i don't know, but they shouldn't have made him out to be invincible. apparently they believe their ratings are going to be very good when its officially released.

Any chance Kimbo took a dive?

After seeing the clips on youtube, I was about ready to declare shenanigans.

I'm still laughing how that guy was beatin the shite out of Kevin on the ground. Kevin Ferguson can't use the nickname Kimbo Slice anymore after getting whooped like that.

There's no reason for them to want Kimbo to take a dive.

There's reason Kimbo would want Kimbo to take a dive. 10 secs for millions of dollars.

Why fight for 15 mins?

To keep fighting for millions of dollars?

To make plenty of money off of endorsements?

He probably knew he wasn't that great of a fighter and wanted a way out of MMA. He can probably make it bigger in WWE because of his looks. Plus he'll be on TV every week.

Well, technically, there's the old saying that there's always more money in the rematch. If they hype up the rematch for a month, I expect they'll get very good ratings for it.

Not saying the fight was fixed, but there's always that possibility.

I was thinking the same thing. How does a guy who made a living fighting all comers, bare knuckled get knocked out by a 6 inch punch that didn't land flush? I've watched some of the youtube fights that showed him getting hit with some heavy shots....and even dropping his hands and letting the other guys take free shots. How he gets gets KOed by a below average, cross dressing fruit of a fighter is beyond me.

it's that perfectly placed punch you don't see that hurts the most. all it had to do was stunn him and then he started taking shots off the side of his head which usually throws off your equilibrium. he's a can, see ya later kimbo.

I'm not talking about "them" wanting him to do it.

I'm talking about him doing it himself.

And the reason is likely millions of dollars.

Exactly.

I'm not saying he DID take a dive. But after watching it, it didn't even look like the punch landed...it looked like a somewhat grazing blow. And I've seen videos of him taking bare knuckled shots straight to the face and not even flinch.

I'm not saying he did, but it definitely looked kinda shady.

Not enough time to line that up.

All Kimbo/Shamrock bets were voided. The replacement opponent was only finalized about two hours before the fight. New Kimbo/Petroselli(sp?) would take a long time to spread around to make it worth it.

I think you're underestimating Vegas/gamblers/etc.
