What do you think of The Kimbo Slice Thomspon fight.?

Question

First of all, lets be fair James Thompson at one time was a legitimate heavyweight opponent. He does have wins over Don Frye and Dan Severn, granted they were past their prime. However, I do think 40 something Don Frye could whoop Kimbo Slice any day of the week. Let me Know what you think

Answer 1

Thompson has NEVER been a legit Heavyweight.  It went like I thought Kimbo got the better of the punches but couldn't stop JT's sloppy takedowns.  It was odd that JT has been KO'd by one punch so many times and yet Kimbo hit him flush a good bit and never even dropped him.  It was a bad showing to a national audience for first time MMA viewers.  To The World is Mine.... you are an idiot ...I'd elaborate but I'm afraid reasonable dialog would make your head explode.

Answer 2

Honestly I have a feeling it was rigged.  Thompson was pounding Kimbo for over a minute with Kimbo not trying to defend himself, even looking like he was out of it, yet the fight wasnt stopped.  But once Thompsons ear bled the fight was over.  Just seems weird.

Kimbo is great when it comes to punches, but other than that he can't do much. I think he would be better in boxing. He needs to work on his legs more as well, they are too skinny compared to the rest of his body so he is unable to hold his balance when someone is trying to bring him to the floor.

Answer 3

First, lets give Kimbo some credit. He won the fight. He is still a rookie at MMA. He's working his way up. However, the media is  blowing this whole thing out of proportion. Kimbo may become great but right now, the top 10 fighters in the ufc and wec would kick his a s s. The plan is fight some weak a s s fighters right now and get some experience and build his record. Once that happens, then we can judge him better against top fighters.

Answer 4

garbage i wanted to see what all the talk was about.... mma is 4 pussys humping each other on the floor. they fight 4 rounds and are already tired by the second round throwing sissy punches... boxing owns!!! 12 rounds and some arent even tired after 12 rounds real mens sport.

Boxing #1

Answer 5

it was a mockery

Answer 6

Lets give the man his props and stop degrading all of his fights. He is a newcomer to MMA so why would they put someone of Ortiz or Liddel's caliber to fight him? If he continues training with Rutten he will continue to progress and might dominate the sport.

Answer 7

First off, wrong forum.  Second, that bout was staged, you might as well be watching pro wrasslin'.

Answer 8

I just hope this stops people from asking dumb questions like " Kimbo vrs Tyson in their primes, who would win?"
