Kimbo Slice Vs. Tank Abbott

Bas Rutten spoke to Kimbo’s agent Icy Mike and it looks like the fight with legendary fighter Tank Abbott could be on yet another poo poo Elite XC card.

Kimbo wants to make it happen, Tank wants it too. It was supposed to be on October 12th and Rutten was training Kimbo and since that didn’t happen and they didn’t take it to the parking lot and Kimbo has to stop street fighting or he’ll kill someone, soooooooo, *deep breath*, it’s all on again. BOOYA. Watch the mofuggin video now freak!

Date right now is TBA but it’s gonna be on with EliteXC.

    Are you kidding me? Tank Abbott is awesome. Kimbo Slice is a pure enraged beefcake Streetfighter, like nothing you’ve EVER seen anywhere else.

    No bums there man!

    battle of the bums lmao nice one

    Alot of street talkin’ trash in that vid clip. We don’t need street fighters, we need the real professional deal here. Anyone who talks like Kimbo better watch his ass around every corner cause the streets are bigger than the cage! Keep talkin’. (no offense to anyone just my opinion)

    its not exactly fedor v randy tho russ.ha ha.tank seems 2 be the mma newcomers punch bag.i dont think proffesional mma needs a streetfighter like kimbo.its not the image the sport is after,its quite the opposite.i have respect 4 both these guys.kimbo will ko tank in first round i reckon.

  7. 7 Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Well when they do get together, Game on boys. Good luck to both no leaning one way or another for me.

    Lol true that

  12. 12 TankFan

    I just got off the phone with Tank, he doesn’t know why their fight that was supposed to happen two weeks ago got mysteriously cancelled. I do - Kimbo watched a Tank hilight reel. He can’t wait for the chance to close Slice’s mouth! All he has to do is lay a left jab on his jaw and it’s all over!!

    Goodnight Slice!

    TF

  13. 13 Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Good thing talking doesn’t count in the cage cause that’s where Kimbo would lose. Put your money where your mouth is Kimbo. Never underestimate the power of your apponent. Takes alot to put a Tank out of commission. LOL

  14. 14 scoty

    Tank is over 40 years old and is still bad ass but Iv seen him get winded real
    fast before . kimbo is in good shape and has trained hard . this will be a kick ass fight ….. I say kimbo 1 round will take it

  15. 15 Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Hard to say. But one round?? I think it may go 2nd.

  16. 16 George Adbdgwengo

    Hard to say. But one round?? I think it may go 2nd.

    lol Tank cant swing for longer than like 2 minutes then he falls down this guy needs to retire!

  17. 17 Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Yup! No leaning one way or another. Kimbo has an awfully big mouth though. Good luck to both.

  18. 18 troy

    lol kimbo might b bad on the streets but im sure he has never fought someone that can rock your entire body with a dam hook lol if tank lands a punch its good night if not he will tire out and lose.

  19. 19 Dan

    I think Kimbo is being put up against tough respectable bums. Mercer = joke now Abbott. Abbott is a damn good fighter, and its not so much he gets winded.. if he doesnt knock you out in ROund 1 i think he gets discouraged, unlike his younger days where he would KO you any time any round. Now, for a good Kimbo MMA fight, put Kimbo vs Randy ” the Natural ” Couture, Or even Gabriel Gonzanga. Hell even toss in Chuck Liddel, or Keith Jarrdien ( spelling?? )

    David ‘Tank’ Abbott, has always been one of my favorites, but see him either KOing Kimbo first round, or Kimbo KOing Abbott second round. Neither guy has alot of stamina, they are flash KO boxer fighters. and throw everything into all their punches.

    Lets not forget, Kimbo Lost! He lost to a Police officer i forgot his name. but he was from the boston police department and he knocked Kimbo down 3 times for 30 counts.

    Predictions = Tank Abbott KO Round 1. or Kimbo KO round 2.

  20. 20 Pie Face

    LOL Tank hasnt been a decent fighter for 10 years! The only outcome will be a 1ST ROUND KO Kimbo defeates Tank without trying.

  21. 21 Dan

    You obviously do not know anything about the MMA or Tank Abbott lol .. he is a decent fighter .. in the passed 2 years alone he has had 2 first round KO’s.

    Tank in 1 or Kimbo in 2…

    i for 1 am hoping Kimbo this cocky guy gets beat down early. if it is by tank then great if not .. i hope some real talent comes in, Randy couture or Gonzaga or even that assclown Randy Jackson, and take him to school.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL YOU MUST BE JOKING!

  23. 23 Dan

    I don’t see what is so funny. explain your feelings towards this. and explain why Tank is so bad and Kimbo is so good?

  24. 24 Pie Face

    I think Tank is WAY past it, granted the guy is tough but hes now what? 43? His last fight alone should have made him realise his career as a “GREAT” fighter is behind him. I dont think that Kimbo is very good but the guy will come in and look to knock tank out, I think Tank will go in hoping to survive the first minute! Take a look at Tanks last fight (vs Gary Turner at Cage Rage 21)and tell me he will KO Kimbo!

  25. 25 Dan

    Tanks only downside that i can see is because of his body structure.. he will be slower on the ground .. No i do not think Kimbo wil get a 1st round KO .. it will be a second round KO … OR …. first round submission..

    But from what im readin on all other sites .. this card and show has been cancelled indefinatly.

  26. 26 Pie Face

    OK im down with that, I heard its cancelled too but somebody will make it happen soon, im sure of that

  30. 30 Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    If I may jump in between you two for a post, LOL These two fighters have a up and down career like anyone in this sport. Sure age plays a factor, but Randy is older and more physically capable of 5 five minute rounds. Their styles are quite different in alot of ways. IF I had to put money on this (if it ever happens) It would be on Tank only because Kimbo is a talker and seems like he has more gaps in his game. Just my opinion; that’s what posts are for. I don’t think anyone claims to know everything, just strong voices. Carry on you two!!!!!

