Why Should This Kimbo Guy Be So Hard To Beat???
 

Seriously, all this guy has going for him is the fact that he's huge and throws punches like a bulldozer. Any Martial Artist trained with a considerable amount of skills could evade his punches and ultimately just break his knee and he would be down on the ground. Kimbo is a streetfighter and all he's got are his fists, put any skilled MA'er against him and he should be tapping out soon enough... or am I taking this too lightly?

It also seems to me that this guy fights with a lot of rage, I've always been taught that in these situations you should keep your head clear and focused... this is another thing that any MA'er should be trained in right?

To remove any doubt, I'm not even remotely claiming that I could take Kimbo on... the most damage I could do is bore him to death with some legal blabla :glugglug

Would like to hear some experienced minds on this!

you have rage and rage


only the top fighters can fight in a rage ,

and yes you are taking it too lightly



that gannon dude that "won" was in hospital for quite some time after "winning" from Kimbo , Kimbo was ok , and ready to go the next day ,

I'll bet 50k he could knock me out 1st round.. any takers? Could be a pre fight warm up :winkwink:

why is everyone so obsessed with kimbo?

I tend to agree. Hes tough as hell no doubt. But he got beat in a fist fight against a guy that isnt even a boxer. Any professional middleweight or heavyweight boxer would beat him easy. So why dont people go around posting things like 'oh my fn god evander hollyfield (or any other pro boxer) is the shit'. I think a big part of the mystique is the whole underground thing.

yeh I guess so, but I still think he's kinda overrated. Would not like to be on his bad side though.

what happened to that Gannon guy?

no pro would ever fight him
why risk getting hurt with no big payout and ppv $

I think it's what he did to that one dude's eye.. He beat the shit out of that guy and was impressive in that fight. However I will agree he didn't look as impressive in this last vid.

Where'd you hear that stuff about Gannon being in the hospital? Just curious.

not obsessed, just the talk of the last few days :2 cents:

What does he look like?

I have seriously never seen him.

Who the fuck is Kimbo ??

i think a good part of what makes everyone say kimbo is so bad ass is that its bare knuckle and jus tin some back yard for the hell of it. and the rage, "thats all you got" etc like someone pointed out above. watching a "sterile" boxing match next to that isnt quite the same..

K-1 is better to watch I think... that backyard shit wasn't that amazing to watch although the guy got fucked up good.

[QUOTE=benc]I tend to agree. Hes tough as hell no doubt. But he got beat in a fist fight against a guy that isnt even a boxer.

Who beat Kimbo? Is there a video of this? Kimbo is the inthevip.com dude with the beard that fucked up that guys eye in the video right?

I'm going to ask Ernest Hoost if he wants to fight him, that could be special

How about 10 midgets with nun chucks vs. Kimbo?

Thinking outside of the box here...

I train with guys everyday that could eat Kimbo for lunch. (MMA: Lions Den/AKA fighters) After watching this guy fight some MMA guys I can tell you his cardio isn't near up to par.

good thing you ended your post with your name, almost didn't know who said that for a second...

:1orglaugh

lol yeah habit =P

Gannon knocked him down like 4 times and gannon didnt go down once.... Kimbo = OWNED in that one. However Kimbo also = one of the scarriest mofo's i have ever seen...

I have to agree with you. I remember when Ultimate Fighting first came out and I saw this small Hoyce Gracie dude. I remeber thinking no way he can beat these other huge brawlers. I was pretty wrong, those guys know how to be evasive and use submission holds that even the strongest guys can't deal with.

You said it right, but spelled it wrong. Royce Gracie.

Please do not massacre the name of the man who's family gave me my ground game. :P

you know him personally? Think he could take him down?

[QUOTE=mahoney]here you go

he has power, but no techniques

exactly, I just watched that fight against Gannon. He totally lacks any form of technique and stamina. Put a small quick dude against him and he can totally wear him out and then finish the job after 7 minutes or so.

VAnderlei Silva rules !!!

Any of the Gracie brothers would fight him for sure.

It's all they do, it's how they came to fame. I train with a Rickson Gracie taught instructor and met Mestre Rickson once. While I don't think Rickson would, I know all the other Gracie brothers and cousins and what not would fight him.

Many others out there I think could take Kimbo as well. Although I gotta say, I'd love to see Mike Tyson and Kimbo square off together.

This guy is a monster. Built like a tank and is awesome.

The third guy from the left and the guy at the very end on the right, I'd put ALL my money down that they'd take Kimbo out inside of three rounds, only cause they'd spend the first two playing with him.

I'd never think of going against kimbo, simply cause I train for self defence and ring fighting. Would I run from him, nope, but I don't train to fight like that. The guys I posted do.

do you have any idea where I can download some videos of their fighting skills?

Does kimbo have any big talents?

click on gallery, then scroll all the way down to the bottom and click one of the videos, it's in realtime. Later on, I'll edit some video and post to see these two going at it

nice demonstration but it doesn't really reflect what kind of damage they could do in an actual fight.

He is a natural born fighter

hahahah it's keyboard warrior extravaganza week @ GFY..

Fighting anonymous trolls isnt doing it anymore so let's take it down on kimbo!!


Hell eat you all alive idiots.

Actually. Kimbo isnt even a good boxer... Most pro boxers with a winning record (Middleweight and up) would beat him.. (boxing fight) :2 cents:

r you trying to say you can beat him?

Capoeira? I think it's entertaining to watch but I have yet to see this glorified dancing style knock someone the fuck out.

i want to see a royal rumble. kimbo against 5 muscled men :)

he was only in the hospital because kimbo's internet thug friends kept fucking it up. gannon had him ready to go and out of there in 45 seconds with not much more than a black eye, but all this fake thug friends jumped in and broke it up.

I wouldn't want to be 1 out of those 5

Kimbo is overrated. He's a good barroom brawler but there's no science behind his fight style.

get off his nuts already, his 5 mins of fame are up.

Do a google search for the name "Mestre Hulk" you'll see that he's beaten several well known fighters, including a Gracie.

The object of Capoeira is to make you think it's glorified dancing, but alas, it's not.

gannon waxed the floor with him, lol

you have mad reading skills... not :disgust
