Default MMA: Kimbo Vs. Tank Abott match

I would have thought Tank Abott would have at least did a better acting job in this match, because it looked like it was fixed or somethng.


Come on... He could have lasted longer with Kimbo Slice. Here you be the judge


Kimbo Vs. Tank Abott

Never trusted the legitimacy of that sport myself. I'd rather watch boxing although the judging of that sport makes you wonder just as much. At least I can respect the actual fighting more.

Did anyone really think that Tank would actually train? He was just looking for a payday. I don't actually think he cares if he wins or loses. He took some shots for some cash is his view. I do think it is legit, he just was too old at 40 something and wasn't in shape or hadn't trained.

I would not want to fight either........Tank is a bad ass but in terrible shape.....In an ally you cant beat him, in a ring where the other guys are in shape he is done.

Kimbo looks like he would get shredded by a quicker guy that could put him in some kind of submission. Is it just me or does the guy look like he moves in slow motion? He's a gimmick fighter and nothing more, UFC or whatever the hell it is is a glamorized version of WWE with more contact.

kimbo didnt really get his ass kicked, he just ran out of energy, and the video looks pretty old when kimbo was out of shape

What's the deal with George Clinton getting involved with the fight, trying to help Kimbo break the headlock? These backyard fights are so stupid.

You've gotta elaborate, otherwise you just sound like a crackpot.

Not that this board doesn't have it's share of crackpots. I have hunches that certain NBA games were fixed, maybe even some other major sports. But that's it, just some hunches. I'd never compare NBA to pro wrestling, no matter how much I might want to. It just isn't the same thing.
