Kimbo Slice drops Bo Cantrell "Like Names at a Hollywood Party"
Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson is an intimidating son-of-a-bitch. Still, there's no excuse for what happened Saturday night at EliteXC: Renegade. Kimbo's "opponent," Bo Cantrell — a late replacement for the injured Mike Bourke — came into the fight completely psyched out, and after a couple of glancing shots from Kimbo, he dropped to the mat and started tapping for mercy. You have to watch the video to see just how pussified it was:
You know how soldiers can get court-martialed for cowardice? There should be an equivalent in mixed martial arts. I don't want to see Cantrell ever fight again, and he should be required to repay everybody who ordered Showtime specifically to see Kimbo fight but only got 19 seconds worth. For shame, Bo.
In Renegade's lightweight championship match, former pro boxer KJ Noons grabbed a shocking TKO victory over the heavily favored Nick Diaz, shrugging off multiple takedown attempts and landing a sharp knee and some well-placed punches to open up cuts over both of Diaz's eyes. The doctor stopped the fight after the first round, causing Diaz to storm out of the cage and give the finger to everyone in the audience.
As for the rest of the evening's fights, five ended via rear-naked choke in the first round, and only one match made it to round 2:
Jake Shields def. Mike Pyle via submission (rear-naked choke, round 1)
Kyle Noke def. Seth Kleinbeck via TKO (doctor’s stoppage/cut, round 2)
Antonio Silva def. Jonathan Wiezorek via submission (rear-naked choke, round 1)
Geoff Bumstead def. Robert Ruiz via submission (rear-naked choke, round 1)
Yves Edwards def. Nick Gonzalez via submission (rear-naked choke, round 1)
Matt Lucas def. Jon Kirk via unanimous decision
Brett Rogers def. Ralph Kelly via submission (strikes, round 1)
Jae Suk Lim def. Daniel Pineda via submission (rear-naked choke, round 1)

Kimbo Slice vs. brock lesnar! Thats a match i would like to see.
FILMAC Says:
Oh whaaaaa? Kimbo by storm. Loved watching his street fights on Break.com. He's definitely a much better fighter now. Brawn and skill. Oh maaan.
pete f Says:
Kimbo would eat me for lunch, but I would point out that Bo got knocked over by an aggressive ELBOW/forearm to the EAR, not a punch.
So Im thinking Kimbo did get alittle lucky on this fight. Props to the man, however, for being one tough fuck
Gunk Says:
Yeah, he dropped him!? Whatever... I didn't see a single blow. What a cheap arse fight.
escher Says:
it was the rib shot. he didn't even connect with the elbow/forearm. still. Bo=puss.
TEX 0522 Says:
Just remember that white cop Sean Gannon kicked Kimbo's ass in the street fight. Just google Gannon vs Kimbo and watch it's a long fight.
FILMAC Says:
The truth will come out in the wash. We'll see how good Kimbo really is as he fights more. So hard to say. This particular fight was too quick.
The trash Says:
sorry, totally fixed. Kimo right now has more popularity then the other guy, and those in high places want him to continuel. This is one step above WWF
Rizz Says:
This is a joke. Had to be staged to further the company name. MMA fighters are tuff and have a will to fight. You don't tap from a elbow to the ear, an uppercut, or a blow to the ribs. The 1st two would cause you to be disoriented- unable to tap!! This guy tapped out as Kevin was moving down to BEGIN punching him. STAGED!
Matt Wise Says:
Elbow to the ear from a 238-pound man might mess me up, too.
fil-amboy Says:
i say kimbo vs fedor! kimbo will get eaten up alive!
dajoker14 Says:
for his size, 6'2 240lbs i think kimbo is unstoppable. i saw the gannon fight and that guy is about 6'6 280 and hes retired from the military ... and he didnt kick his ass at all it was a long fight that ended in a submission. it would be nice to see someone give kimbo a run for his money in the same weight category.
AUSTIN Says:
TEX 0522
Kimbo VS Sean Gannon was supposed to be punches only..
