BK just a quick OT! Kimbo lost to Gannon in a gym that was held pretty hush hush because Gannon is an active Boston, Ma Police Officer and the dept frowns on the fighting, however they found out and advised him if it happens again he's gone! There is speculation that if the right amount of money is put up to Gannon to rematch he will leave BPD and pursue his career in MMA. I would imagine this will happen. And it will be quite the fight. Anyways back on topic.......
Gannon did pursue a career in MMA. The UFC had thought about signing Kimbo, but then saw the Gannon fight, and said well screw Kimbo, lets get this guy. So he got his first fight, and then a contract with the UFC. He got TKO'd in the first round and quit MMA altogether.
Kimbo doesnt hold a candle to any heavyweight in the top 25. If EliteXC ever wants him to have any credibility, they need to let him fight people other than washouts. Thompson was supposed to lose, and if Miragliotta wasnt on the payroll, he would have stopped the fight in the second round like it should have been. He stopped two other fights early in the night, but then conveniently let the EliteXC posterboy take over a minutes worth of elbows with zero defence. Gary Shaw is a tool, and their CBS show made a mockery of MMA.
BK, I thought you were coming down to PC this weekend?
