KIMBO=beat

HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex said:
Anyone got a workable vid link?Those pictures look ugly.That dude who won looks like the elephant man.


That's why I say Kimbo got more gassed than beat. Given the rules Kimbo did well until he got tired.
 
beatdown....wonder if he got paid.
 
Just saw the video on page 18 of that thread.Kimbo definitely gassed out at the end,but that dude was more than holding his own with him at the beginning.He was a southpaw,and he dropped kimbo with a straight left hand in one of the first exchanges.It got really ugly after that.But that dude could take a good shot,as he never even looked dazed by any of kimbo's punches,and he was obviously hit hard and often to turn his face into raw hamburger like that.

Oh I definitely don't mean white chocolate wasn't holding his own. He's a professional fighter/cop he was definitely giving and receiving a lot of punishment.
 
Damn that was a long and brutual fight!!

Those two knees to Kimbo's head didn't help much, but it was obvious that he gassed out at the end.

Gannon did look like shit though.
 
lol

i loves me some street fight videos. you have to give the man credit though, he did a pretty good job except he needs cardio worse than tuc
 
wow that was pretty intense. Liked the whole gang banger vs. white country boy thing that was going on with the two fighters and the crowd lol
 
LMAO @ the two HUGE FATASS black dudes....one was carrying a breifcase around the whole time and had a white shirt that said "Team Kimbo" on it, LMFAO
 
was it just my computer or was the video choppy as shit?

he wore kimbo out for sure, but if that's what you gotta do to win, that's what you gotta do. looked like a fair fight to me.
 
white guy has some tiny ass legs
i bet hes embarassed about his calfs... haha i think mine are bigger than his ;P
 
damn, i couldnt work out which of them was uglier - kimbo with his klingonesque head, or that fat elephantitic white guy

anyway, kimbo should have been choked out straight away. the only thing those 2 have on anyone is size, otherwise...theyre ordinary

Nevermind the fact that whitey is a professional mma fighter.
 
you gotta admit one thing, Kimbo's fist do alot of damage, jesus christ, i dont even wanna know what that guys face looked like for the next 2 weeks.

i have buddies that are "professional" mma fighters

3 amateur fights and bam, youre a pro. wow.

that white guy looked like shit, sorry. dont know (and dont care) if it was because it was boxing rules only, but i have seen many guys fight better in real life.

the fight above reminds me of a ring fight around here that featured these 2 really big guys, promoted as "clash of the titans". anyway these 2 guys had huuuuuuge reputations, but the fight was shit. they were lumbering, slow, unfit...the middleweights were much tighter fighters. far more finesse. i got the same impression here.
 
the rules of the fight were that both had to stay on their feet and strike only with their fists. apparently kimbo's peeps changed the rules at the last minute as no doubt they were worried about whitey's MMA skills. it was basically designed to give kimbo a chance. trust me, i was there helping to promote the fight and hand out programs.

i'm willing to bet that had they not limited it to boxing, kimbo wouldn't have lasted as long nor would he have inflicted nearly that much damage on whiteness.
 
Ha! Kimbo gets OWNED by a white boy!

So much for kimbo being all that. a nd to add insult to injury, the white boy is a fatty rolly polly fighter. Definately no bodybuilder or stone cold type build.

Say what you want, but he's on the ground, WHITE NIGGA KNOCKED YOU THE FUCK OUT! BITCH!

Of course a 35 magnum can take 'em both out. hehe.
 
Would you really call it "owned" because of shitty conditioning? Kimbo sure looked like he did more damage.

Last time I checked fights were exactly that, fights, not who has the bigger biceps.

yea but the most important thing is to look good while getting your ass handed to you.
 
Ish said:

This wasn't a fight where Kimbo was sitting in a bar, ran his mouth, pissed some guy off, and got his ass beat because he wasn't in shape to be running his mouth like he was. They both had time to prepare themselves. Kimbo seems to tout himself as a kick ass can't be beaten fighter. he couldn't handle the amount of abuse the other guy could though, and that made all the difference.
 
crew9 said:

Albeit not a very good one. For someone to be a pro MMA fighter, it's as simple as declaring it.

Anywho....from what I understand, there were a fuckload of guys who arose to Kimbo's challenges.......yet this is the latest and only battle to come to fruition???

