighter alive right now. Personally I think he could step into the UFC and be a top 10 in very sot time. If you can't take him down (which is surely easier said than done cuz he's so flipping strong, AND has two heavy hands that make you re-think the whole shooting in thing) then you're in a world of hurt. His stand-up is already as good as most in mma. The guy can throw em, and he's no swing-for-the-fence scrub like most mma fighters. They are hard, short and accurate.

Oh, you hit the nail on the head there.

I'm not convinced Von.
For me the one thing that mma displays and attracts fans is vesatility. Fighters are adaptable to all environments (wrestling, jiu jitsu etc.) and I don't think Kimbo has that. He might make it to the bridge of the top ten, but once he's there, he'll stop progressing.

The Thompson fight will be a slaughter, he won't make it out of the first minute let alone the first round.

The only thing Thompson brings to the table is an hilarious staredown
