    Kimbo certainly has a mean uppercut on him. Aside from Boxing what is his background?

    I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I heard it's the area code where Kimbo is from. In other words, South-East Florida (Dade county).

    I thought I read somewhere that he had no training at all - his "boxing" is self taught.


    "5. Are you in training right now to polish your boxing skills and if so how is that going?

    I recently started training at a local gym here in Miami. I’m working on my conditioning and defense. I feel I done created a great offense from my days in the pen. That was Education 101. "


    "11. How long will it take you after turning pro to become a good slugger-boxer and become a championship level fighter?

    I have a lot of respect for the game. I know many of these fighters have been putting in their work for years. But they ain’t never been in the pen as long as I have. I have skills you can’t learn on the outside. I feel I’ll be ready for anyone within ten fights."

    I lost respect for that dude. As soon as he lost position, as soon as he was in trouble, his boys come bail him out and break it up. Then they fight again? That's crazy. I would have taken the money and left.

    He seems all legit fighting smaller guys. One guy his size not only can't he finish but his boys bail him out.... terrible. No honor.

    it was a rules issue. The rules of that fight were to be no kicks and no submissions. They jumped in when gannon applied a choke...

    If he trained himself to go the distance, he could probably do some damage, he looks like he has the same problem Tyson had. To used to KO'ing ppl early on, that when it goes on longer than they are used to, they get pooped and stop.

    Yes, unfortunately they didn't jump in when kimbo went for the single-leg, which then prompted Gannon to choke.