    Any word on this particular fight yet????

  33. 33 Dan

    canceled seems to be a fitting word.

    and Pie face you are proving my whole ” i can post 10 000 LOL’s ”

    you have not yet come up with on valid counter point .. instead you post blasphemes and laughter. any post i see from you im going to just skip lol.

    Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
    i totally agree each bring differences to the cage, and Kimbo is not a man to be Fux’d with .. i have seen nearly all his fights on you tube and on his website. And same with David Abbott. The only way kimbo would get Tank in 1 round is via submission.

  34. 34 ronnie

    go on u tube see kimbo get out manned by some dude named sean ..
    not to say tank isn’t old and outdated and worthless
    but
    Kimbo is a loser streetfighter for realitykings good luck against real fighters plus they’re both like 50 years old who cares

  35. 35 Trishaaaaaaaaa

    Give’m both credit for still trying though whether yah like em or yah hate’m!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  36. 36 Trishaaaaaaaaa

    Tank gets winded and Kimbo is just full of hot air. My vote if I have to is for Tank

    Yep I agree, I wouldnt watch a whole ppv just to see this fight!

  40. 40 ufcfan

    Im not sure what to take on this. Has Tank even trained for this fight?I’ll give him the ring experience,but lot of his fights he got winded in the first minute of the fight..Kimbo’s cardio is in question,and his age of starting MMA is a question as well(granted Houston Alexander got in at 35,and I think kimbo is 33).
    If Kimbo is serious about making a living out of MMA and not just a paycheck,I think he will do okay if set his mind and has the right training crew(ditch ur posse,ur MILF crew). He won’t be a BBJ expert so he needs to concentrate on ground n pound,and take-down defense,kick-boxing..thats just my opinion..
    I would love to see him fight in the UFC against brock Lesner just for shits and giggles…

    All I have to say is that I personally know Kimbo Slice, i’m not going to sit here and say he’s my best friend or anything. But I will tell you that this guy is ready right now it’s his time… Like one of his personal good friends say his soul is RED HOT, this guy has been threw so many things that not even a Tank will stand in his way on Feb. 16 in his home town of Miami. This guy is working hard, and with dedication.. Nothing will stand in his way. So Tank if your reading this, all i’m going to tell you is that if your not already a KKK member, your going to hate black people after the wooping your going to get…….

    ok we have some people here with some interesting opinions but lets get real these boys are both bad and its going to go either way ! if the fight lasts more than three minutes Kimbos conditioning will come into play if it dont they both have awesome punching power & it will boil down to who gets some early clean shots although they both have great chins Bas Rutten will educate Kimbo in some ground skills but i dont think either one would be truly satisfied with a submission! i personally cant wait for this fight im excited!!

    If Tank cant win in the first 1 minute 3o seconds hes done, his cardio is awful and he just seems to give up!

    i wonder if tank would of taken him on at the boatyard or how things would of panned out in the car park when tank was called out by kimbo this kind of reminds me of the two tough kids at school who probably were never going to fight but were kind of led into it by here say !! kimbo is a weapon does any one knw his other side ? Tank seems to be your regular guy loves to have fun a knockabout guy who just cant say no to a good fight ! if ya come to australia tank let me buy ya a beer or 15 same to you kimbo you guys are very inspiring i am tired of boys who are a shade off being women you guys are tops!! I wish our government could organise something here but there as soft as the girly boys i am talkin about !thats why i love this shit

  53. 53 StuNash

    kimbo will win, just for the simple fact that he has trained. the only way tank will win is if he drops him in the first round, which is highly unlikely as kimbo looks to have a solid chin, saying that tank abbott can bang with the best of them. just my opinion hope it doesn’t upset anybody

    Good question, I’m out here in Vancouver, BC Canada and we can’t get it either. I would luv to see this fight, I don’t think I would underestimate Kimbo, lots of REAL fighting experience and I wouldn’t be surprised if he went up against tougher competition if he beats Tank with ease. A few years ago Maurice Smith beat the hell out of Tank with his leg kicks. I think Kimbo has alot more potential than being given credit for especially if good fights come fast enough for him and he keeps winning with ease.

  66. 66 stunash

    just watched it on the tube, yeh there was a couple of illegal shots, but that was a good puch to KO Tank abbott

  67. 67 305boi

    kimbo is miami’s finest nw homey!!! I love how people who dont know him talk mad crap out hes like a bum and has no game and talks to much. Anyone and everyone knows Kimbo is actually one of the most humblest fighters with the rare heart of a true champ. Watch and see what he says to people he just laid out, he shows respect after a beatdown but aint afraid to lay it down and BANG, tru str8 from the streets brawler

    Give Kimbo a few years pro MMA and guarantee a win! Find me a better heavyweight that’ll go the distance

    […] old post is raging with comments. Meanwhile, Kimbo dropped Tank in 43 seconds, check […]

    Great to hear everyones opinion and take on things. It’s a wide range. We do however need to remember everyone has one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No bashing hear just saying that “I” think Kimbo has a big mouth. I can easily say that Tito has one too. Sorry if that offends anyone but JMO Cheers P.S. Kudos to every fighter

  71. 71 Pie Face

    Yeah he may have one it … bit how many illegal shots did it take…

    Does it really matter? Tank did nothing in the whole fight, I dont think he even wants to fight anymore, he just picks up his cash after running out of pork rinds LOL!