Both out of shape douche's.

If the fight would have gone to the ground with ANY skilled MMA or otherwise fighter, Pimbone would have been choked out faster than he could spit out " A Ni**er's Got's Ta Eat"
 
I like how his cronies stopped the fight when they KNEW he was about to go done.

Say what you want about the white boy, but he was RESILIANT. There was no way he was gonna go down.

And waht's this and these fucking RULES?? It's a fuckign FIGHT! Bunch of pussies.

He got his ass beat and was going down and everyone saw it. The guy become a punching bag near the end.
 
Wheres the dumbasses who thought Kimbo could fight in the UFC? :FRlol:

Neither fighter had boxing skills worth a shit.
 
i agree. It turned into a full on boxing match, and you clearly saw how Kimbo couldn't box worth shit.

A Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis calibre opponent would've destroyed him.

end of the line Kimdumb. Your 15 seconds are up.
 
Just wanted to clear some things up here since I'm one of Kimbo's dawgs in real life. That fat black dude in the Team Kimbo shirt and the tan leather jacket is Mr. Slice's manager and also my uncle(my mother's side). His name is Sebby Jenkins, but at Thanksgiving and shit we usually just call him S-Perm. It's an old family joke I don't expect you all to get.

I was at the fight except I was wearing a Team Agassi shirt as I'm scouting out Andre's next underground fight and think this Gannon guy might give him a good run. Andre's benching like 330 now and his ground skills have improved by leaps and bounds over the past year. You may have heard me in the background of the video in the beginning shouting "LET'S RUN THIS" and also at the end when Kimbo had been knocked down the second time I was in Kimbo's face telling him that this ain't how a nigga eat.

Expect the Agassi/Gannon fight sometime first quarter '05. We need about 2-3 more months to work on Andre's elbow submission and also have to get the green light from Steffi and then it's fucking on. Provided we run good against Gannon, it's on to St. Louis where we will call pitbullstl out Rocky V style where pitbullstl will be in his favorite bar and I'll show up with Andre and have Andre punch pitbulll's alkie brother-in-law while I talk about respect and glare out of my huge glasses.

If that had been a proper streetfight kimbo would be dead. I love how all his bum boys jump in when he's getting his ass kicked. Wankers.

Jeez Nav, not again...

Did you happen to see Gannon's face after the fight?

Have you ever been put in to a guillotine and experienced what it's like to have your blood cut off from your small pointy head? Kimbo was gassed, then you take away the blood that runs the melon and he was lucky if he was even seeing stars.

Kimbo got beat, I agree with that. Saying he can't "box" is well, just like the rest of the shit you normally say, POINTY-HATTED-DUNCE-LIKE.

What the fuck are you talking about. Kimbo is a good boxer. He has some skill. Of course tyson/holyfield/lewis would destory kimbo they are/were the worlds best boxers. It'd be like me saying," man that highschool team sure is good at basketball but they'd get their asses kicked against the Chicago Bulls of the mid 90s."
 
That was more like hug and kiss instead of fighting lol. It didn't seem like either of them really landed any good punches and eventually succumbed to their pathetic stamina. White dude had a messed up face, but they never focused on Kimbo's face so his face may very well have been mashed as well. It's harder to see wounds on a black person. All in all white dude won because he was tossing Kimbo around like a rag doll at the end. He fought a smarter brawl because he was going for body shots.
 
LOL@crew9

I don't think anyone can honestly say that kimbo isn't a fierce puncher.You don't mangle peoples faces into contorted,contusion-ridden masks like that with pitty pat punches.The last dude he fought in the back yard had that same,elephantitis-like disformation too.Technique isn't the greatest,but the guy has some heavy hands.

Totally agree with this post.If you're going to put out an open challenge like that,then you better be in shape 24/7...When I trained with the Gracie's in Torrance(prior to the UFC)and they had their open challenge,every single one of those instructors was in shape to fight an hour long marathon if necessary,and they took on all comers who walked into that place.Those guys would literally train for hours on end,7 days per week.You had better be in shape if you're hanging out a challenge like that,because there will always be someone there to accept it.
 
1st .......... Kimbo got beat because he was not in top shape, and gannon showed alot of heart and was in better shape !!!

