Is Kimbo Slice the Real Deal?

[kingofclutch]

Kimbo Slice, who started as a fighter in the streets has now become an incredibly famous MMA fighter. He is famous because of the way he became what he is now and the way he fights, with no fear. He is 3-0 in professional fights and he just beat James Thompson and I saw it. Kimbo won by TKO in the 3rd round. I'm starting to think he is the real deal, what do you guys think? Do you think he has a chance against some elite fighters?

You should watch some of his backyard fights on youtube. The man is brutal!

I wasn't able to watch the fight, but he has an enormous amount of raw power, so he'll do well, but going up against the elite... idk, he needs technique as well, and I don't know if he has that.

You should watch some of his backyard fights on youtube. The man is brutal! Yeah, I've seen all of those. He whooped all of their asses. Did you see the one where he just let the guy punch him? The only problem was that the people he was fighting against didn't have any technique. I wasn't able to watch the fight, but he has an enormous amount of raw power, so he'll do well, but going up against the elite... idk, he needs technique as well, and I don't know if he has that. Yeah I agree. He is starting to get more technique and he is being trained by a great fighter, Bas Rutten.

The only problem was that the people he was fighting against didn't have any technique. That's one thing about Kimbo. I'll give him all the respect he's due, but I see a lot of vids of him fighting guys that are either half his size or sloppy as hell. Just watching them square off, it's easy to see that Kimbo has them outclassed. I want to see more of him fighting worthy opponents, before I judge too much. As far as street fighting, I like Jorge: (Second fighter in video) (Rematch)

[kingofclutch]

Yeah, I've seen that first video, but I didn't see the rematch. That guy didn't look like he had that hard of a punch, but damn is he good at dodging and wearing guys down.

I think Kimbo is the real deal, the fight I saw yesterday versus the Colossus was great (but the tko was kinda crappy), and he proved himself on the ground too, although he was unexperienced.

He also plays in the NBA under the name Baron Davis. You can tell with the big beard/bald on top combo. I mean look at kingofclutch's signature. They look exactly the same.
