Kimbo does not represent the black community. Anderson Silva does and no whiteboy can beat him.

If you say he clearly tapped out in the first round, I think you need to watch it again a few more times, with your eyes open. I’m not Kimbo fan, I think he could be a good fighter but he has a long way to go. Still, he clearly gave a thumbs up to the ref that he was ok because he didn’t want the fight to stop, you can see a shadow between his hand and Thompson’s arm, and Kimbo has his thumb up. You’re blind if you think otherwise.

yo kimbo won the fight if the guy is better than kimbo then why didnt he win the fight…the reason why is that he just didnt have the punching power to stop kimbo, kimbo might not be fit but he won…and that is what matters…you punks

[...] it’s time for me to go watch the rest of the Kimbo Slice video from tv last week. (I hear it’s gruesome, so watch with care!) We didn’t know about it [...]

The referee, like a good referee, had to ask Kimbo if he was ok and that he wasn’t passing out instead of not tapping out, so Kimbo replied with a thumbs up and if you look closely he never even touched James’s arm. If he did tap, James would have obviously reacted, getting mad at the referee like he did at the end of the match, since he wouldn’t wanna lose the match. The hold clearly did nothing to Kimbo. Later on in the second round the ref only let them continue on the ground because Kimbo clearly wasn’t getting hurt, merely confused on what to do as he was still protecting himself, and for the fact that James was still throwing punches, meaning the fight was still in play. Kimbo later on popped James’s ear, which hopefully next time it heals right! lol. James was very wobbly and in serious danger of further more critical damage to his ear. At this point Kimbo was clearly going to be knocked out. When he got angry and had contact with the referee, he clearly was dazed at that point. Kimbo is a fast learner/brawler just like his trainers and everyone else says. Which would result him in not making the same mistake he did when he almost took total control and knocked James out in the second round.

Now, for the record, Kimbo does need a lot more training, but in the short time he has been training he clearly has progresses ALOT from his street fighting days. If he keeps progressing at the rate he is, he clearly could easily beat James in a rematch.

How do you guys think a man giving the thumbs up and saying I am ok is a tap out? You guys are wanting Kimbo to just fall apart in the ring and he is showing people what he can do. He does need some more practice but that guy could have been hurt bad.

People ,kimbo got in mind that he can finish tom in the frist minutes and he go like low profile from what i saw.He let tom to make some stuf /grapling/down fight be he got in mind to finish him with punch’s.The problems for kimbo arrived at the end of the first round when he was out of stamina, but after all he CONTROLED the fight and the impact of tom strikes even when he was down and saved alot of STAMINA when tom hit him with his lbows.He was like a real fighter and keep him at distance and punch him in the second round becouse he knew it wont be a “happy end” for him if tom get him down again and again.As a former kick boxer i can tell you that more important for kimbo to maintain his shape and not lose stamina was to stay down and evade the most powerfull hits but not all ,in fact what he was doin at the end of the first round.Kimbo showed us his skills in jujitsu by drop tom 2 or 3 times when he was on top and that pleased me alot.I say only 2 things for kimbo ( train at high altitude and dont look down at your oponents)

So many more deserving and skilled fighters are losing an opportunity because Kimbo and Josh “the punk” Thompson are stealing their spots.

Not racism…I’m black and I don’t think its racism. Its sensationalism. He’s whats hot and people don’t think he deserves it and he probably doesn’t but to judge him by the standard people are trying to judge him by is dumb. He’s only had 4 fights and they were against bums. Unless Bas brings in a real camp and he can get some real experience he’s not going to improve. The guy is a hell of an athlete but no where near a complete fighter and for people to expect it is stupid. It wasn’t that bad a fight…overall I’ve seen worse events…and without a doubt I’ve seen better. Hopefully Kimbo will get put in with some real comp and get some real experience and will go on to be more than a novelty act, but if not…oh well the sport will go on.

As a black person I urge people to stop saying “Slavery ended a long time ago”…Its insulting and make s you sound like an idiot. Slavery did end in 1865 but was continued in one form or another until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 ended the legal disenfranchisement of “minorities”. Considering that blacks had been legal slaves before there was an America all the way up to 1865 and then subjected to Jim Crow and constant victims of legal Domestic Terrorism and only granted full constitutional protections in 1965…43 years ain’t that long.
