Kimbo v. Abbot question

TheBigFish · Feb 17, 2008

wasn't this fight last night? I can't seem to find the results anywhere...I know some of you boys must have watched it....would someone who saw it mind posting the results (i.e., who won, and how?).

Many thanks!

Kimbo won in 35 seconds from what a buddy told me as Kimbo knocked his ass out.

You can watch the fight on Youtube

I watched it , Kimbo knocked Abbot down 4 times in 43 seconds before the fight was stopped. It was a joke from the bell being rung. Kimbo looked like a physical specimen , but I still dont buy his hype. Any decent wrestler or sub specialist will take him down and sub him out ... Gannon anyone |??

Thanks guys.

I don't know enough about MMA fighting to opine intelligently on how Kimbo would do against a legit UFC guy, but he sure is interesting; and I would pay to see it if it ever was sanctioned! He can't fight has-beens forever, one would think, so hopefully he'll fight someone good soon.

Tank was owned by Kimbo. Took less than 45 seconds to take that stupid azz grimace off of Tanks face.

Tank is washed up and looked ridiculous against Kimbo. The only shot Tank had was trying to get Kimbo on the ground. He made a couple of ill attempts.

If Kimbo had spent his youth boxing he could have been an excellent boxer - that was his calling.

apparently ken shamrock is fighting i believe march 3 and if he wins there is supposed to be talks of him fighting kimbo next.

Ken or Frank?

fivestarjake · Feb 17, 2008

they were talking about ken last night possibly kimbo's next opponent. frank fights on march 29th.

HatTrick · Feb 17, 2008

Ok cool. Ken should stay retired but that matchup would draw some interest for sure.

It so obvious that Kimbo will eventually have 10 fights and still never had one real MMA fight - in Lesnar's second fight he took on a former UFC champion.

I think Kimbo is a live dog agianst any of these so called "skilled" ufc guys. They call them skilled because most of them are not too athletic.

if they are going to keep putting kimbo up against this kind of competition, it will get old real fast. they have to put him up against decent competiton in order for him to get any respect. how bout this, they obviously know he cant beat a top 5 heavyweight in the ufc or pride, so let him fight lesner. kimbo/lesner would draw a huge ppv (which is what they want) and we can see if kimbo can fight against someone with some skills. if he beats lesner (which i doubt) then pay him what he wants to fight some top guys. btw, fedor beats kimbo in less than a minute...easy

Lesnar and Kimbo make UFC people nervous because they can expose them for the overrated athletes that they really are.

This will never happen - fight won't last 30 seconds - might take several people to get Lesnar off of Kimbo - Kimbo would have a better chance against Nog who is nothing special at takedowns and could get knocked out by Kimbo standing - any wrestler will have Kimbo down in seconds - and then he's just a boxer on his back eating elbows.

Looks like Kimbo made a believer out of Rail.

Come on Rail, you know better than this. Any "MMA specialist" will have no problem avoiding his bombs(punches), and will sub him out once they hit the mat.

I know that you like to mix things up-almost as much as they like to bleed Kimbo for every $ that he's worth, but if you throw him in against some semi top notch competition, he'll tap out-and quickly.

I think we all know that this is the case.
