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

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."

So he IS considering professional boxing? Interesting.

that interview was said to be fake. he was never in jail.

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.

I've been wondering, whats the "305" stand for?

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).

[SifuAbel]

I'm from the"305". thats miami-dade.

The punch at 5:45 is huge.

Props to the second guy for taking tons of punishment and keeping on getting back up.

You can see he's dazed at the end and can't walk straight.

I wonder if he's related to Conan?

anyone know?

[Ray Pina]

His fight spirit was much too large for both of those men... he could probably have fought them both at the same time.

I had respect for Kimo until I saw a fighter handle him and his men jumped in and made a big fuss about rules and kept stopping the fight everytime he got into trouble.
