Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson was the headlining event for EliteXC’s “Saturday Night Fights” Kimbo should of finished this fight in a matter of minutes instead James Thompson took him down quite a few times where Kimbo proved to be the weaker man. Even though Slice had been training with Bas Rutten he lacked the knowledge on basic hip escapes and instead was forced to take some punches and elbows from James Thompson.
The fight went into the third round where judging by the look on Kimbo’s face he was angry about what was happening. So Kimbo went out there and bust Thompson’s cauliflower ear. With the killer instinct he has he attacked it until blood was pouring out. The referee stopped the fight after a few more punches from Kimbo. Although I believe the stoppage was premature one or two more punches from Kimbo and Thompson would of been unconscious. James Thompson believed he had a fighting chance and gave the referee a little slap on the face to prove it.
Anyway Kimbo Slice retained his undefeated record and is rumored to be fighting Brett Rogers next. Brett Rogers is also undefeated at heavyweight and would like a shot at Kimbo to prove he isn’t really that good. Here is what Rogers said in the post-fight press conference:
A man is man. And what I saw in this man today, it was just garbage. I’m going to speak it real, it was garbage. You did tap. You did tap out, I saw it, I was right there.