2nd.......... These rules are set up for kimbo perfectly, If he fought a UFC fight he would get killed within the first minute going against those professional fighters !!!

3rd........ Kimbo does have heavy hands and can punch very hard causing alot of damage, no doubt about it !!!

4th....... Pitbullstl, I want to watch this fight, let us all know when and where this is happening, if it ever does

nothing more can be said about this fight, he lost and next time he should come into the fight in better shape

No, he's a lousy fucking boxer, period. As Huck mentioned, he hits hard, and has heavyass hands, but this does not make him a boxer, good or bad. The bigger picture here is Kimbo would destroy "most" people in a fight, but wouldn't stand a chance with anyone with any skills, boxing or otherwise. God forbid it goes to the ground, ol' boy couldn't break a simple joint lock, or neckhold, he'd be choked out in 15 seconds.
 
It wouldn't even have to go the ground as we saw pitbull.The second he got locked into a standing clinch he was in trouble.If those rules weren't in place,Gannon would have guillotined him into slumberville quickly.
 
if you watch the video again, you can see where that white boy made his biggest mistakes...every time things would slow down, Kimbitch would pull his pants back up. i was waiting for the white dude to lay him out when Kimbitch's hands were down. would've been perfect too.

it wouldn't be a dirty punch IMO either. you don't let your gaurd down like that by having to repeatedly pull your pants back up when you're in a fight.

the only reason i'm calling him Kimbitch is because he's got the attitude of a stuck up bitch thinking he's hot shit and no one can take him down. bitch got taken down. he's probably denying that he lost the fight too, or bragging about how much blood was on the white boy's face. no prizes for 2nd place in a competition like that.

from the way things looked when that white dude drove a knee to kimbitch's face, that fight would not of gone on half that length if it wasn't straight boxing. it wasn't necessarily that hard of a blow to the face with the knee (didn't look to be anyway) but you could tell that white dude knew what he was doing.
 
Did you all see how Kimdumb was hiding behind his cronies like a little bitch?

Street-fighting my ass, more like street-fighting with *kimbos* rules.

Fact of the matter is -- he was acting all cocky and offering money on the net to anyone who could kick his ass. Like he's some second coming of some almighty Street Fighter (insert some pathetic sob story of doing it so he can "eat" and help his "gramma"). You knew sooner or later someone would put him in his place.

In the end -- he was nothing more than your average criminal bum with mediocre fighting skills, but one hell of an ugly mug.

Oh well, the drama was fun while it lasted. :)

Hey Xbiker, eat my shorts.

I am not comparing him to trained fighters. The vast majority of people are not train fighters, these are the people I am comparing him to. Compared to most people he IS a good boxer.

Still, no. Compared to most people he is a better fighter, not boxer. I don't want to get into a semantics war with you. I boxed for 8 years, 4 in high school at the Spinks Gym in St. Louis, and another four, more recreational in college. (not to mention mulitple years of varied disciplines off martial arts) Anyone who as any boxing experience formal or not, would wipe the floor with someone like Pimbo. I called him out, I registered on his weak ass discussion board, I e-mailed all three supposed "contacts" :rolleyes: never heard back.....imagine that. I even went a step further, and contacted Joe M***as, who is co-owner of the porn sites that were at one time backing Pimbo. (Joe is a friend of friend in South Beach) They no longer have any affiliation with Pimbo...imagine that.

I've got a lot to lose......(family, business etc.) but nothing infuriates me more than an assclown wannabe toughguy. I don't doubt that Pimbo is tougher than the average guy, but to offer up 15K to anyone who can whoop his Mr.T meets Dr. Spock looking ass, and then not accept any and all challenges smells like BITCH to me. :)
 
man, 3 good hits could have done that to Gannon’s face, who cares. kimbo got his tech from prison, instead of kneeing in the face by instinct like gannon with his training, kimbo probably tries to fuck em in the ass lol.

