Elite XC fighting on CBS Saturday night.
shardian:
Anyone else watch this? It was a pay-per-view caliber event that showed on broadcast TV. I happened to tune in just in time to see Gina Carano (better known as Crush on American Gladiators) pound some poor girls face in.
The Kimbo fight was pretty good I thought. The dude Kimbo fought had the WORST cauliflower ear I have ever seen! It looked like a dangling skin tag before the fight even began. :dizzy: Don't know what Kimbo was thinking when he kept trying to DDT the guy, but he almost screwed himself twice. Both times he could have simply backed off and popped the guy for a knockout.
As to the ref stepping in "early", that is totally understanding in this case. It IS broadcast tv you know.
CCM:
I watched and was disappointed, they were way over cautious. The Kimbo fight was stopped prematurely and Scott Smith should have been given his full 5 minutes to recover from the eye-poke. That was a great fight up to that point. At least they have already committed to a re-match.
On the other hand Gina did deliver the goods.
I do think we learned that Kimbo still needs to prove himself. I think if he was in there with anyone with any credentials, they would school him. He didn't seem to have much of an answer when he was taken down, and he was completely gassed by the end of the fight. I really want to see him in there with someone that knows what they are doing, they keep setting him up with tuna can's and has-beens.
CBS seemed to have some serious production issues, none of the televised fights went the distance and they still ran over by 45 minutes. From what I read, CBS's entertainment division ran the show instead of the Sports division.
That dude's ear was repulsive!
shardian:
Yes, the eye poke thing was ridiculous. I've been poked in the eye and couldn't see for a minute or two before. They literally ruled him out less than 2 minutes after his eye poke.
Honestly, I don't think they stopped the kimbo fight too early. When it was stopped, the guy was glassy eyed and was not defending himself. That was like the third time he was out on his feet. Plus, I don't think the ref wanted to see his ear fully explode any more than the rest of us. :cheers:
Oh and with Gina, I've never seen a woman turn another womans face into hamburger as quick as she did in that fight. She punches for REAL.
And lastly, I leave you with this to show how much of a chump that big English guy really was:

clanggedin:
I was very disappointed in Dan Murgliatta as the ref. He stopped too many fights prematurely. The Kimbo fight was fixed.
This show set MMA back 10 years.
They should have showed the WEC fights on CBS instead.
CCM:
James Thompson was also knocked out in his last fight back in February by Brett Rogers (the black dude with the mohawk) who fought in the opening fight Saturday night. I read that Rogers was pissed that Thompson got to fight in the main event.
It's pathetic how much Elitexc is protecting Kimbo! Put a real fighter in there with him!
EliteXC has a ton of great fighters they can be promoting as the face of their company and they choose Kimbo.... I'm steadily loosing respect for ElietXC...
