Kimbo Slice appeared on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” recently to discuss his October 4 bout with Ken Shamrock on CBS. What followed was Tony Kornheiser dragging himself through an interview he clearly didn’t want to do, and Kimbo alternating between statements that are clearly false and those that are merely very questionable.
On complaints from hardcore fans who criticize him for being “unproven”:
“[Expletive] it. That means they need to step up to the plate, we fight, so I can be proven, like I am street certified.”
On whether his credibility was damaged when he struggled to defeat James Thompson:
“To a lot of people James Thompson was elite. He fought in Pancrase over in Japan. …James is a well-rounded fighter, man. He has a good chin. [ed. note: really?]“
On whether he deserves his celebrity status:
“I never consider myself a celebrity. Celebrities don’t go to K-Mart. Celebrities don’t eat at McDonald’s. Celebrities don’t go to Wal-Mart. I don’t consider myself a celebrity. I’m just a little squirrel in this big world and I’m still trying to get my nut.”
‘Nuff said.


ANYBODY CAN GET A LUCKY PUNCH WHEN THEY’RE SCARED AND THROWING JABS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN BACKING UP TO THE GATE ,THAT’S ALL THE NO NAME PINK HAIR GUY DID AGAINST KIMBO SLICE AND HE GOT LUCKY. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, JUST BECAUSE KIMBO GOT A FAST START IN HIS CAREER BUY USING YOU TUBE WHICH WAS VERY SMART OF HIM, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT SHOWING HIM THE LOVE OR RESPECT HE DESERVES. WHEN HE RECEIVES AND GETS A REMATCH WITH PINK HAIR DUDE AND DEFEATS HIM, WHAT WILL YOU SAY THEN? KIMBO’S CAREER HAS NOT YET ENDED IT HAS JUST BEGAN. THIS LOST WILL ONLY MAKE HIM STRONGER. I LIKE KIMBO , HE NEEDED TO LOSE ONE FIGHT TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND DEFEAT AND NEVER TAKE A GAMBLE, BECAUSE HE IS THE UNDER DOG NO MATTER IF HE BEATS 100 FIGHTERS AND THE BEST OF THE BEST THEY WILL ONLY VIEW HIM AS THE YOU TUBE FIGHTER. IN MY EYES KIMBO YOU ARE THE PEOPLE’S FIGHTER!!!
