Tank Abbot Will Beat Kimbo Slice On 10/12

**goldengoat** · 07-02-07, 01:36 PM

tank sucks

he is a has been and never was a true MMA fighter

he has a 3 minute gas tank and only a punchers chance

if it were only a 3 minute standup fight then i would pick tank but he'll run out of gas and kimbo is more agile on the ground

my prediction is kimbo will try to take him down almost immediately again just like mercer

I like Tank, always have. He is a brawler. However, Goldengoat is right-Tank gasses quickly. Tank better train hard for this one. I would like to see him shut up Kimbo, but I don't know.

how can you not like Tank? , A Big Fat Bar Brawler with heavy hands . But im sorry guys he is old . he hasnt won a fight in a long time , He never somes in shape , he gasses out quick .
Kimbo comes in shape and is no street brawler no more training with BAS RUTTEN , he is just going to gewt better and better Tank Abbout is just a name he will take ,
My Money is on KIMBO Via First round KO or Submission [/YOUTUBE]

I don't like tank but if Kimbo stands with him he will get knocked into next week. Training with Bas I see Kimbo taking Tank down and subbing or pounding the shit out of him. Kimbo seems to be taking the route of fighting 40+ year old guys.

Because like his street fights he won't fight a skilled opponent; Gannon beat his ass when they fought at that gym. His thug life boyfriends had to jump in every 5 minutes.

This guy is a joke and should be treated like one.

I see Pinny has Kimbo as nearly a -300 favorite over Tank. If you think Tank is going to win, it's going to be a nice payday for you BBD

**colt29** · 08-17-07, 10:17 PM

Would love to see Tyson get in there and whip both there fat asses. Tyson could make good money ****ing up hasbeens like tank and some staged backyard negro.

I gotta take my chances with Tank Abbott +280. Don't you just have too at those odds?

**moses millsap** · 08-19-07, 12:59 PM

Not betting this crap, probably a set up for Kimbo, as he is way more marketable than Tank right now.

if kimbo stands and trades, those are very good odds

kimbo hits hard but his technique/defense is crap compared to a good MMA fighter...he'll get exposed badly fairly soon but tank is so over the hill it's not funny

tank can still hit hard but he's slowed down a lot and his gas tank is smaller than ever before

both guys don't belong in the same ring with todays top fighters

**moneyplays** · 09-02-07, 10:02 PM

I have been watching the cage fighting/ufc/mma since it ever started. Tank has always been one of my favorite fighters. Regardless if he wins or loses it will be entertaining. I can't wait to see it and of course I will be cheering for tank. I've seen kimbo's fights. Nothing special.

9 more days until Tank Abbot crushes Kimbo

**BatemanPatrickl** · 09-06-07, 10:57 AM

I hope Kimbo gets knocked the fu(k out!

I agree. Kimbo is building up a resume so he can get a real fight. When that fight comes bet against him good. He has only fought slobs and that stand-off was out of a wwf screen play.

**GetMoney** · 09-11-07, 10:25 PM

a video of tank abbot beating a horrible un skilled fighter 10 years ago is a horrible way to support your betting claims

tank himself admitted he dosent even train or care about winning becuase people give him 6 figures to show up based on his name

kimbo has been trianing with good camps and has high intentions of being a good fighter, kimbo is also smart enough to know not to let his ego get the best of him and will take tank down and submit him or g&p him out, proof of this is his submission victory over former pro boxer ray mercer

**rugbybdyb** · 09-15-07, 12:23 AM

Love Tank....He is awesome when he starts laying the hay makers.....his gas tank may be small, but he has the heart as long as it doesnt go to the ground he has a shot....

**goldengoat** · 09-15-07, 12:14 PM

abbott has no heart

he has balls to get in there but if it gets to tough for him, he will quit and not try to fight through it

he has always been this way

see tank vs vitor or tank vs mo smith for examples

**y2p731** · 09-16-07, 03:08 PM

Tank Abbott is way past his prime. Kimbo is training with Bas Rutten. He's beginning to become a more complete fighter.

**bigboydan** · 10-10-07, 07:06 PM

2 More days to go before Tank Abbot crushes Kimbo Slice.

**moneyplays** · 10-10-07, 11:58 PM

Hey I heard that you can't watch this on tv that it is only online. Is this true? I did a quick browse on directv I didn't see anything.

**jrcaces** · 10-11-07, 12:02 AM

wasn't the fight canceled?

**BigBollocks** · 10-11-07, 12:45 AM

The president of cage fury fighting put out a press release about a week ago saying that his primary investor backed out, and that he was forced to cancel the event because he stood to lose money. Needless to say Kimbo is furious.

You'd wonder how one investor was able to throw this whole thing off a week before the event was to take place, and also wonder if Tank or Kimbo have any legal recourse as they surely spent a lot of money training, hiring crews, and already traveling for the fight.

It sucks as this was a really intriguing fight that a lot of us had looked forward to for awhile...
