Hello all! It's been a while, but I'm back to my sports thing. It's actually not THE most fun time to be writing about sports right now, with all of the lock outs and uncertainty in the NFL and NBA, but it makes some other sports topics really juicy. For instance, former street fighter and MMA dud Kimbo Slice is a boxer now! He has his first fight on August 13th, and I'd like to definitely tune into it. I have to admit that it's not a surprise that he has gone the route of pro boxing as opposed to MMA. What was he thinking trying MMA ANYWAY? Bad idea, BAAAD idea. Kimbo did nothing but embarrass himself during most of his short career as a mixed martial artist. His wins were a fluke and his loses were horrendous! But, looking on the bright side, I expect him to do a bit better with boxing, being that street fighting is a lot closer to boxing than MMA. I know that he's a family man and has to put food on the table so I am also glad that he got a chance to make some more money fighting. My one concern? I think he may be too old! He's got to be pushing 40 at this point. I mean, 40 is not old in the global sense of the age, but it's sort of old to start a whole new boxing career and expect to have it last for a while. Okay...I have two concerns, Kimbo fights flatfooted! He's not "quick" and I can see him getting knocked out pretty fast if he doesn't get to his opponent first. Nevertheless, maybe this new addition of Kimbo to the boxing world will lend some rejuvenation into this seemingly dying sport. Good luck Kimbo!
I'm BAAACK! Just like Kimbo Slice
