Fellow's: Kimbo Slice Might be for Real

There's a great you tube video of Goldberg visiting 'Kimbo Slice' for a training session as he's preparing for his upcoming fight with 'Tank' Abbott. All I have to say is Mr. Slice might be for real boys.

He's shed a ton of weight since his street fighting internet days and looks like he's not depending on brawling anymore. Obviously he has a ton to prove in order to shed the stigma of his bouncer days but it looks like he's way ahead of schedule.

No one has ever questioned Tank Abbott's reputation for fighting but he's hardly the measure of a great fighter. However, Kimbo should run through him and we might hear about him in the near future.

Kimbo does look for real. I saw an interview and he said the only reason he did those backyard fights was to "call out" all the bullies and thugs, cause he said that he's not that kind of guy. I like him! Should tear Abbotts head off. I'd be suprised if it went past the first round. Welcome to 1-8 Tank.

I thought he was more of a gimmick but it certainly looks like he's gonna be the real deal. It won't make it past the first round. Obviously training with Bas Rutten has transformed him into more of a complete fighter. Again, he's not a main carder but it'll be interesting to see the attention he draws after hi dismantles Tank.
