Rappy Veteran Posted August 27, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 27, 2010 Kimbo Slice is apparently leaving MMA for boxing. Boxing promoter and former WZR Radio guest Gary Shaw told ESPNNewYork that he has a boxing deal in place with Slice that would see him make his boxing debut by the end of the year. Kimbo is apparently working with California-based trainer Clemente Medina and is expected to debut sometime between October and December. Shaw thinks a successful run could have Ferguson poised for title contention within six or so fights.

arrrgh Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 That's one way to check those pesky leg kicks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/933324-kimbo-slice-leaving-mma-for-boxing/#findComment-593082604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElite Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I don't know why he didn't do this before going for a career in MMA. Boxing is his thing.

gnuman Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 It makes the most sense. Well look at Tank Abbott as well when he was on the ground he was finished he couldn't fight. Just like Kimbo.

aessap Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I doubt he will do any better in boxing than he did in MMA. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/933324-kimbo-slice-leaving-mma-for-boxing/#findComment-593098362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nubs Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 He will do worse in boxing. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/933324-kimbo-slice-leaving-mma-for-boxing/#findComment-593104282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathefeare Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 From what I remember he didn't exactly light the world on fire with his stand up either. Pizelli? clocked him and Roy Nelson tagged him good as well. Not exactly elite level strikers those two. He will be eaten alive in boxing.

+StevoFC MVC Posted September 2, 2010 MVC Share Posted September 2, 2010 His knees are way too bad to do MMA. I hope he wins a couple fights, but I doubt he will go far.
