What’s Next For Kimbo & Kelly?

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

The big winners this weekend (other than Pretty Boy Floyd of course) were Kimbo Slice and Kelly Pavlik. Both men cemented the fact that they are legitimate stars in their sports. So, the question remains, where do they go from here? It seems as though there are three options being presented ...

1. Kelly Pavlik is no flash in the pan 2. Miami sure does love them some Kimbo. What an amazing crowd 3. Even in defeat, that was Jermain Taylor's best fight as a pro 4. Tank Abbott must be a Ric Flair fan 5. Other than the fact that there were no knock downs, ...

Saturday In The Park: Must See Multiple TVs

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

How the heck am I supposed to watch all the great stuff on television tonight?!?! Obviously, there's Pavlik-Taylor II which Large did a tremendous job (as always) of previewing yesterday.

El Guapo Grades Kimbo’s Elite XC Debut

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I'm still a little surprised that more people aren't questioning Bo Cantrell's performance against Kimbo Slice this weekend.

Kimbo & Bas: A Match Made In MMA Heaven

Bas Rutten is no spring chicken. The former UFC Heavyweight champion and three-time King of Pancrase has been arould the world of Mixed-Martial-Arts longer than most. So it made perfect sense when I first heard that Rutten (aka El Guapo) would be training Kimbo Slice as he enters the world ...

Bas Is Coming and He Might Bring Kimbo, As Well

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Who knew that putting up a Kimbo Slice video would illicit such excitement. I received more mail about that video than any interview posted on this site thus far. That said, I am working diligently in getting an exclusive interview with Kimbo before his Elite XC debut this Saturday night but ...

Will Kimbo Slice Be The First Ever Boxing & MMA Heavyweight Champ?

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Elite XC held a press conference yesterday to hype their next 11/10 show "Renegade." Gary Shaw and his team deserve some credit for this one because the card is pretty stacked. Some of the main fights to look out for are Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons for the new 160 ...
