Kimbo would've beaten Shamrock.

@mrdrumsauce The dude had a serious cut. He pulled out, because the doctor would of just called off the fight anyways. I didn't want to see that fight. Bas is right. The powers that be expected too much, too fast out of Kimbo. Shamrock probably would of won that fight, and Seth Petruzelli proved that Kimbo was not yet ready to compete with good grapplers or more technical strikers. Kimbo needed a good year or more of training and that paid off. He showed great improvement against Huston.

@Diggy22 How often do you see anyone pulling guard when they are rocked, unless that person is known for their ground game? The ground training they were doing was most like defensive training. I highly doubt Bas was teaching Kimbo how to pull guard or scramble for a takewdown when you're rocked. I agree with Bas that people expected such great things out of Kimbo WAY too fast. At the same time I don't think Kimbo would of ever been great.

why do I not see anyone calling Shamrock out for punking out at the last minute. Kimbo owes Shamrock a serious ass whooping... I really wanted to see Kimbo v Shamrock

"hey lookey look what we have here!"

I care shit about kimbo or petruzelli o whatever, BAS IS THE BEST

@gmsquared Ok, I can run with that logic.

[gmsquared]

@HairofSteel555 they train that way to work on weaknesses and balance out. if they were really good at ground but not striking, it'd be opposite

[masajhn]

@KrAuZeR94 period

For someone who supposedly "trained for the ground", Kimbo looked like a turtle stuck on his back when he got knocked down.
