Slice Annihilates Debut Opponent!

Last night, on a card promoted by Gary Shaw Productions and Tony Holden Promotions at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma, Street Certified fighting legend Kimbo Slice made a very impressive debut in professional boxing, as he knocked opponent James Wade completely unconscious with a right hook/uppercut in just 10 seconds.

 

Slice, the former MMA star who gained notoriety with his brutal You Tube-posted street fights, moved his record to 1-0, 1 KO with a punch that left poor Wade draped over the bottom rope like linguine. Paramedics and on-site medical staff were able to revive Wade after a few minutes.

 

Reminiscent of the "hookercut" that made former heavyweight contender Razor Ruddock famous, Slice brought a half hook/half uppercut to the chin of Wade and he was out before he hit the canvas. "I don't feel like I got completely under the punch," said a humble slice, post-fight. "I don't give myself a good performance in there, but I'm serious about making a run in boxing and I'm headed right back to camp in California."

Whatever anyone's opinion on Kimbo Slice - there is no way you can fault a 10 second brutal knockout in your debut!!! I think Kimbo is over 40 years old starting a boxing career, not sure what he can accomplish in the time he's got left but will be interesting to find out. I think any interest in him (which started with those infamous youtube street fights) is more 'circus curiosity sideshow' rather than a real boxing contender.

I like Kimbo as he is a character and it'll be interesting to see how this develops. He's always been a puncher but had stamina problems. In one sense he has alot to learn about boxing so shouldn't be rushed but age is not on his side.

 

Loved those Youtube street fights years ago, and on that basis, I will watch his boxing career with intrigue (like I previously described as a 'circus sideshow'). It's a shame he didn't enter the boxing ring instead of wasting a few years messing around with MMA....... as now, over 40, it's difficult to see what he can achieve. Due to his infamous name, he may get a title shot earlier than most but sadly will not have the ring experience he'd need to win...... but who knows?

I think he's the same age as us, mate. So, still in his prime. grin//

 

I loved all the Street fights and I even watched Ultimate Fighter - Heavyweight because he was in it. He walked through Ray Mercer in MMA aswell.

He seems like he's more naturally a boxer rather than MMA fighter - will enjoy watching him box.
