At this point i want to see kimbo fight someone decent like Paul Buentello. I feel like kimbo fighting Butterbean is kinda bad for Kimbo. Look everyone who doubts Kimbo thinks his fights have been a joke and for him to fight butterbean would not add to his credability. its time now to fight someone who can give it back....thats buentello:confused02:anyone else agree....
I agree coldcall. Although fighting Butterbean would be a good draw financially probably, it's not going to lend any credability to Kimbo growing as a fighter. I think he should fight Buentello and show everyone what training with Bas has done for him MMA skills.
anyone who thinks butterbean would knock out kimbo is retarded.. kimbo is worlds faster than bean, and would run circles around him while banging, bean wouldnt stand a chance
Then, I will be a retard and go against popular opinion, because I think Butterbean could win this fight...
I do agree that it would not be good for Kimbo to take this fight if he wants to be considered legit, because Butterbean has the label of being a circus act... However, I actualy think Butterbean is a legit fighter. He has a record of 10-5-1 in MMA. He has paid his dues in the ring losing to some good fighters and has that experience, unlike Kimbo. I have heard quite a few shout-outs over the web to match Kimbo up wth James Thompson or Cabbage. Butterbean owns a KO and TKO over them, so are they not legit now???
I won't argue that Butterbean is a one dimensional fighter, even though it is suprising that 6 of his 10 wins are by submission, so he has some idea what goes on on the ground even if the competition was sub-par. Butterbean is a boxer and Kimbo trying to rush him like he did Tank won't fare well. Buterbean hits very hard and you do have to use caution. The only way I see Kimbo winning this is if he commits to a long fight and waits for Butterbean to gas or is able to mount him...
Anyways, now I feel completely weirded out for showing Butterbean love and must go take a shower...
BUT, i dont want to see that fight merely b/c i agreee with everyone when they say kimbo should be fighting paul.. he needs to grow as a fighter and thatd be the perfect fight..
I agree that a fight with Butterbean wouldn't help make Kimbo more legit. What's more, it would be a horrible match up for him. Still, it would draw and it would be entertaining to watch Kimbo get KTFO.
ageed somewhat, kimbo vs butterbean would get alot of people to watch for sure. Again as people have stated it wont help kimbos quest to become a "legit" mma fighter but it woudl be interesting. I would rather see him fight someone who is a more established fighter
I think Kimbo would definitely try and take Butterbean to the ground, because there's no way he'd out-box that tub of goo. Seriously, Butterbean's becoming dangerous, he subbed the ALMIGHTY Zuluzinho.
I'm not convinced about Kimbo's ground game either. He never throws kicks (which is strange seeing as he trains with Bas) which suggests to me that he's nowhere near comfortable down on the ground. He wasn't even fighting grappling specialists, and he was still afraid to even throw leg kicks.
Of course 'bean calls out Kimbo. Kimbo is a gold mine right now. I'm a huge 'bean fan but Kimbo is on his way to a title and doesn't need a fight with 'bean to get there. Any of Kimbo's fights will draw an audience. It would still be a great fight as both men can dish out and take quite a bit of punishment.
Funny how Kimbo called out Chuck Liddell and is a sideshow as well.
Ill tell you the truth, a fight with butterbean would be a close one because there skill or lack there of, is at about the same level. I actually would give the edge to the bean though I dont think Id be shocked if Kimbo won, bottem line is its too big of a risk to fight someone that legitimate before he weasel's his was into a complete beating by Chuck or someone else that brings in money.
Slice could probably kick my ass but he's still just a sham when it comes to MMA and nothing close to a true athlete just a common thug looking for the best way to make a fast buck and use MMA and its ever growing popularity to make that cash before the hype is exposed.
...Ha Ha...This is becoming a cirus around Kimbo. Butterbean is absolutely no match for Kimbo. My God...look how he destroyed Tank in 43 seconds. LMAO...this is a joke!...Kimbo is ready for some real competition after embarrassing the powerful MMA veteran Tank Abbott. Kimbo is for real. Butterbean would have his ass handed to him just as bad a Tank did...end of story
Personally I want Kimbo to fight the biggest and baddest fighters like Butterbean so everyone knows about his punching. Then they will stop throwing people that have had a reputation of knocking people out to stop and he can fight legit fighters.
Haha, you know there's too much love for Kimbo when a win over Blubberbean would be "huge".
