I’ve watched the fight many times now and I disagree with most of what everyone is saying. While Thomson closed the second round in control, none of the shots he was landing had much leverage and Kimbo did a moderate job of keeping Thompson close so that the elbows and hammer fists couldn’t do much - that’s why the ref didn’t stop it. Thompson won the 2nd round I felt due to the strong finish. First round when Kimbo was in the guillotine, he gave a “thumbs up” to the ref to let him know he was OK, he did not tap - the announcers saw it ringside and announced it, if you watch the replays it was pretty clear. First round - even. Second round - Thompson. Third round Kimbo pops open Thompson’s ear and land 6 cosecutive bombs unanswered. If the stoppage was premature, it was only premature by 5 - 10 seconds cause Thompson had no answer and was not defending himself. I think the ref did a good job.

Secondly, Kimbo himself says that he has a “long way to go” and “a lot to learn.” You can’t fault him for taking the paychecks, his story is among the most marketable in MMA even though his skills aren’t at the upper echelon. Kimbo and Bas KNOW he is not the best heavyweight or even in the top 10 for that matter, however he is going to take full advantage of his time in the spotlight and work hard to make it last. Just like anyone else would do. I thought the fight showed that Kimbo has some basic ground game principles and is becoming a more well rounded fighter. Overall, I thought the fight was entertaining and even better, it was FREE you ungrateful jackasses!

Speaking of stoppage, the fight should have been called when kimbo was on the ground getting pounded for over a minute without intelligently defending himself. If it were a UFC fight it would have been called then.

Kimbo should have lost that fight hands down. Early stoppage FTL!

@Jeff… you’re absolutely right… we were saying the same thing before the fight. Any logical fighter would have drained that before going into the cage.
Thank god for those awesome WEC fights last night. I slept much better.

At the end of the second round was the funniest thing I have ever seen. The ref didn’t stop it because those ‘’strikes” JT was giving kimbo at the end of the second round had absolutely nothing but the weight of his arm on them. I sleep on pillows that hit harder than that. If the ref stopped it there there would be 100 other people saying it was a ridiculous stoppage. He got his arm out a few times stopping the elbows, jesus christ I could slap you in the face with my dick harder than he was hitting him. I don’t like either fighter, I just know what I saw and that was some god damn love taps. And also if you say it was a ridiculous stoppage then you’re a fucking joke moron because he was rocked and his ear was bleeding like a stuck pig. What do you think he was capable of doing after that? I bet kimbo’s next punch would have put him to sleep.

Ok, now that I’ve seen some real mma thanks to the WEC, I can sleep soundly, but one last bit about Kimbo before I crash.

Nobody has suggested that JT’s ear may have been intentionally filled with blood to create grounds for the stoppage later on. This is a totally baseless accusation. Only thing that makes me say it is the fact that it was so blatantly a health concern and it would have been easy to drain before the fight.

I’ll know if y’all think I’m crazy in the morning. (and oh yeah, Kimbo DIDN’T TAP, don’t waste your time. Kindly refer to the 4 or 5 other reasons that this fight was fixed.)

I don’t hate on Kimbo. He is what he is. The problem is that he was promoted and hyped to be the biggest thing in MMA. hahahah. never, but that’s not Kimbo’s fault. Anyway, the funny thing is that he was created by the internet and hype…and those same things will destroy him. I think that he should go into boxing or toughman competitions or something to that effect.

Anyone else thing that Thompson’s elbows were suspiciously weak while Kimbo was defenseless?

This whole debacle just solidified the legitimacy of the UFC….I will never watch the Elite XC again….Kimbo, Kimbo, Kimbo….what in the world was that crap?!?! that was the weakest thing I have ever seen in my life, James thompson came in looking like he was casted for Chronicles of Narnia and got up out of the makeup chair when they were halfway done with him…all Kimbo had to do was aim for that speed bag on the side of his head and he would have won in the first round…..I think they should have gave JT’s ear a seperate pee test for steroids….it looked like it might have been on the juice….
