Almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

How good is Kimbo really?? The clips of him that I've seen are against some big lads but none of them are what you would say good skilled fighters. So we get no true measurement there.
He loses to a guy, who if assuming what I've read about him is true, has had a losing fight in the UFC but I haven't found any other records of his fights against anyone of real notoriety. Yet he has 4-1-0 amatuer record, so can we assume he is not quite up to lower level MMA competition either?? I think so.
He maybe tough and a big hitter and has trained but how good is he really?? He wouldn't last 2 seconds against a half decent heavyweight boxer IMHO.

The boxer sticks hard jabs into Kimbo, throughout round 1.
Kimbo eats most of them and is lucky enough to tie up with the boxer...late in the round, trying to land a big body hook, with the boxer getting jarred by it but shakes it off.
Round 2 more of the same. The boxer picks off Kimbo with jabs, as Kimbo tries to time a big counter. Unfortunately, the quick moving boxer is able to circle away from Kimbo's power hand each time. Kimbo starts moving slower; his face is swelling a little from the jabs. The boxer starts using his right hand, landing solidly into Kimbo.
Round 3. Same as above. Kimbo gets frustrated and charges the boxer like a bull, tries to rough him up and lands a few shots on the inside, but the ref separates them. The boxer continues to out maneuver Kimbo, figuring out his movment and making him run into his shots.
Round 4. The damage is visible on Kimbo, but being the big guy he is, he's still on his feet. Kimbo is exhausted and eats some big shots from the boxer, one which sends him slowly back into the ropes. The boxer closes and starts teeing off 7 to 9 punch combinations, with Kimbo trying hard to land a big counter. Kimbo's tired and hurt, but being the bigger and stronger man he's able to stay on his feet.
Ref stops the fight.

Anything could happen, right? I modelled this fight from both the Jones Jr./Ruiz fight and the Holmes/Butterbean fights, where the higher skilled, more athletic fighter is able to play his agame against the larger, stronger one.Last edited by Tom Yum; 02-27-2007, 11:27 PM.

Sounds about right Tom. For a skilled middle or light heavyweight though fighting a big brawler with no gas wouldn't be too hard in a strict boxing match.
I think you mentioned in a previous post you would like to see him face Tank Abbott?? That would be interesting and I'd give it to Tank yet even he's overrated as well. It would be a good match up.