I think if there were to be a rematch Kimbo would win.
Kimbo was ONLY a backyard brawler.. he never trained in MMA until recently. Sean Gannon was using knees and choking him. Watch it again..
KookieJared Says:
Waste of time and money. Kimbo didnt even connected the "punch". Bo, you are a disgrace...
Jon Says:
To TEX:
There's a ton of dispute that went on about that fight; Kimbo was under the impression that it was a bareknuckle boxing match, while Gannon was using MMA. Basically Kimbo was trying to box and Gannon was going for leg strikes as well. If they fought again after Kimbo's (brief) MMA training, he'd drop Gannon
Fernelity Says:
Looks like Kimbo hits close to as hard as Mike Tyson did way back when
WakeUp Says:
This Kimbo dude hit his opponent with a direct shot to the heart. The guy is lucky he is still alive.
anon Says:
the gannon v kimbo fight had some 'rule' problems and kimbo and company didnt think gannon fought fair and dont consider it anything serious.. i believe kimbo did offer a rematch, but gannon refused... kimbo is a bad mother fucker, you cant deny that
truth Says:
lol. Gannon just outlasted kimbo. Kimbo had no endurance back then and still fucked up Sean Gannon's face BADLY. All Gannon could do was keep him in a headlock the whole fight. Kimbo would molest Gannon now. Please watch the fight again.
wildcat Says:
Yeah I can't wait to see kimbo get dropped in a real match, that gannon v slice video was hardcore.
KimchiBo Says:
that fight looked set up...he took a fall and was tapping his hands so fast i saw smoke.
hate fights that last 5 sec ()
crothers Says:
lol.. fuck sean gannon// he only won because it was when kimbo was just a STREET fighter.. and he gave him knees which were ILLEGAL inthe fight rules.. bullshit... I CALL FOR KIMBO VS. SEAN GANNON REMATCH.. now lets see kimbo with a little training against that stupid cop who probably trains everyday..
Edgun Says:
Kimbo is a good fighter. But until he beats a big name in the MMA scene, I'm not giving him any credit.
crack,u,r Says:
was a forearm thats for sure but who cares its a fight, other crushing body shot kimbo hits likea ton of bricks. brokc lesner and him should fight that'd be epic. as far as the shawn ganon fight yah he lost the war but he just got tired, shawn ganons face well never look the same that for fucking sure
Joe Says:
Kimbo Slice v. Tito Ortiz....i can see it now.
g Says:
its ok, this game is much better
http://game2.mafiadeath.com/r/6003.php
SlideWays Says:
I bet that was a rigged fight.
omg Says:
what u people don't know is that there is a major pressure point where he got hit and im sure it felt like he was almost paralyzed as ive been hit there myself and it feels like instant fire all over your body.
Kimbowho Says:
When is overated-bo gonna fight a real fighter...untill then SHOOSHHH
dude Says:
so fixed
redbullssg Says:
Nick Diaz, there's a class act! I would watch all of his fights if he got clobbered like that every time. I can't stand that butt holio!
Kimbo, I would love to see him do well. I would like to see him in the UFC, but I would have to say that his well known street fighting cred. may hurt him for a career there....
bobonmacok Says:
Gunk your a fucking blind idiot if you didnt see the elbow that knocked that pussy off his feet...
yea the marine dude was a pussy and shit his pants and tapped but your some anon internet fagot who wouldnt climb in the ring with a poodle and that dude who got punked would prob eat your asshole for lunch while you cried to your mother...
but on another note...
Gannon fucked up kimbo... And that huge fucking brazillian they call bigfoot would fuck up kimbo too.. .
T-doT Says:
Definitely a good rib shot, but Cantrell should have stayed in there and at least tried, I know Kimbo did choke out Mercer but that was a pure boxer. For that Gannon fight you have to remember that he was a lot heavier and if you did watch it you can tell had absolutely no ground game, he is now 235 and I watched him train on the ground, no jujitsu black belt but strong and powerful.
