Well, Kimbo lost tonight in a traumatic (that's what I meant to say) 14 second bout vs. Ken Sham... no wait, Seth Petruzelli; a guy who was supposed to be on the undercard, but took the bout after Shamrock pulled out due to a bad cut above his left eye.
Elite XC, the company that Kimbo dances (sorry) fights for, is now in shambles because its prize thoroughbred just broke its leg 14 seconds after breaking out of the gate. I wouldn't be surprised if this company folds like the XFL in the coming weeks because of this travesty of a CBS special.
Sure, the story may have been kinda nice: a guy taken off the streets by a porn company to beat some idiots senseless for a little dough, turned into a guy brought into an MMA gym and trained to be a one-dimensional fighter (he has no mat skills whatsoever, and throwing some hammers can't get you all that far in the business), but Kimbo's number has been called.
So, where does he go from here? Who knows? I wish the best for him, and hope he doesn't revert back to the guy he was before he was discovered.
I would compare this to David downing Goliath, but Kimbo Slice wasn't thought to be unbeatable, his timer was just running a bit slower than the rest.
