Gannon had a good day.

Couldn't repeat it when he turned pro.

sorry? I'm a proponent of a style not a particular fighter (I'm a fan of Tank Abbot as well) Kimbo happens to personify it right now.
Good scrap with Gannon.

I thought from your post you were a fan of Kimbo's.

I'm a fan of 'street-based' fighting styles.
Having said that Mr. Slice is amazingly watchable.
The problem with a lot of the hard-street style practitioners is that they rarely train for endurance until it becomes an issue, in particular I'm thinking about Abbot and Slice.

Fucking boring.

I wanna see this guy go more than a round in a real fight.

That dude is not about style. That dude is all about the physical incarnation of a mental focus toward beating the shit out of his opponent.

At least that's what I got out of watching his fights in the past.

Tough guy, no doubt.

Kimbo vs Tank Abbott Feb 16.

What do you think guys ?

by **coldharvest** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 6:32 am

I like Tank (being a better looking version of him) but I'll go with Mr. Slice for the winning beats.

by **Woodsman** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 2:16 pm

It will be a good fight. I believe tank is more experienced, and I'm really not sure who hits the hardest, because they both put their weight into their punches and neither are lightweights. I would like to see that fight.

by **Hitoru** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 2:29 pm

Tank may have more experience, but he seems to revert to the same old brawling (lack of) technique. He is not that great of a pro fighter.

I predict Kimbo to win in less than three minutes in the first round.

Do you really think so?

Neither guy can go longer than 5 minutes. It will probably be decided by who manages to land one of their hail marys.

I know these fights draw a crowd, but from a fighting perspective I would much rather see Randy Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko or some others guys who aren't as one-dimensional as Kimbo or Tank.

I think it will be a good fight, and I think the outcome will be surprising. However, I say that based on having seen Tank in a bunch of fights over the last decade or so and maybe 3 or 4 minutes of internet videos of Slice.

Based on what I've seen, Tank has a more aggressive attitude and punches like he is trying to bust a telephone pole in half, vs. Slice being a more strategic boxer-based fighter who is able to move and dodge surprisingly quick for a guy his size.

This isn't going to be athletic based at all, we aren't watching a long struggle for the title - the thing that will make this fight interesting is that I suspect it will wind up being much more "real world" than a boxing match. In the street, a good fighter's fight doesn't go on any more than 5 seconds - if that - before someone is hurt to the point of which they are unable to fight anymore.

This isn't about endurance or athleticism, but rather brute force and raw attitude. I think the opponents are well matched for an intriguing outcome.
