Default Kimbo Vs Gannon

Who has heard of this fight?

Kimbo = Streetfighter
Gannon = Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

This underground fight took place a couple of days ago...I'm not going to post a link as you can find it yourself!

Anyone on here in the know?

Yeah saw that and was pretty shocking, especially the way kimbo was taking blows to the face and still owned the guy...his style is purely 'street'

You should have a look at this latest vid...gannon is a MMA champion...he takes a good beating but i think it shows that a professional fighter will rule a street thug IMO

Not much in that, I reckon stamina won over skill. Gannon looked like at the end.

I reckon Kimbo should go home, slap a steak on his face and listen to "eye of the tiger", he'll be fine in the morning.

If you had to face one, which would it be?

You have to remember that Kimbo set the rules. He asked for no takedowns as he knew that Gannon as a professional fighter would kill him on the floor, so it was pretty much stand up boxing. Gannon could have killed him in the first minute if he kept the choke hold on for longer, if it was a no holds barred fight.

Kimbo is in better physical shape but seemed to be bulkier when he fought that other black dude. Also he did run out of puff but that was probably due to the two choke holds.

If I had to face one? Kimbo.
