Very Violent
Also some language

Pretty good video.
But even though the fight was only a few seconds long did you see how out of breath both fighters were afterwards?
Also it seemed that the winner had already won before the fight started. i.e. The loser was mentally beat before the fight started.
What do you think NDD?

The winner is named kimbo I think, fairly famous. Got some boxing skills. I agree about the mental aspects.

Kimbo had some pretty good moves, but more entertaining than a good fight.

I kept waiting to hear the referee yell Point. I've seen more contact in a sparring match with 12 year olds, although, I wouldn't want to get hit by either one of them.

I don't know about you guys but if I have to fight a dude that big and with obvious boxing skills I ain't fighting fair then again I ani't fighting fair no matter what.
He comes right at the guy leaving his groin wide open. If it were me and I couldn't get out of the fight I am kicking thats dudes nuts right into his throat. Chances are if it got that far I would have a rock or a pipe or a bottle in my hand. But I am sure as shit not going to try and box that dude straight up. Not very smart on that guys part but then again it looks like one of those backyard boxing matches any way.

Its a bare knuckles match, not a street fight. They did it for money.

Exactly.
Mike Tyson could still whip both of them at the same time, and he is smaller than either.
For that matter, Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris could beat them senseless emptyhanded.
The smaller guy lacked balance, good, accurate punches, or a plan.
Once he saw that he could not stand up toe to toe, he should have modified his plan and taken him to the ground, if he had grappling skills and the rules permitted. Otherwise, keep flicking the jab, and keep circling, looking for an opening.
Just my .02.

Kimbo is well known indeed
I have seen another video of him where he takes on Rich Gannon, a skilled NHB fighter. Gannon was able to counter Kimbo's street fighting style by taking him to the ground and ended up winning the fight rather easily.

I'm presuming this is the video that Kuri was referring to: Violent, and long
Interesting to compare with the original video: the first, the smaller guy tried to stand toe-to-toe and lost the slugging match; here, the big white guy fought a little smarter. Still got tore up (check out his face at the end), but won.
Also, apparently the white guy is Sean Gannon, a police officer.

Conditioning was a huge factor in the second fight, Kimbo couldn't hang with him, he could barely stand up.
Where do you find these videos?

That's the video!
See what happens when a poorly conditioned streetfighter squares up with an experienced NHB guy. DanUCSB, THANKS FOR THE ASSIST!