Kimbo is a bad ass no doubt, but he couldn’t beat any boxing champ, and I doubt would have a chance with anyone in the ufc

Someone post this thread on kimbos homepage lol
http://p214.ezboard.com/fkimbosliceforumfrm9.showMessage?topicID=4.topic
 
From Gannon The Cannon himself:

back from the hospital, thanks for your support
hi everybody, i'm just got back from the hospital, was reading the threads, am touched by the support i've gotten from so many people.

would like to clarify a few points - i don't like being accused of being a cheater, especially by people who don't have a clue what the rules actually were. we originally wanted a no rules match, but kimbos people demanded special rules to protect their fighter. we wrote a (very) short list of rules and both parties signed off on it prior to the fight. they asked for no groundwork and this was agreed to. we never agreed to no submissions, and we can't be held responsible if his team was so ignorant of our sport that they didn't realize you could do submissions standing. same with knees. they asked for no kicks and we agreed. kicks were clearly defined as "striking with any part of the shin or foot". knee strikes were completely legal. i followed the rules to the letter, but kimbos team violated them repeatedly.

http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?t=216603
 
Nothing much else to be said... If Kimbo makes his living fighting ("Thats how a nigga eat") He better get his ass out the door and do some road work, if he had not gotten gassed he could have beat that dude... His boxing skills suck, and he couldn't break free of a standing guillotine choke, not to mention his "shot" on the guy's legs sucked ass too. He has two things going for him, 1-Strong Fucking hands and 2- Head made of concrete nothing more.. Still, it was pretty fun to see him get his ass whooped.
 
I have seen that white guy fight in lacaster ohio for HAVOC. He is a cop and very good fighter. This is how this underground shit started. Internet guys talking shit to each other.

Did you guys see the fight where Kimbo knocked the guys eye out and smashed it? The guy has a glass eye now. It was very brutal.

I have a ton of respect for those guys. MMA is by far the toughest sport in the world.

I agree with you 100% That cop is a really good ground fighter. He has taken out some pretty good kickboxers in NHB very quick.

eh well he didnt look fantastic in that particular fight. fair enough the rules might have been stacked against him in that particular match, and the mob scenes didnt help, but he didnt impress me. (not saying that impressing me means anything by the way)

although i have had the privelige of associating with some fairly good fighters, and lived with one for a while (which is why i have half a clue - not a full clue lol - what im doing) and so my perception is skewed. fairly good means australian/south pacific champs, one guy who was a shoo in for the olympics but destroyed his body with training/injury...that sort of thing

i dont know why that gannon guy didnt finish him off when he had him guillotined, speaks poorly of him imo. shit happens though.
 
I can't belive some comments on Kimbo... Say whatever you want guys but IMHO Kimbo is just an average amateur boxer. That's it. He has some skills but put him against heavy champs (not talking about Tyson but regional champs, amateur olympics) and this guy would look like a fool. He's a street bum, not a street fighter. What about these gay ass rules ? Boxing only but not against the real deal ? I have absolutely no respect for him.
 
Kimbo is shit when you put him up against anyone with any semblance of skill. You have to give Gannon his credit because he was throwing a lot of body shots and they ended up being very effective. Whoever is saying Kimbo is a good boxer doesn't know shit quite frankly.
 
yeah, i dont see what the big deal is. kimbo is like 6"3 250 and boxes people with no gloves, of course he is gonna mess people up, as would any boxer with no gloves
 
could any of you beat him???? doubt it. thats the bottomline....leave all the "any trained pro could whip him" for the "any trained pro's" to say.

"he is very dangerous right now. people have questioned my boxing credentails, but the fact is i've won the gloves 6 times in a row, all open class, never novice. for those that say i came from a "soft area", my region actually had the toughest super-heavyweight division in the country, producing 2 out of 3 of our last olympians (clay-bey and estada), and a very good national champion in between. i also beat the new york champion while winning the Northeast Regional Championship in Lake Placid in '99. people have always that i didn't look good and could never beat so and so, but i never listened, and kept on beating people that were supposed to beat me. i have a classic southpaw "spoiler" style that doesn't look impressive, but the proof is in the pudding...i've won championship after chammpionship. i've fought national champions (US and Russian) and an olympian (estrada), and had competitive fights. i thought that there is no way a guy like kimbo is going to be as good as me. i was wrong, the guy had great boxing skills, he was every bit as good as the national champions i had fought. b4 people get there panties in a bunch, i'm not an armchair strategist, i'm speaking from direct experience, having fought these men, he was that good.

another note for people who don't know boxing, when a fighter uses body punches to weaken an opponent, it's called effective stategy, not kimbo just "gassing out". and the winner of the fight is the guy with his hand in the air, not the guy lying on the ground. i beat him once, with all the rules stacked in his favor, and would gladly fight him again by MY rules (no rules)."

