Video: Kimbo Slice Wins His Pro-Boxing Debut In Just 10 Seconds

This is boxing. let’s see him fight 10 cans in 1 year. move up to wash outs for 1 year. then we can look and see if Dan’s dumb (he isn’t in this case) and if Kimbo is legit as a boxer (he ain’t)

But In think I will reserve judgement until Kimbo fights an actual fighter, as opposed to a 39 year old who’s never won a pro fight in his life.

Love the video description (tooken out on a stretcher).

If you were to look at his opponent and record, you would expect Kimbo to KO him in 10 seconds and he did. Wade was horrible and if he survived the first round it would have been embarrassing for Kimbo. Klitschko, look out.

If you beat Glass Joe in Mike Tyson’s punch out you pretty much beat the game so turn off the nintendo and start doing celebratory Diego Sanchez yes yes yes flips in the back yard.

Gotta admit, Kimbo looks pretty fit. That KO would make a nice gif.

He´ll beat up on a few hand picked oponents, get his name going around again, then have a few thougher fights against lower level journeymen fighters and hope to win those so he can keep collecting decent paychecks. Maybe he can even end his stint in boxing with a “bigger money” fight against some over the hill former champion with a bit of a name, get destroyed, and retire from fighting with a pretty damn good bank account.
Because lets face it, thats why he is doing this. It´s a way of making more money than he could make in anny other way (unless he gets a big offer from some pro wrestling company, I guess). If he can use the fact that there are alot of people that for some reason love him (or his image at least) and make some money that way, it´s hard to blame the guy.

Now, if he, the Shaws or annyone else actually think he will acomplish annything in boxing, they are insane, but outside of some of his most delusional fans, I doubt annyone will actually think that. Maybe Jared Shaw, if he truely never learned annything from being around boxing for most of his life, but I can not imagine his father actually thinking that Kimbo will be a great boxer (offcourse he can´t say that, since he is the promoter). He have worked with enough really good boxers, prospects, champions and journeymen, to realize that Kimbo will never be more than a very popular lower level boxer. He HAVE TO realize that.

Um… good for Kimbo? Kimbo will always have fans for what he does, and blasting through some hand-picked opponents much like he did in MMA during the Elite XC days, will do wonders for his inflated fighting ability until he comes across a half decent boxer who knows how to defend himself and throw a decent jab. Until then, it is what it is. Kimbo’s gonna milk it, so I can’t blame him. But Shaw… so long as they stay out of MMA, I guess I can’t complain much.

Boxing makes so much more sense physically for Kimbo because of his bum knee, and although his striking skills aren’t top rate by any means they’re much farther along than his entry level ground game.

But he’s still too old to be developing that much. He can probably hang with journeymen boxers but will get out-techniqued at the top level. At this point it comes down to just him earning a solid payday to continue off of, and at this point the biggest thing he has going for him is his name recognition. Honestly the advice I would give him is go spend a few months getting certified as a personal trainer, and leverage your name into a decent long term stable career.

Side note: I guess I missed it but Kimbo has a cousin named Rhadi Ferguson, who just started MMA last year and won a fight on challengers. Except Rhadi is a national judo-champ, competed in the Olympics, and is basically unknown. Weird how you can reach the highest levels in one sport and still be overshadowed by your cousin who posts street-fights on youtube.

Any estimation of Kimbo’s purse for this?
