I was not impressed with Kimbo at all. Although he has made tremendous improvements since training with Bas and now has some ground game, I felt he should have dominated Thompson. I don't want to say he lacks skill or technique but he certainly resembles more of a street brawler than anything else. I think a good MMA tactician who can dominate on the ground and keep distant between him and Kimbo in standup will dominate. Take away Kimbo's powerful haymakers and he really does not display much, IMO.
