I agree that if Mercer is in any kind of shape he should beat him.

Kimbo is 2's on. Surely has to be a lay at that price. As stated if Mercer is in any sort of shape and trained properly for the fight then he should win easily.

new jersey athletic commission apparently. seems Kimbo has been training with Bas Rutten. serious stuff. http://www.break.com/index/kimbo-prepares-for-the-big-fight.htmlHe's said he'll still take street fights in the future With UFC working hard on it's image they'd never give him a shot in their cage while he was still doing that. |

Amazingly, Kimbo Slice defeated Ray Mercer in the 1st round via a guillotine choke!!!!

Adam, have you had a chance to see the video of the fight? It only lasts for about a minute. You obviously know your stuff, what do you make of it?

haven't seen it. got a link?
I thought Mercer would win easily if it was the kind of slugfest punch up all Kimbos other fights have been. A pro boxer of Mercers level, even at 40 would have too much power and stamina for Kimbo
I started changing my mind on who would win yesterday when I found out,
a) it was in a cage
b) Kimbo was being coached by Bas Rutten
If Kimbo would clean up his act and publically say if he got a contract with a MMA organisation he'd quit the street fighting then he might get a shot.
Kimbo vs any UFC heavy weight would be a one sided beating though, which is perhaps why he's not being quick to do that

Are we absolutely sure that was Kimbo? my suspition is that was Bas Rutten with a wig and a suntan  seriously though, very impressed. Kimbo did exactly what a skilled MMA fighter would have done against a heavy weight pro boxer. Close distance, Knees and elbow, take down, choke. I take it back, I think Kimbo could do ok in the cage IF he cleans up the street fighting thing. |

Yeah, obviously the guy has ability and its just a case of adapting it to this new style of fighting. For a first fight I don't think it could have went better.
Interesting listening to the commentators saying that Kimbo thought he would be 260 pounds at fight time but trimmed down to 240. 40 pounds less than when he fights on the street seemingly.

That was impressive although he has to finish his opponents off quickly otherwise he is in big trouble due to his lack of stamina.
