commentsThe stoppage on the Lawler fight and the Kimbo fight were both crap. As for Kimbo's supposed tapping out Im not sure if Im missing it or what. I saw two times during the match Kimbo waved his hand and told the ref he was fine but no actual tapping. If Thompson could actaully GnP effectively it would of been called but those elbows he was throwing at the end of round two were some of the weakest I have ever seen. Any decent fighter would of had Kimbo bleeding or knocked out quickly in that situation. The fight definitely wreaked of a predetermined outcome.
1. Why in the heck didn't Thompson's trainers have his cauliflower drained? It sill would be a target but it wouldnt look like freaking golf ball.
2. Kimbo's conditioning is ABYSMAL, halfway through the 2nd round he looked like he was ready to fall over. Granted Thompson isnt the greatest MMA fighter by a long shot but he grounded Kimbo and trapped his arm on several occasions.
3. Kimbo weakness has been exposed(as if anyone didnt know), he cant grapple. And he may even have some serious issues with someone with good kicking skills.
4. The Ref blew it in the last round by calling the match before the doctor could even look at the ruptured cauliflower ear. Even when someone has massive cut to the eye and is bleeding profusely Ref's generally still defer to the ring doctor FIRST then call the match. Im not saying that it shouldn't have been called, but when someone fights for a living you don't want them walking away thinking they were robbed of their "big chance" especially when it looks like they are ahead on points

Her name is Nicky Ryan, shes a model/ring girl i believe and she has her own show on the fight network.
Kimbo is a great street fighter, but, err, how many great fighters are there on the streets?
Most 'great' fighters, fight for a living, and James Thomson is by NO means a 'great' fighter'.
The hype is dead, the entire presentation was a con, and the match was fixed.
And if you look at the line below the shaving rule it looks like theres a few people *cough*clayguida*cough* that ought to get a haircut or tie their hair back once kimbo actually shaves his beard.
