I ended up not watching the Kimbo VS Shamrock Pteruzelli fight last night on CBS, and im glad i didnt. Apparently Shamrock had injured himself hours before the fight and couldnt get cleared by two different doctors so a replacement was found. The replacement was Seth “The Silverback” Petruzell.
The results as told by bloodyelbow.com:
Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson vs. Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli - Round 1 - Kimbo refuses to touch gloves at the ref instructions. SLICE IS HURT! 10 SECONDS AND IT’S DONE! OH MY GOD! WOW! KIMBO WAS SHOOTING ON THE REF A GOOD 10 SECONDS LATER HE WAS SO HURT! Seth stunned him and then dropped BOMBS once Kimbo went down. Seth Petruzelli wins by KO (Punches) Round 1 (10 seconds). Front kick, right hand. The right dropped Kimbo and then Seth pounded him out with right hand after right hand. Seth is making excuses for Kimbo. Kimbo, to his credit, does not make excuses. He just says show the fighters some love, the after party is still on…and then leaves mid interview.
Someone else pointed it out in the comments so I rewound and watched. Jared Shaw was screaming at the cage when Kimbo was getting pounded out. It looked like someone who bet his life savings on one horse screaming at a jockey. I wonder if it was directed at Kimbo “get up!” or the ref “don’t stop it!” Actually. Looking a little further at a different angle it is clear that he seemed to be yelling at the ref after the stopage also…so I’m not sayin’ I’m just sayin’ that Shaw seemed upset that the fight was stopped as kimbo ate a LOT of unanswered shots. But maybe I’m wrong.
A dissapointment for the most part, but i am confident had it been Shamrock Kimbo would have been the victor. Not that i am making excuses for him, but i do believe that the switch up was what caused this loss. Again, Kimbo is a great street fighter, but being new to the ring, he has yet to get totally accustomed. That will take time and more training…
Uhhhhmmm…what’s up with that one tittay of Taco Meat?!?!?!!
I watched some of this but I missed this fight. *sad face* Kimbo is something else, ain’t he? This dude. How did this even happen. I’m watching it and I still don’t see it.
And bald up top braids on the sides? Is that the new hotness in the streets or what? Now if I start seeing the older guys at work with that swag I know who to blame…
