James Thomsons ear was perfectly normal a year or two back when I saw him fight. He must have done some serious grappling for his ear to turn to much like that ! lol
Back to debt collecting for that lad.

I finally got to see the fight! it was on channel 7 but they showed it here in the west coast 3 hours late.
Kimbo lost that fight! they had that fight rig!
They should of ended it in the second round. Kimbo was defensless for atleast 1 and a half minute. James was ground and pounding him, the ref is a bitch he wanted kimbo to win. After the round he was like, ooh the punches weren't really hitting him wtf kinda of ref is that?
James won that plus the stoppage was premature. He got stunned like that numerous times and he didnt even go down. In the second round he was stun the same way but won the round by beating kimbo in the ground.
I think Kimbo lacks heart and that would be his downfall. once he gets taken deep he is done. James is not even that good of a fighter and look at kimba during the interview he look like a defeated fighter.
kimbo was lucky for sure they stage that for him to win. Nobody gave james no chance. I don't think kimbo will be a champion.

Thompson is an underachiever. He did put up a hell of a fight tonight though.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I missed it
Oh well. I'm sure it'll be on youTube in a couple of days.![]()
Hmm it was pretty quick but it did look like a tap. Even Thompson looked at the referee and said something about. It's hard to tell. Maybe he didn't tap and just made a gesture that looked like a tap but either way I find it weird they didn't show a replay of it since they replayed alot of the fight. The commentators quickly said that Kimbo was gesturinng that he was fine but I wouldn't pay much attention to them since the're riding on Kimbos "success".
Kimbo is a joke. A devasting puncher my ass. Thompson has a glass chin and he couldnt drop him. No stamina no heart. Let's see how long the gravy train continues. But yes he was tagging him hard at the end but still a little premature stoppage.
the only reason kimbo wasnt defending was cuz thompson had neutralized his arms, it wasnt like kimbo was too hurt to defend, also thompson wasnt really doing much damage, thats what the ref meant
and i dont think the stoppage was awful, the mans ear had just exploded and he was nearly out on his feet when the ref stepped in
kimbo had a tough fight but he looked off from the beginning, he was moving and punching real slow, bas rutten said online after the fight that kimbo was doing things that he trained not to do everyday, he said maybe kimbo was nervous
Kimbo did just fine..... He went from a backyard bare knuckle fighter last year to fighting pro, even though Thompson isint upper rung, he still is more experienced and skilled. Kimbo used textbook escapes on the ground and his BJJ looked pretty dam good for a novice, he got hung up on the fence a little. Like Sal mentioned his hands were tied up so he couldnt defend but still was tucking his head, Thompson wasnt landing shit but less then pitty patty punches.. Who ever said Kimbo has no heart is a MORON, how dosent he have heart? What a idiotic typical statement made by the usual bunc around here. Did Kimbo give up? Did he quit? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO explain lack of heart to me.
Kimbo is very raw but fought at every range tonite and transitioned well through everything James posed to him.
The stoppage was perfect, bleeding ear, his eyes werent there, I'm sorry but they werent. James showed great heart for getting through the early firestorm. his head was hung up and bobbing around Ala Castillo Vs Coralles. Kimbo gutted out a tough fight, end of

Yea know, I'm def. not an MMA fan, but of course I'm going to watch it if there is nothing else on. That aside, I think they did a very good job of marketing it. Free and live on a major t.v. network. Those early fights were good to watch, but it was disappointing with the stoppage for the eye poke deal. That fight was going better IMO then any other. Was a very good match up.
I'm not familiar with the rules for stop, but it woul;d hgave been a travesty is the dude who poked the eye had won, because it was after 3 rounds. I mean, wouldn't that sort of rule actually encourage eye gouging?
Fact is Kimbo was suppose to win that! the whole event is to hype him up even more. Everybody but James was going to let it happen.
I give props more to James, just cause his ears pop doesn't mean the fight should be stop. Sure he was stunned at the end but he was also stunned numerous times before that and took the round afterwards.
I like Kimbo but thats the second time he wanted to quit and Yes J.T. i said he lack heart. at the second round he was done, he is hype up to be a beast but couldn't get james off him? get the fck out of here with that shyt. He should of rolled his ars like he has done before. But no he just laid there like a let down. He luck the ref was riding on him as well.
James is an easy guy to hit and james has be ktfo before by lesser hype guys, I really expected kimbo to knock him out but clearly. That fight was good but IMO thats not the kimbo they've been hyping up. And look at his interview, he is dead tired and just wanted to end the interview to rest.
I think they need to work on his stamina first before anything else. His going to end up quiting against another james who will take him into deep water. His actually lucky james stamina is awfull too.
What about Carano fighting that other girl that was an awesome fight and the first womens fight on national tv thats some historic shit. Carano would kick kimbos ass. lol
first off.. yes he was stunned at the end, and he was also stunned earlier in the fight.. but in the second round Kimbo nailed him with a solid 5-6 FLUSH shots, and the only reason the fight wasn't over was cause he took kimbo to the ground.. i thought they were going to end it then.. but at the end of the fight, when kimbo was landing those shots, james was out of range to take him down, leaving the ref no choice but to either stop the fight or let kimbo keep tagging him.. that is a fucking EASY call..
and how can you say kimbo couldn't get him off of him.. he did that at least once when james was almost in a full mount..
now, i'm not a huge kimbo fan or anything.. but he definitely won that fight.. i have no question about that.. i do think he has stamina issues and will lose sooner than later.. but to hate on him for his fight last night is absurd..
Do you guys ever wonder why someone like kimbo slice would rather stay in UFC or whatever the hell he is in rather than become a pro boxer and earn ten times as much as he ever would doing what he does now.
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!!