BBALLBOY Says:
ur gay.....WRESTLING IS NOT REAL!!!!!dumass. Brock Lesner would get his ass kicked because he is a punk bitch.....FAKE ASS WRESTLERS ARE GAY!!!!
RUDYG Says:
Yeah.. I think Kimbo is awesome, and a Great backyard fighter, but in reality I even think Hoyce Gracie will put him in a submission he wont be able to get out of, he should still fight though, keep representing KIMBO...
co Says:
kimo is a great street fighter but this fight was not real. also please put him up against someone like chuck liddel. or vanlela silva. he would last a minute.
myko Says:
fixed!
Snowy Says:
Kimbo vs. Couture.. i think Kimbo would win =o bring him to the UFC
Snowy Says:
cant have a title shot right away though... how about Gonzaga?
Smith Says:
Kimbo is overrated
Shaggy Says:
Why is everyone still talking about the gannon fight? Kimbo choked Gannon and Gannon choked Kimbo, blah blah blah Kimbo got beat PERIOD. Let's move on a punch to the chest and a elbow to the ear that will hurt you, but to tap out while laying on the ground and the guy hasn't even strted hitting you again that's Bullshit or staged.
greg Says:
check out sean gannon again he tried to fight in ufc and got his ass kicked in the first round by a wrestler...ive never seen him fight again.

Brock Lesnar is an undefeated highschool wrestler, 2 time NCAA champ in college, 4 time All-American, 2 time Big Ben champion, and had a record of 106 wins and 5 losses and has a current MMA record of 1-0
Greg Says:
Kimbo is a good fighter from watching his fights, but if Kimbos bouncers didn't get in the way Gannon would of wopped his ass, its called BACKYARD fighting for a reason, its a street fight in the back yard, its not only just boxing I didn't see no ring, your saying it wasn't fair just because Gannon was winning, and what has Kimbo proved since he's been in MMA, first fight he beat a retired boxer with a half choke not a real one, any real MMA fighter would have gotten out of that, then this one with Bo who tapped out just by looking at him, don't get me wrong I wouldn't doubt Kimbo doing good, but people are saying he's gotten better with the MMA training, how can you say that when we haven't really seen a real fight.
xrevisex Says:
I don't believe Bo wanted to tap. It looks like he took a dive for the sake of Kimbos rep at EliteXC. It's kind of disappointing, but what can you do? No one will think about it twice, if there is no hard evidence, and no one will care because Kimbo is so popular on the internet. All I can say is this, tapping after zero effective punches is kind of weird for someone to do on such a hyped up fight. I still don't understand why they would sign someone like Kimbo, it only adds on to the street fighter style thug image that people have of MMA already. It's a sport, not a street fight.
Greg Says:
Everyone thinks Kimbo is a great MMA fighter, but he just started, in time he will get better, all the one's who think he is a god is trying to match him up next with LIGHT heavyweights, a class he is over 30lbs over, if they want to match him up with someone his own size with experience he needs to fight fighters like Andrei Arlovski or Tim Sylvia
YoMama Says:
Well kimbo should shave his beard. It looks like a blackbear is hanging of his chin.
And i think the beard takes away som impact from punches that get thrown at him.!
TheTank45 Says:
to BBALLBOY
last time i checked Brock Lesnar's Colligiate Record (bigten) was 106 wins to 5 losses. Wrestlers with his strength do well in this sport, Matt Hueghs for example. So before you begin bashing Brock for his employment opportunities with WWE, stop and think about what it means to be a MMA fighter. Anyone who has the heart to train and broaden their skills can make it in the fightgame.
As for Kimbo, I look forward to him progressing in this sport. I hope he can get a legitimate opponet for his next fight.
dreemkill Says:
I dont know about break.com but Kimbo first started on sublimedirectory.com. all you kimbo fans need to go see the vids there of the street fights....this nigs fo real
Jay Says:
Gannon did knee Kimbo, but if you watch closely it was because Kimbo started getting hit and tried to shoot on him; that also was against the rules they agreed upon because yeah, it was striking only.
