Kimbo just got exposed. Don't expect him to win too many more fights, that is, if CBS doesn't start throwing nobody's at him so he looks good again.As far as Kimbo being a good sport, i have to disagree. He was only a "good sport" after he got dominated. Before the fight, he wouldn't even touch gloves with the other fighter, he just left him hanging when he put his glove up. I was VERY EXCITED to see him get his own ass served to him on platter.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndWell yeah that is Kimbo being "street" and using gamesmanship to gain an advantage. Seth is more down to earth and did not have an image to maintain. It is all marketing. Seth acted like it was the best thing that ever happened to him. What would have been said if Kimbo won? People just jump on the bandwagon of any outcome. Same old same old, "He has yet to fight anyone worth while." No one is ever satisfied with any outcome. Petruzelli was pounding Kimbo like his life depended on it, Ala Keith Hackney vs Emmanuel Yarborough, because it probably did. His scrappy unorthodox style worked in his favor, and as stated Kimbo did not train for that kind of fighter. This isn't the streets it is MMA. The promoters are the ones creating hype, Kimbo is just there to fight and make money. According to Kimbo he was well trained for the ground for Shamrock, so maybe he would have had a better chance if it went there, as opposed to being on his knees stunned and hit in the back of the head multiple times.
