Chuck vs Kimbo - Page 4

I'm not picking Kimbo over Chuck. That's crazy but if Chuck decides to outslug Kimbo then he's got a problem. He's gotta counterpunch him and go for a takedown and score some points.

He'll eventually KO Kimbo but if he gets caught in a real life "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" he'll be out cold.

He's too smart for that.

Chuck is delusional these days. He most certainly believes he could trade punches with Kimbo and win. Chuck however, couldn't take a Rampage punch. Kimbo is 40 lbs heavier and just as fast as RJ. I don't think Chuck's punches are going to be as effective against HW's. It's easy for Chuck to talk because he knows he'll never have to fight him. Kimbo by KO!

Not as fast as RJJ but fast none the less. Faster than Liddell reguardless.

Chuck cannot and should not strike with Kimbo it doesnt matter who your fighting, its clear who has the better technical skills between the two, Kimbo is also bigger.. hits hard as hell.. Chuck still blocks punches with his face, is getting old, and facing someone that hits as hard, as fast as Kimbo and also weighs 250 to Chucks what? 220 at HW? would suck. I doubt that Chuck can take a 250 lb mans punches when hes as technically sound as Kimbo.. he doesnt have to fight anyone good to show that he has good technique! jsut watch Kimbos fights.. its clear that he has a good stance, movement, punches, etc. Its also been clear for Chucks 10 year career that he doesnt care about technique and only likes to land haymakers. He'll throw an occasional jab, etc but its also been clear that he sucks at it lol as proven by Rampage.

Id take Kimbo....Chuck will stand and get Koed. If Kimbo fought Couture id take Couture....Kimbo is a very bad match up for Chuck. Couture would be a bad match up for Kimbo....imo.. its all about the match ups...

LOL @ everyone thinking Chuck will counterpunch after getting hit by Kimbo

Chuck can't punch when he's out cold, which is what would happen when Kimbo hit him.

Does experience mean nothing to anybody? and what is this "Chuck might hit as hard as Kimbo" bullshit? for years when anyone puts up a "hardest punchers" list, liddell is always on top. sure he got KO'd by Rampage, but we all know why, he threw the wrong punch to the body and got caught. he admitted it. look at the first fisht and tell me Liddell is easy to ko. look at the wanderlie fight. Silva hit him with some absolute bombs and he never went down. (besides the slips). Sure kimbo has good technique, but he's never been hit by anyone like liddell, and chuck wouldn't be afraid of him. Last week all i heard was that kimbo isn't even top 20(which he isn't by any means)O and now he can KO chuck? get real

Ok, first of all, just because someone has more experience than another fighter doesn't mean the experienced fighter is gauranteed a win. Frank Shamrock was 10 times more experienced at MMA than Cung Le and look what happend.

What you don't realize is that styles, height, and reach, all make fights. Kimbo would naturally out weight Chuck by about 40 lbs of muscle which equates to more strength and punching power if you have the slightest common sense. Not only that, Kimbo is faster and is a better Boxer. Chuck doesn't kick because of some injury so Kimbo won't have to worry about leg kicks too much and I'm sure Bas has been training him to defended them anyway.

Also, call it a hunch, but unless Kimbo gasses drastically like when he fought Gannon, I don't see one punch KOing him. He just looks like he has a rediculous chin and I would bet money no one besides a true HW could KO him.

so according to everyone chuck is just going to run in and let kimbo hit him in the face?? haha right...kimbo has decent technique but it has only been shown against cans.. no one good at all...on the toher hand chuck just outstruck wandy silva who is a way better striker then kimbo...chuck isnt just going to run in and trade blows with kimbo, he'l use angles and set shit up..he did it to wandy, a better fighter then kimbo so y not kimbo...i dont think kimbos is all that good...he fights no bodys in the street, people with no training that any trained striker would own...then he fights 2 washed up ass fighters with no game and he can all of the sudden ko chuck liddell..haha right..

explain why it matters who you fight if your showing technique? technique is footwork, and how you throw your punches, and basically form.. great technique can be shown while your punching a punching bag so explain why it matters who hes fighting. Plus Wanderlei Silva isnt 250 lbs.
