The rules clearly state... Stop the fight if the fighter does not intelligently defend himself. The fight should have been stopped in the 2nd round, when Kimbo was on the fence and could not stop the unanswered blows.
End of story. This is bullshit, watching it with Nick, the whole time I kept going on that the Kimbo myth has been exsposed. A C level fighter was taking Kimbo down, taking his best punches, and kept going.
Kimbo wouldn't be able to hang with a new UFC HW fighter. Sorry to actually say it. Sean Gannon who beat him years ago, didn't last very long in the UFC either, he got his ass whooped by a B Level UFC Heavyweight.
I'm frankly disgusted by EliteXC, it has done more to make MMA a fucking farce as a real sport, than McCain did in the dark days pre 2000.

Well said, we just watched it and I am amazed this wasnt stopped in the 2nd and when it was stopped I am not sure why.
I love Kimbo, but this was a gift.
