Bad stoppage.
Thompson took plenty of big hits int he fight and kept on coming. The bleeding wasn't affecting his vision or anything. Mirragliotta should have let it go a little longer yet. There was no grounds for a stoppage in my eyes.
Either way, that fight fucking sucked. The pair of them were gassed by the end of the second round. Thompson's punches were weaker and slower than shit when he had Kimbo down against the cage, and Kimbo was just laying and praying. BOOOOOOOOOOO!
We got the see Kimbo on the ground, which was nice, and he didn't appear completely hopeless, but I saw pretty much what I had expected. Enough to know that anyone with a real ground game would rip his fucking ass to shreds.
The entire event kind of blew in my opinion. The best fight of the night should have been Lawler and Scott Smith, which may have also been a bad stoppage, but at least we're going to see a rematch. I think they should have given him his 5 minutes personally, but hey, at least i can underdstand their reasoning behind that stop.
In the end I think Gina's fight was the best of the night, and even she came in over weight, slow, and generally fairly lackluster.
This event fucking blew, and I'm glad it didn't cost anything to watch. here's hoping WEC put son a better show tomorrow night.
On another subject. Has anyone else noticed EliteXC taking a real WWF turn here? The entire thing is looking like a novelty show tonight. i had some high hopes for EliteXC becoming a good mma alternative, and tonight hasn't done much to help it grow on me personally. What was with Baroni's fucking WWF entry? For fuck sakes.
