I believe this as well.

Last I heard Kimbo was training with Bas Rutten, and Bas said Kimbo puts most of his students to shame with his work ethic.
IMO a guy who hits as hard as Kimbo, and then focuses his training enough to get an endorsement like that from "El Guapo" is gonna put Tank into the ground hard.

a younger Tank Abbot had a shot.

The new and improved Kimbo with his dedication to training, and like previously mentioned being mentored by Bas Rutten, Kimbo will destroy him

I think Dana is right that Kimbo would get seriously beat down in the UFC.

That one cop almost beat Kimbo up. I think Tank will take it.

I am not sure I have seen a few of Kimbo's fights and he has the skills to fuck up some people. I am really looking forward to this fight.

That was before he started training in MMA though.

The other dude (Gannon) was actually in the UFC at one point, but got his ass handed to him in there.

Winner : Tank

Tank has lost his last three fights (all first round knockouts or submissions). He isn't really looking that great with a 7 wins / 13 losses record.

Plus he only he's only fought 3 times in the last 3 years. I bet he gets destroyed in the first round.

Tank Abbot was never a good fighter. Just a heavy hitter. He had zero work ethic and even less actual training. He wasnt that great then, and he definitely isnt that great now.

Kimbo, on the other hand is a heavy hitter with a good work ethic, one of the all time greats as a trainer. I think Kimbo will destroy him.

Also, to the people talking about Kimbo based on his internet fight videos...that was just him street fighting. Now he's training and being instructed by Bas Rutten. You really can't compare Kimbo then and Kimbo now.

I always believe Bas over Dana any day, but fighting a very old Tank Abbot will not help his cause. What a joke.

I agree that you can't compare Kimbo then and Kimbo now. However, I think that Tank's experience will show in this fight, but I also think his age will too. Tough one to call.

winner : Kimbo

I think Kimbo will win

Agreed :thumbsup

I think Kimbo will take it

True, I've only seen a pre-trained Kimbo. If he's improved his cardio and all around fighting skills (kicking, ground game), he could very well be a solid MMA fighter.

True, but they're probably easing Kimbo into MMA fighting slowly instead of throwing the former street fighter to the wolves after some formal training. A fight like this will not only build his portfolio, but will give him some sense as to his level of MMA fighting skills.

When is this fight going to happen?

Feb 16th on Showtime.

Kimbo will KO tank in the first round

Alysha and I will be there... got hooked up with awesome ringside seats.

I predict Kimbo wins easily.

I love Tank from the old days.. but he is over the hill.. lost his last few fights and I bet he gets Knocked The Hell Out!

Kimbo takes it by 1st round TKO while Tank gasses out.

TANK IS TOAST. KIMBO is very, very serious about becomin' a qualiy fighter. I think anyone who has only seen the backyard brawls is going to be quite impressed with this fight.

Kimbo will dominate .... bahahahha :winkwink:

Kimbo 1st round KO