I could dazzle Slimbo with several vicious headbutts to the fist any day of the week.
 
IF KIMBO WAS 12 and i was 12 back in the day i coulda kicked his ass...i was a tough SOB in my pre teen years lol

I don't buy it.....I call bullshit across the board. Not only do I not think Gannon is really typing this shit on a message board, I KNOW, anyone with any real fighting experience (disciplined or not) could pick apart either one of those fighter's techniques within the first 45 seconds of that fight.

But keep the info coming, I'm intrigued. If someone can find out why Pimbo has only had a handful of fights after his almight claim of being able to beat anybody, that would be great, cause I know a handful of people that pursued this to the ninth degree, including myself.

*note to everyone* I'm not attempting to perpetuate some type of internet bravado, I have tried to pursue this, and if someone has a direct line of contact for me, p.m. me pronto.

My wife would so leave if she saw this shit. :)

*edit*

I'm not questioning Gannon's credentials, his skill maybe, credentials no.

its so easy to pick apart technique when your watching a fight, how many guys..even top pros, strategies and technique go to shit when the fgiht actually starts .
 
i have no reason to bad mouth either guy.. it was fun to watch and no one got real hurt

kimbo is a tough bastard and i think he showed a lot of heart..

i thought the rules were decent especially for spectators.. how fun would it have been to watch kimbo punch gannon shoot gannon take his back and choke him.. wow 50 secs and a good laf..this was a nice brawl between two pretty good fighters

A top athlete sticks to protocol. When there are ground rules laid out for a fight...ie: signd contracts etc... then technique is a forethought not an afterthought. Strategy is fluid.... technique, basic or otherwise is not.

I don't buy it.....I call bullshit across the board. Not only do I not think Gannon is really typing this shit on a message board, I KNOW, anyone with any real fighting experience (disciplined or not) could pick apart either one of those fighter's techniques within the first 45 seconds of that fight.

But keep the info coming, I'm intrigued. If someone can find out why Pimbo has only had a handful of fights after his almight claim of being able to beat anybody, that would be great, cause I know a handful of people that pursued this to the ninth degree, including myself.

*edit*

I'm not questioning Gannon's credentials, his skill maybe, credentials no.

Pick a time, pick a place. You and me. ;)

Kimdumb is probably 6 feet even. he isn't 6'3".

The muscle for the Hells Angels SFV Chapter has a good foot on the guy and could EASILY crush Kimdumb in a heartbeat. I've seen him ravage guys much bigger than Kimdumb before. I tried to em Kimdumb's people about it, but they never replied. Go figure..
 
i'd like to see Gannon fight using hands AND feet, since they had rules that it was a boxing match only. i think a lot of people that are sitting here (and on other boards and elsewhere) saying Gannon has "no real skill" might say differently if he was kicking as well as punching. i'd like to see one of Gannon's fights where he is allowed to kick and compare it to his fight with Dumbo. he had to adapt from an "anything goes" style of fighting to a punches only fight. it's obvious the guy can kick good or they wouldn't of made that a rule.

my point is that Gannon can do a lot more than just throw punches. the rules of this fight held him back severely and didn't allow him to show what he's capable of doing to an opponent. everyone saying he has no "real skill" has no ground to justify their statements unless his anything goes fights show that he has no skill, just lands a few lucky shots. think about it before saying that Gannon is an unskilled fighter.

anyone know if Gannon has any other fights on the intera-web?


Kimbo didn't "gas out" and that's why Gannon won. if you (you = anyone that thinks this way) think that Kimbo "gassing out" was the only reason that Gannon won, then i guess you believe that a football team only loses a game because they "gassed out," not because the other team was trained better and played better. in a fight, you've got to have a better offense and defense than the other guy. you've got to be able to take the abuse when you do get hit. you must also have the stamina to go the distance. Dumbo didn't "gas out" and hand the fight to Gannon. Dumbo's abilities in offense, defense, stamina, and ability to take abuse were not as good as Gannon's. that is why he lost, not just because he "gassed out."
