This is a little history about the famous Kimbo Slice ( Underground street fighter).


Former Heavyweight Boxing Champ to Take on Kimbo Slice

(March 30th, New York City ) “Merciless” Ray Mercer, a former WBO heavyweight boxing champ and gold medalist in the 1988 Olympics, will take on no-knuckle boxing and Internet legend Kimbo Slice in a three-round exhibition bout utilizing professional MMA rules at the Cage Fury Fighting Championship 5 show, said matchmaker Gary Marino today. Dubbed “Brawl at the Hall”, CFFC 5 will take place on June 16th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey .

“I’m very, very excited,” said Marino. “I’ve been working on trying to get Kimbo a fight for the last year. He’s a great draw, and he’s got a huge following for his fights.” Marino added: “Ray Mercer was at the Cage Fury Fighting Championship 3 show and speculated that he’d like to try [MMA], and he called me a couple weeks ago asking me to get him a fight. It’s perfect for both guys, for their style and who they are. Kimbo’s a big banger and so is Mercer.”

Known for their heavy-hands and raw power, this will be the first time either man has fought under full MMA rules �" though Slice purportedly has been training in the sport for some time now at Miami ’s Freestyle Fighting Academy . However, the former boxing champ, who lost his WBO belt to Wladimir Klitschko in 2002 before stepping into the ring for Japan’s K-1 promotion in 2004 and 2005, will likely enter the cage ready to defend the takedown should the need arise. Said Marino: “Ray Mercer told me he has a bit of a wrestling background, and he’s aware Kimbo has been training down in Florida . He’s been talking about MMA for a while now… so he’ll be prepared.”

With this bout, Mercer will become the highest-profile boxer to have taken the MMA plunge. “It’s very, very intriguing. I think it’s a fantastic fight,” said Marino. “Ray Mercer is definitely going to be the hardest hitter Kimbo has ever faced… I think if they both stand in front of each other, someone is definitely going to get knocked out.”

Enjoy all the fights!!!

 

Kimbo's one mean mother f.....

Love watching him, get's me pumped.

 

He's a beast on roids!!!!!

 

Can't wait till Mercer takes him to the ground and pounds him...MMA is a whole different story from street fighting, his promoter/buddy won't be able to step in like he did when gannon slapped the guillatin on him...

 

^^^LMFA^^^ Well see; What happens!!!

 

Ray Mercer will destroy kimbo.......that is not even a match imo......although ray should be almost 50 by now

 

I think Kimbo has a chance on Ray Mercer.

 

if he can get that right upper cut in cuz mercer stands up a lot, but if it goes to the ground, mercer will own him.

 

Here is a preview of the scheduled June 16th.

Great clips!!!

 

Yeah, and when Gannon fought in the UFC he got beat pretty bad, so it ain't looking to good for Kimbo. The only stand-up fighters that do well are the ones that either have excellent take-down defense or they're also good on the ground. Otherwise, they're stand-up is so stifled by worrying about being shot on that they aren't able to work to full capacity. And no matter how good your strinking is, if you're hesitant, you're not going to connect. Or, in the case of Stevenson vs. Guillard last week, you get someone who thinks he's untouchable, goes in swinging for the fences, and gets submitted in the first minute of the first round.

I love watching strikers, but these days you need not just be a good puncher or kicker, but someone who has a great base and can control the distance. I mean, everyone thinks Liddell is just a brawler, but he's not. Besides having the best take-down defense around, he's a counter-fighter. You never see him going in swinging blindly. Everything is set-up, set-up, then flurry.

 

i would not mess wit that **** .. lol.
