Kimbo Slice to fight Ken Shamrock
- Thread starter hamato_yoshii
- Start date
Experience, especially in the ground game for Shamrock, should have him winning this fight. Hopefully Kimbo doesn't land a powerful blow before Shamrock can take him down.
Elitexc lost big on the first show, so they need to make sure they have a name on this card for Kimbo to fight. I really don't nkow how this fight will go. Ken has so much more experience, and will take pride in being the guy to take Kimbo down, but if Kimbo gets one shot in, Ken will probably go down...
It's all about the ratings. The casual MMA fan won't realize Shamrock hasn't had a win since 2004 or that his last 5 fights he was beaten by first round TKO and is DONE as a fighter. But he'll fight because they'll pay and he'll hype it up, Kimbo will look good and they'll keep hyping him up like a 13 year old with his first Oscar yapping to his buddies at the lunch table about his new monster. Kimbo has been BABIED as a fighter.
Same with Gina Carano, they don't want her to lose so instead of having her fight Santos (Like Santos deserves) they put her up against someone she should destroy. It's so freaking lame.
I don't dislike Kimbo nor Gina, in fact I think Gina is awesome. I just wish EliteXC would have some faith in their fighters and not put them up against cans. Kimbo should be fighting Brett Rogers, who deserves it.
A quote from Ben @ Cage Potato to help inform some of how babied Kimbo has been.
"Kimbo’s second EliteXC opponent, Tank Abbott, had lost seven of his past eight fights before stepping into the cage at “Street Certified” in February. James Thompson had lost six of his last eight when he faced Kimbo at “Primetime.” Now, perhaps because Thompson gave Slice more problems than EliteXC had expected, they’re giving him Shamrock, who like Tank, has also lost seven of his last eight. These guys are beyond “jobbers” — they’re woefully unsuccessful."

This must translate to,"Shamrock is washed up!"We all know Shamrock is a legend and all but after being tossed around like a teddy bear twice by Tito and being trashed by that other guy in his last outing,what can he do against this monster?Kimbo may be green and coddled but his big weakness is his lack of ground game as was recently shown,this is Shamrocks only chance.
BOOOOOO !! Boo this fight. I like ken to an extent but when kimbo kills him he'll learn he should have stayed retired. and kimbo will FINALLY move on to someone who will beat him.
Kimbo needs a good fight like a brock lesner, check kongo, frank mir. Not a washed up 40 some year old like ken.
Don't flame me for dissing ken. He WAS a great fighter but his mind hasn't caught up with his body and he still thinks he can hang and it's been proven he can't. Sorry ken but it's time to stay in the corner and coach.
