Kimbo Slice vs. Bo Cantrell prefight…

They’re billing this as Kimbo’s “official MMA debut”….I know that the promotion that Kimbo *did* debut in was kind of a joke but that was a former world heavyweight boxing champion Kimbo tapped out in Ray Mercer. Bo Cantrell was a Marine which means he’s tough, but he looks like the lead singer of a “nu metal” band. He’s willing to be locked in a cage with Kimbo Slice which means he’s a braver man than I am. I say this every time but if Kimbo ain’t the scariest looking mofo on the planet I don’t know who is. I don’t care if Kimbo hasn’t learned anything from Bas Rutten that’s one powerful dude. Kimbo making his ring entrance….we live in a strange world as Jimmy Lennon Jr. introduces a guy who’s primary background was YouTube street fighting. Kimbo makes his way to the cage looking menacing as ever. I like the direction that EliteXC is heading in but I can’t get over how much their production looks like the WCW wrestling promotion during the Hulk Hogan/NWO era. Bill Goldberg just informed us that Kimbo is a 3-1 favorite. He was actually a -385 favorite at BetDSI.com the last time I checked. Why is it that I keep thinking of a white guy’s first day at a maximum security prison. Crowd pops big for Kimbo–if his skills keep progressing under Bas Rutten I’m standing by my prediction that he could very well become the Mike Tyson of MMA. Cantrell gets booed for having the audacity to get in the cage with Slice. I wish they were having this fight in a boat dealership like one of Kimbo’s YouTube fights.
