What is the deal with the Kimbo fight?
« on: October 05, 2008, 05:39:14 AM »
I started to watch the fights last night,,,, I think I'm in love with Gina Corano :@` :@` just don't piss her off :x! :x!
Watched for a while then set the DVR up to record the last two fights. It recorded the title fight no problems, but it didn't record the Kimbo fight, so I went online and found out it only went 14sec before Kimbo took a nap. So I figured I fast forwarded through it, so I go back and rewatch the end of the title fight, the "in the locker room" with Kimbo, and then 7 mins of commercials :Xo! :Xo! :Xo! :Xo! :Xo! I have Verizon Fios out of VHO4, (Silver Spring MD) I have to find out if they somehow blocked me from recording it. Oh yea I can find out,, I work for VZ doing Fios, and have friends up in Tier2.  Any way Shamrock was out due to a training accident that left him with 6 stitches over his left eye after he caught a head butt,, and was Medically DQed, so Kimbo fought Seth Petrozelli.

1. The broadcast went longer than expected and if you didn't tell it to record past the end time you missed it.
2. Kimbo, just like any other fighter, got caught by a lucky punch. The dude looked like a girl backing up, kicking then getting lucky hitting Kimbo. Then he ran around like he won the lottery(i suppose he did, he should have been seeing stars for months).

That fight wasn't even funny, and I feel bad for the guy.  He took a hit that hurt him and he just couldn't recover.

It reminds me of a few bar fights that I have been in.

Thats why in street fights you never fight fair.
