jab

Man, what a fucking mess. If there was any debate as to whether Ken Shamrock should retire, his Cage Rage appearance last night settled it. Check out the 3:54 mark of the video, as Ken takes a glancing jab and a right hook to his glove, then flops over sideways, Bo Cantrell-style. At this point, it's hard to imagine any professional heavyweight that Ken has the tools to beat. At the very least, he should have to change his nickname from "The World's Most Dangerous Man" to "The Third Most Dangerous Shamrock" (after Frank and Frank's wife).

Even if he's given the medical clearance to fight next month it's doubtful that EliteXC will still want to book Ken to get eaten up by Kimbo Slice on their CBS debut. Problem is, he was the most marketable option for Kimbo's next opponent. Will Slice vs. Berry draw the amount of eyes that Shaw & Co. need for their first network television show? Maybe, maybe not. But any hope for a blockbuster "superfight" just buckled like Ken's ever-wobbly legs.
