Video: Kimbo Slice Scores One Punch Knockout in Second Boxing Match

PrintKimbo Slice may (or may not) be done with MMA but he's finding success against the lowest level heavyweights boxing has to offer. Earlier in the week a press release came out to hype his most recent fight in which Gary Shaw Promotions talked abut Slice facing Ray Bledsoe. The man's name is Tay, not Ray.
Regardless, Tay Bledsoe entered the ring with a 2-3 record having won his first two bouts and then getting knocked out in 1:18 of the first round, 1:35 of the first round and 0:55 of the second round. Needless to say, this was not exactly a bout that many in the boxing world will be taking too seriously, regardless of what Jared Shaw might say.
Here's a clip of the fight, which consists of Slice scoring a knockout on the first punch he landed, a wide and wild overhand right (there's about 20 seconds of junk at the beginning of the video:
The other area that the Shaws seem to be focusing on aside from a tendency to get knocked out is finding small fighters to stand across the ring from Kimbo.
His first opponent, James Wade, weighed in at 205 pounds to Kimbo's 227 and Bledsoe was 209 to Kimbo's 244.
Yes, Kimbo weighed in at 244, close to 20 pounds higher than he has weighed in previously. He looks every pound of it in the video too, looking extremely soft for a guy known for his imposing physique.
Look, I don't want to sound like I'm ragging too hard on Kimbo. I like the guy and want him to get his money, I'm just not going to let Jared Shaw (and daddy) get away with pretending that they're moving him along to a title shot or any form of relevance in the heavyweight division.
He's being carefully matched in hopes that they can get him some TV slots and make a little money, a 37 year old fighting carefully handpicked bums who honestly belong (and have fought) at cruiserweight isn't some sign of Kimbo's long term legitimacy and meaning in the sport.
He's an attraction, not a champion. That's all there is to it. And if he doesn't watch his fitness level he won't even be an attraction unless he's looking to become the new king of the four rounders.

It’s his second fight. I don’t see the problem with lining him up with guys like Bledsoe. If people believe Shaw’s jawing about title shots, they are a lost cause.

Kimbo v. Butterbean
For the King of the 4 Rounder Championship. Book it.
Seriously, I don’t mind Kimbo and his efforts to make a few dollars. But for the Shaw’s to try and act like he’s a “threat” to any actual professional fighter (be it MMA or Boxing) is just ridiculous. Let the guy fight some freakshows for some paychecks. Let him fight cans and build up his record. Just don’t let the Shaw’s get any kind of weird ass TV deal off of him. I think he’ll do just fine staying on YouTube.

Amen brother
Butterbean’s actually not a bad boxer…

Nah, that was a legit KO
That can that got “KO’d” by Marquez was hilarious. Dude broke his fall then “went out.”

Does he look like a man with a future?
He needs to earn money now and hope that it, along with whatever he can parlay his fame into, can provide for him and his family for a few decades until SS kicks in (if it’s still around). God knows how much the UFC made off his name, so I hope he gets a little more for himself.
Let Gary Shaw do whatever buildup of Kimbo that he wants. Even a rushed and undeserved major title shot will be good for him, as he’s not going to win regardless of how well he’s paced/nurtured.

Exactly
Whatever money he’s trying to make now he can use to try to live the rest of his life comfortably.
watched the video
and i thought that kimbo looked a little soft (ok, a lot), then i read the lower half of the article. turns out, kimbo is a little soft. he’s fun though and he has a big personality. getcher money kimbo.
Toney might be a bombastically senile shell of his former self
But he would beat Kimbo’s ass.

the mild secret about kimbo’s mma efforts was that his striking wasn’t very good, and mostly in the one area he was supposed to excel— punching power. in his fight against mitrione, for instance, kimbo had every opportunity to work his striking without relying on defending the takedown but couldn’t do it. i was actually far more impressed with the development of kimbo’s wrestling through his mma tenure. if he had half a gas tank he may have been able to hang around with the brawler set at the lower level of the ufc heavyweight division.

He threw a few that landed with authority, but outside of that all he did was backpedal. He feared the beard

Off topic
but for about 4 weeks I have problems accesing BE and other SBN sites. I switched from Opera to FF and the from FF to Chrome and every browser is failing. On Opera I have just a blank, gray screen and Chrome and FF say that the site cannot be viewed because it uses improper coding methods. After I hit “refresh” few time I can access the site, but it’s pretty uncomfortable.
Anyone else has/had this problem?

Kimbo is weeks away from beating both Klitsckos (sic) at the same time.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
as the other post stated
Kimbo is an amateur boxer, so hes going to be fighting other amatuers, you want to throw him in there for the title just because he had some internet fights?
Kimbo keep doing your thang, somebody gone always have something negative to say we all know how that goes.. Can’t fade him though

thats legit. A winging punch to someone who didn’t keep his chin down. More power to him but I think his physique will catch up to him. At the same time, he’s probably just doing it to get paid. Despite him being an intimidating gentleman, he says he does it for his daughter.

I really hated Kimbo when he first hit the scene. Thought he was an arrogant asshole who didn’t belong in the sport, etc. etc. The Ultimate Fighter didn’t turn me into a fan of his, but I think he is a good guy. I hope he makes a decent payday in boxing and gets some average experience while he is at it.

The gif looks fake, but the video tells it like it is.
The guys head snaps from left to right, and back to left so fast, you see his head bobble and legs give way immediately.
No doubt this was a legit knockout.
There’s also no doubt that Kimbo needs to step up the competition. These guys are garbage.
