The Fix Is In

Or at least I would like to believe it was fixed. The much talked about Kimbo Slice was KO'd in 14 seconds last night against pink-haired afterthought, Seth Petruzelli. I am not a Kimbo Slice fan. Mostly because I like MMA and was patiently awaiting the day when the overhyped Slice faced somebody who could actually fight. Slice made a name for himself brawling with skaters and "street fighters" on Youtube. Sure it looked impressive, he's big and they weren't.



Kimbo would have been right at home in the early days of the UFC when guys were content to stand and trade blows. Nowadays brawlers like him and Tank Abbott can't hang with well-rounded MMA fighters but can hang their hat on their "tough guy" reps.

Unfortunately of Slice, that rep took a significant hit last night when he took a (seemingly) phantom punch to the jaw and fell to his knees faster than Paris Hilton in night vision. After taking a couple of "power punches" to the head, the fight was called because Kimbo was not defending himself. Kimbo never argued which is weird because I didn't see Petruzelli land one punch that should have hurt Kimbo.

Petruzelli looks like he went to NBA fight camp. He missed half the punches he threw and the other half were open palmed slaps that were no doubt crafted from watching A-Rod slap baseballs out of mitts and Alonzo Mourning fights. Either this fight was fixed or 14 seconds of limp-wristed punishment is just too much for one man to handle.
