50 will danza fight kimbo at internext

Well, first off, that is indeed an old fight. That said, I think I tend to agree with most people that Kimbo does not really have any chance at making it in MMA. He is obviously pretty decent at stand up, but beyond that I have a feeling that he is not very experienced. Add to that the fact that the only reason that he is good at the stand up game is because he has a strong chin and the fact that he is indeed a beast. So I'll give him a punchers chance in this fight, but beyond that he probably doesn't stand much of a chance (look what Couture did to Sylvia or what happened to Cabbage Carrera). I'm not counting on this guy making it too far in the sport. Surely he is mostly on this card to attract viewers rather than to actually make waves in the MMA world. Like someone else already said, a few strong leg kicks will be all it will take to take the wind right out of his sails. Or, his opponent could choose to make Kimbo chase him around the ring for a round or two before taking him down (which is what happended in the fight that he had with the Russian). Either way, a smart fighter with a good game plan should have no problem getting rid of Kimbo.

In my opinion, Kimbo is somewhere in the league of Tank Abbott or Cabbage, although I'd bet either of those guys would TKO him. But to think he'd have a shot in hell with a full contact fighter like a Pedro Rizzo or a Brandon Vera or even a Paul Buentello... not a chance.Comment

As much as I love Kimbo, his street fights are nothing like MMA fights...they are pretty much boxing only, no hitting once they fall on the ground, only seems to go against goofy guys, and I think one of his biggest strengths are his hands. I know that with some training, anyone can develop certain skills but I just don't see him taking MMA by storm. I think that after he fights a while and is exposed to all the different fighting styles, he'll kick ass. Then again, he's fighting Mercer who if I'm not mistaken, is kind of in the same boat so maybe he will be victorious his first fight, who knows?Comment

so are kicks allowed or not because when he caught wind after takin a shot to the gut the guy could have kneed him to death....
Personally its strange that he was the only one using elbows... I think he just got mad that he went down after an average gut punch... so he won by any means necessarry. The cut was most likely from the elbow..

I don't think Kimbo stands a chance in MMA. He can take some hard hits but he's not good enough all around. I've seen very good boxers or guys with only very good ground games get demolished in MMA, because a more well rounded opponent can easily take advantage of your inexperience in an area of fighting. Even focusing strictly on boxing, I wouldn't say Kimbo's a great striker, but he's reasonable. His true skills in the ring remain to be seen so I look forward to seeing him fight Ray Mercer.Comment

Why does everyone think that kimbo stirs up such a debate all the time? Every time someone mentions him in the title of a thread, it gets mad views and multiple page responses.

For those of you doubting Kimbo has a chance in MMA just because he's only got standup, let me point out:
Couture wins HW title over Sylvia with 100% standup
GSP wins WW title from Hughes with 100% standup
Serra wins WW title from GSP with 100% standup
Jackson wins LHW title from Lidell with 100% standup
Silva wins MW title from Franklin with 100% standup
Or how about ...
Koscheck (4-time All-American wrestler) beats Sanchez ... what, 97% standup?
Just examples of how standup is dominating (at least in UFC) right now. Essentially, those that can avoid takedowns and have strong, quick fists are the ones winning.
(I mentioned this maybe 6 months ago and most people here scoffed ... but with each win it's clearer and clearer what the pattern is)
So if Kimbo can stay on his feet, and his power translates well into the ring, sure he has a chance.Comment

i cant say i really agree with your points. just because someone wins on their feet doesnt mean it was 100% standup. alot of that has to do with getting the right shot, your opponent maybe not wanting to go to the ground with you, how you can handle their power vs how they can handle yours.
its not just saying hey i won standing up so its 100% standup and now because kimbo can throw a punch he can stand up and do this or that. and then you end the whole thing by saying, sure he has a chance. well fuck everyone that goes in there has a chance, that doesnt mean he's going to win though.Comment

I think he makes really great points, but there is one variable he's not taking into consideration.
Wrestling skills.
All those guys listed have it. Great wrestling skills gives you the power to keep the fight standing, or to take it to the ground. It's something I know I'm weak in, and working on.

This is why I said before, he'll probably win a few out of pure strength and maybe a little luck. as someone else said, he has a puncher's chance in every fight, however he is not always going to stay up on his feet. as a matter of fact i think he'll have a hard time staying on his feet, from what i've seen it doesn't take a whole lot to get kimbo down. i think this is a big case of kimbo getting talked up before fighting anyone worth talking about...Comment

I don't remember to what extent but I do remember reading that Ray Mercer has some type of amateur wrestling background. That was probably a LONG time ago.
I'm sure both guys are being trained on the ground, but that doesn't mean the fight is ever going to end up there. Some guys are just never comfortable going to the ground no matter how much training they have had there. I have a feeling this will be the case in this fight.
I like Kimbo and I enjoy watching his fights, but I believe his punching power is way overrated. I have never seen one of his fights end on a KO where he just puts a guy to sleep. They usually end on an accumulation of punches and outright fatigue, and that is against total stiffs. Imagine for a second if you had a guy with the concussive power of a Paul Buentello or a Tank Abbot hitting one of Kimbo's opponents with a bare knuckle shot. Do you honestly think they would've woken up yet?
That being said, this isn't the Ray Mercer of even a few years ago. He is 47 and looks to be losing the iron chin he once had. His last couple of boxing fights he hasn't looked good, including getting KO'd his last fight against Shannon Briggs back in 2005, and in his K 1 fight against Remy Bonjasky he took one kick and called it a night. He could still easily drop Kimbo if he connects but time is really catching up with him.
I'm excited to see the fight but both guys are too much of an unknown to make a good prediction. I just hope it is an exciting fight and doesn't give MMA critics an embarrassment to point to.Comment
