where is the thread?

and who is watching?

**AKIRA** · 06-23-2007, 09:20 PM

Fuck it is? Better keep close to YouTube and Dailymotion...

I was reading on CNN.com that they were saying that this sort of fight brings the shame back to MMA.

**MCx2** · 06-23-2007, 09:21 PM

Found em.

Guess it hasn't happened yet.

Another live link.

**AKIRA** · 06-23-2007, 10:06 PM

**AKIRA** · 06-24-2007, 10:03 AM

There is the youtube 3 posts up.

Mercer was a former WBO heavyweight champ I believe. His boxing couldn't stop the guillotine.

**AKIRA** · 06-24-2007, 10:24 AM

I read on the other thread that he called out Tank? Now thats a good fight.

**iMan323** · 06-24-2007, 11:53 AM

Fedor will disassemble Kimbo.

They will never fight....

Kimbo has 1 professional fight, why in the world would a fight with Fedor even be considered?

Not to mention Fedor can beat anyone....

**iMan323** · 06-24-2007, 12:10 PM

Fedor is my hero...I just really like seeing him beat up scary looking black guys....can't help it

**BigPapaPump68** · 06-24-2007, 03:48 PM

I went to the fight. If mercer wasn't so old, fat and out of shape, the fight would have been alot better.

**the nut** · 06-24-2007, 06:03 PM

Who trained Mercer? He looked lost.

I'm thinking that Kimbo just entered the bottom of the MMA foodchain. Who's next for Kimbo? It's obvious he wants a few MMA paychecks. He just earned $75,000 for beating up Mercer ...

Realistically speaking Kimbo could fight Tank. Tank's record is like 9-13. Basically Tank hits as hard as anyone (he ko'd Cabbage!!!) but can't fight for shit ... lol and he gases in the first 30 seconds. I'd like to see Tank vs Kimbo.

Sapp vs Kimbo....??

two big black dudes who can thump each other to death...That will be the only way to win, death

**the nut** · 06-25-2007, 10:51 AM

I would think Kimbo needs to beat a MMA heavyweight, before we have any idea what he can do in there. Cro Cop could be an exciting fight, he wouldn't really have to worry about the ground. But, I think Tank would be a good start.

'Cept for when he lands on it in about a short minute to take his nap ...

**MCx2** · 06-25-2007, 06:15 PM

I'm not quite sure I understand the need to throw Kimbo in there against the best, or even the best of the worst (Sapp, Tank) immediately. Let the poor guy get his feet wet in MMA for God's sake. This was his FIRST FIGHT. Sure he was in there against a one dimensional bum, but he showed promise. He had pretty good instincts for the small amount of training he has under his white belt, and I'd like to see him brought along just like any other fighter starting out. It's been a short road for him coming from a thug winning backyard fights, to winning his first MMA fight via guillotine no less. I'd like to see him toss around at least 3-4 more bums THEN perhaps a rematch with Sean Gannon.

Patience people, he's still relatively young in MMA years.

No. I wanna see a Kimbo Slice MMA channel on national cable goddamnit

Reality TV with people getting KTFO by Kimbo in high def. In his spare time he can slap that lil sawed off Igor Vovchanchyn around ... maybe win with an uma plata.

Seriously though ReproBro I was a big fan of Mercer when he first went pro. Don King got a hold of Ray around his 5th match and had him doing a tittle fight by his 9th. It destroyed Mercer's chance to mature as a fighter and ended his career early. He had a shot at being a wealthy guy by now, but instead he has to fight at 46 or starve. Of course King made millions out of Mercer's situation, but does he ever call?

Sooo okay Kimbo needs to fight a chump. Pick one.

Who should the next contestant be on the Slice is right show?

**fUnc17** · 06-25-2007, 07:08 PM

Bas did a good job with KIMBO. He FUCKED him up, end of story. Good job kimbo!!

So basically what you're saying is Kimbo fucked your boy up so we should throw him to the wolves?

What fighter's career did Don King not fuck up is the question. Mercer just got in line with the rest of them, and it's not like Don was selling them something they didn't want, he showed them the money and they took it. If watching what happened to Tyson wasn't clue enough, I don't know what is. Mercer should have done some sleuthing.

Bottom line is Kimbo has the tools to make some noise as a big man. The next Fedor? Not a chance. But the next Tim Sylvia? Maybe.

I just don't see the necessity to toss this guy in against top competition because he is marketable. He's been planted. Give him some Miracle Grow, some water, a little sunlight and step back. Should be pretty fun to see what he can learn with more coaching.

P.S. Mercer won the WBO title in his 17th fight. Defended vs. Morrison, Lost it to Larry Holmes in his 19th. Fought Evander to a UD loss and got robbed of a decision vs. Lennox Lewis. He got TKO'd by W. Klitschko but that was years after his prime in 2001. He had a pretty damn good career.

**Hoglander** · 06-25-2007, 10:09 PM

Tim Sylvia...... LMAO. The guy with the idea of fighting Tank sounds much better, IMHO. Give him someone slow or with little skill is the bottom line so I guess both are of interest. That's fine but give Kimbo a chance and give him Tank.

You're 43 and you failed to comprehend a 10th grade level paragraph. Congrats.

**Hoglander** · 06-25-2007, 10:45 PM

OK, sorry you said "...Tim Sylvia? Maybe. ..." underline "maybe." Sounds like we are on the same page. : )

(Nah man I really do want to see Kimbo succeed. I'm a Kimbo fan ).

I know man I was too lazy to dig up his stats and post real numbers (still am

). I did watch all his fights though. He won that heavy weight tittle when it was still new by beating some guy with an Italian sounding name who never fought a top contenteder. The WBO was still new then, and still sucks now. All the handy work of King.

Can't count Morrison and his glass jaw, though it was a good showing for Mercer with a total destruction of Tommy boy. All the way up to that fight with Holmes he was put in with people he was expected to beat. Guys like Bowe, Tubbs, Thomas, McCall, Biggs all top contenders then and all avoided during his formative years as a pro. Mercer just didn't get his dose of miracle grow.

Mercer fought a lot of lower quality fighters, and a few at the end that were knowns. He didn't get the right fights early in his career like he needed so it went wrong for him at the end when he needed that experience. Those last years were the money years, and he just did not have a solid list of defeated knowns in his stats to earn a big PPV draw so he never got the big money. That is just MHO. Of course ... I could be wrong.

PS ... that Lennox fight was outstanding. It was also a draw from where I saw it, and I was sober that time (if being stoned counts as sober that is).
