Kimbo KO'd, Petruzelli Silences the Sensation
MMA Weekly has the news that :

The legend of Kimbo Slice came crashing down in just :14 seconds as late replacement, Seth Petruzelli, finished off the internet sensation in stunning fashion with a barrage of punches just after the opening bell sounded.

After original opponent, Ken Shamrock, had to step out of the bout with a cut over his left eye, Seth Petruzelli stepped out of his scheduled preliminary fight against Aaron Rosa and made it to the main event against Kimbo.

As soon as the fight started, Kimbo strutted across the cage as confident as ever trying to stalk his prey, but instead of landing a big shot he was greeted by a short right hand from Petruzelli that put him down on the ground.

Recognizing that Kimbo was hurt, Petruzelli immediately jumped in with a few more punches forcing his opponent to role over where he proceeded to continue the assault.

As Kimbo’s arms and legs seem to go limp, the referee stepped in between the two fighters and Seth Petruzelli was declared the winner of the biggest fight of his career that he took on essentially 2 hours notice.

“It was an opportunity for me to step up,” Petruzelli said following the win. “I took a year off, started my own business, but it was a chance for me to get my name back out there and do what I had to do. My skill, it’s what I’ve been doing since I was a little kid, this is what I always wanted to do my whole life.”

Yep been telling the world that Kimbo Sucks. Now everyone realizes he is a gimmick.

What a joke. Forget that it was Seth Petruzelli that KO'd Kimbo, the bum barely got hit. Makes me think I could knock out Kimbo. And did anyone happen to catch Jared Shaw freaking out in the background while Kimbo was receiving his beatdown? That was classic. Shaw was having a hissy fit, screaming at the ref as he watched his pathetic meal ticket go up in flames. First thing that crossed my mind when I saw Kimbo crash and burn was now that Kimbo has been exposed as a nobody, where else does EliteXC turn to sell tickets? The only major draw they have left is Carano and if Cyborg takes her down, Elite XC is through...unless they sign Tito. Sign Tito. Line up a Frank Shamrock vs Tito Ortiz fight and you might pack an arena one last time. Then its lights out on EliteXC the same way Kimbo had his lights turned out last night.

There really isn't a whole lot to say...Kevin got caught the way that everybody does...but in the UFC it's part of the game...Elite XC is in trouble! Like I've said before, not clowning on Kimbo but he is their "Cash Cow". I hope he doesn't get pushed to the curb by XC...I also thought it was bullshit how the NO Talent announcer in the ugly ass shirt said " where does he go now" as if there was a clause in his contract in case of loss pull here...he's a fighter and fighters lose but im afraid of they're gonna treat him now...I love Gina Carano but man CYBORG is no joke and it looks like she's got work to do, i mean she can be even more brutal...she looks like a machine and Carno may be in over her head. RedCoat is right...Gimmick over

Sooooo, I guess it's back to beatin up homeless people on the streets of Miami, huh? As Kimbo quoted, "das how a nigga gotta eat". Man, that was just awful for his career.......I still remember him callin out CHUCK LIDDELL!!!!!! It must be a rough ass morning for him today.

Hahaha, nobody believed me when i said Kimbo was gonna lose his next fight. He still treats his fights like street fights and tries to bull rush everybody. I hope he's getting all the criticism that he deserves and i still think that Shamrock would've done way more damage... Dana was right when he said, "Kimbo sucks!"

What I can't believe is that they agreed to fight Seth Petruzelli, who has a good career as a 205 and heavyweight. He's not an old Ken Shamrock, and I don't know why Slice's people would think this was a walk through fight. He basically shot into a right hand to the button. That punch NEVER has to be hard to hurt somebody because it's hard to see the punch when shooting in blind like Kimbo was, but his lack of knowing what to do (summer salt and roll over into a guard position to see the blows raining down) was what made him seem amateurish.

He's still young, and he'll headline again. Word to your mother's unkle.

kimbo is a brawler like tank,they either knock someone out or they get ko'd,great to watch but wont win you belts.you need to pick your shots and not leave your chin exposed kimbo.They said brett roger's will fight the winner of ken and kimbo,non of them won so i think it should be arlovski v roger's and the winner fight's bigfoot silva for the belt.
