So he should be proud of having shown some skills, but this definitely lets him know how much he has to learn as well.

Lets just hope he DOES learn from it. It happens to a lot of fighters who are known for early round knockouts. They get matched up against someone who can take them into the late rounds and they just gas out and don't know what to do. it's not going to get an easier for Kimbo than what he has seen so far and it's only going to go uphill. Let shope he sees the mistake she made and doesn't make them again. He needs to condition for endurance a little more, he already has the strength.
I still want to see Kimbo do good, i just think he's way overhyped for where he is right now. That could be a good thing for him, or it COULD turn around on him hard...
