I was at the fight last night- good time! Elite XC and Kimbo's management (Icey Mike from what I understand) are being very smart at building up his publicity and his popularity fighting some progressively tougher tomato cans on Showtime while he trains, learns more skills and gets ring experience. He isn't ready for a top twenty experienced heavyweight fighter yet who can actually take him down, but if he keeps training with Bas Rutten and takes his cardio and jui jitsu and wrestling seriously he has a good chance to beat some real fighters soon. They said it on Showtime last night- Kimbo puts asses in seats. Hopefully he can keep training and maybe in his next fight he can take on someone more in their prime who is a game fighter that will really test him.
