Kimbo Slice vs. Ray Mercer Fight *VIDEO*
 

Re: Kimbo Slice vs. Ray Mercer Fight *VIDEO*
 

In all honesty, pretty pathetic. I'm glad Slice took some time out to learn some minimal grappling skills, but this was pretty much a set up. Mercer wasn't even a true contender during his hayday, and yet, boxingwise, I think he could have taken Kimbo.

Mercer has long since seen his days as a respectable boxer, and Kimbo has the desire to further a career made out street fighting videos on the internet.

Kimbo will enjoy some press and excitement until he works his way into the real levels of MMA, and still due to knockout power and good amateur level boxing skills has the power to impress. Does he have a legit spot in either of the sports, IMHO no, but the fanfare will be fun.

Wow, after attempting to edit that, and realizing how drunk I am, I'm gonna have to let it slide. Sorry folks, the meaning's there, but it got muddled.

thanks for the video was looking for it. Obv dissapointing

Re: Kimbo Slice vs. Ray Mercer Fight *VIDEO*
 

Man. That was horrible.

I will say that if Kimbo continues the path he is going down he could be a decent fighter. Though like Tommy Morrison I would prefer if his "MMA" (I know Kimbo has fought in other fights but they were not MMA in the least bit) debut was actually against an MMA fighter.

If not, I hope this goes a little bit toward proving the point that if you are just a boxer you will get worked in an MMA fight even against a regular opponent.

lolol that was so terrible... there was a 13 year difference between the two. put me in the octagon with a 7 year old and i'll kick the crap out of him just like kimbo did.

take kimbo vs any of the semifinalists in the ultimate fighter and he'd get pwned

semi? Any memeber of the cast or crew.

Wow, these announcers are so bad it almost makes me thankful that Goldberg works the UFC fights.

And to poster who was talking about the 13 year age difference, it's a factor, but not what ultimately decides a fight. Look at Couture vs. Sylvia.

Jesus, Kimbo is tiny relative to how he looks in the InTheVIP vids.

I'm one of the biggest proponents of mixed martial artist > straight boxer, but this fight doesn't prove anything. You take an old, out of shape, unmotivated ex-boxer and throw him in with a hungry, trained (by Bas Rutten), and more or less in his prime fighter. Of course Kimbo was going to take this fight.

I think Randy is more of the exception rather than the rule.
