Kimbo slice makes network debut

[BDBohnzie]

I caught this the other night, and if I didn't know any better (which I really don't), I'd say that the night was pre-determined for the most part.

The first 2 fights were quick and dirty, and evidence of very little trauma led to stoppages. Carano is not only hot, but she can lay the smack down. You could tell she was a bit rusty early, but then like a light switch, she turned on and just plain beat down her opponent.

The Lawler/Stone fight was a BS stoppage. They should have given him the full 5 minutes to get himself back. Just glad it wasn't beyond the 3rd, at which time they would have gone to the scorecard. Even with the stoppage, this was the fight of the night by far.

Kimbo should dump MMA and go into Butterbean's arena and be the next King of the 4 Round fights. He is nowhere near ready for a match that lasts beyond 2 minutes, and he needs to really get Bas Rutten on his ass and learn some ground skills. As soon as James Thompson got him on the mat, Kimbo had no idea of what to do. If he fights anyone with any gumption, he's going to get his ass handed to him. My wife called it, saying Thompson's ear would explode, and that's how Kimbo would win. Kimbo is a striker, and a damn good one, but he can't really do anything else. If he had stuck to striking, he probably would have taken care of Thompson in the first, but it looked like he was trying to prove too much.

The best part of the broadcast was the fact that they started off the main card with blood all over the mat from previous matches.

I agree, if Kimbo went up against someone with good mat skills he would be done so quick it wouldn't be funny. I also agree about his stamina. When he lost that one fight to that cop from Boston it was because the guy simply wore him out. If Kimbo can't knock someone out, he's not going to win.

Gannon's face so destroyed in that fight. I have no idea how the guy could even gather himself to do anything in that fight.
