No damage? Kimbo fvcked up that one dude's eye (Byrd?) in his first fight.

Fair enough, Ali v Liston, a classic example. Ali v anybody, practically.
Kimbo knows his strength and he played to it. I have yet to see him go against someone who hits as hard. Gannon made it all messy and took away his "A" game.
I guess that's what strategy is all about, playing your "A" game, not his.
When I read Tug's post, I thought of Tyson as well. Reach is relative. Basic fact is, if he is close enough to hit you, you're close enough to hit him. Patience, patience...
Fair point.
I'd also point out that these are bare-knuckle boxing matches, not MMA bouts or true street fights - no one's really attempting any sort of grappling, well or badly.
As an aside, this is the first time I've bothered to watch a Kimbo vid. He's better than I'd expected.

Does anyon have a link to Kimbo's fight with Gannon?
I've never seen these fights before yesterday, I just happened upon the thread.
Big Bad Muther F*cker!
Please post the link if you have it. Checked YOUTUBE but I didn't come up with any fight of his with Gannon.
Peace
Gannon was selling the DVDs of the fight at one point, so they were quick to squelch online leaks.
EDIT--
Typed it into Google.

Holy Crap!
That was some brawl! I couldn't tell from the video; the extent of the damage that Kimbo took, but it was clear that Gannon took a face full! And that guy didn't give up, Holy Sh1t!!
Either way, two super-tough individuals, very entertaining.
Thanks for posting the clip.
Here. Cheap shot ftl.
Gore warning at end.

Goes to show, if you're gonna hit somebody, hit them hard.
Agression don't mean squat if you can't hurt the guy when you land the punches.

where's the gore though? err wait im on the wrong forum
