Kimbo Slice debuto en MMA

Kevin Ferguson mejor conocido como Kimbo Slice se lleva la victoria en su debut de MMA ante el boxeador Ray Mercer.

Mucha gente se quedo con la idea de que Kimbo pelearia representando su estilo callejero de pelea, pero no, ultimamente se entreno con Bas Rutten y tambien en Extreme Couture con Randy. Lo que a mi gusto dejo de lado el objetivo principal de esta pelea tan anunciada que era ver a un peleador callejero vs un boxeador profesional peleando con reglas de MMA.

Mas boxeadores a MMA

Esta vez se trata de Tommy “The Duke” Morrison (47-3-1 y 41 ko’s) quien fue campeon Heavyweight de la World Boxing Organization al quitarle el titulo a George Foreman en 1993. Morrison se enfrentara a John Stover el 9 de junio en el Cliff Castle Casino en Arizona.

En 1995 Morrison salio positivo en VIH al tomar un examen obligatorio de la NSAC, Lo que derivo en su retiro. En el 2006 despues de alegar que los resultados de ese examen no eran correctos y que se habia hecho cuatro examenes donde salia negativo, la Comision de Boxeo del Estado de Arizona superviso otro examen, el cual resulto negativo a VIH.

Kermit Cintron en EliteXC

EliteXC esta listo para ofrecerle un contrato por tres peleas de MMA al boxeador Campeon de la IBF Kermit Cintron, informo hace unos dias Jared Shaw de EliteXC.Cintron habia expresado que si Mayweather declinaba la oferta de Dana White para pelear en UFC, el estaba listo para tomar su lugar.

EliteXC no es UFC, ni le van a ofrecer millones de dolares. Pero aun asi es una buena oportunidad para este boxeador de probarse en MMA e ir subiendo de nivel. Y asi no ser arrojado a los lobos, ya que en este momento una pelea entre Sean Sherk y el estaria muy dispareja.

Dana White comento para MMA WEEKLY acerca de los boxeadores que estan hablando de pelear en MMA y sobre Cintron.

“Boxing is in a position now where to get any notoriety they have to come out and say they’re going fight our guys. Not Floyd (Mayweather), Floyd’s the real deal.”

The UFC President also doubts that these boxers really want to fight MMA at all. Addressing whether or not Mayweather would really agree to such a fight, White stated, “No. Come on. Kermit Cintron doesn’t want to fight any of these MMA guys either. No one knows who Kermit Cintron is.”

Informed that Cintron is the current IBF Welterweight Champion, White replied, “Which means what? What does that mean? It means nothing. I mean, when they’re calling us out now, obviously it’s a good thing.” Of course referring to boxing’s numerous attempts to piggyback MMA’s popularity.

Sean Sherk y Cintron

Kevin Iole escribe para Yahoo! Sports acerca de Shean Sherk y su opinion sobre Kermit Cintron.

“But someone like Kermit Cintron? I have nothing against the guy, but I don’t know if he’d sell any tickets. I don’t think the UFC would see any value in it. I’ll fight whoever they tell me to fight, but without the guy having a recognized name, I’m not sure it is a smart fight to make.”

Leyendo el articulo completo concuerdo con Iole. No seria muy inteligente por parte de cualquier boxeador enfrentarse a una estrella de MMA como Sherk, quien es un peleador con un record muy solido de 35-2-1. En un deporte donde todo puede pasar.

Medio hermano de Tyson debuta en MMA

El boxeador Cliff “The Black Bull” Couser quien se dice es medio hermano de Mike Tyson, ya que asegura tambien ser hijo de Lorna Tyson. Debutara en MMA este sabado 12 de mayo en Fightfest.

Sean Sherk en ringside

SHERK CHASING FLOYD It’s not unusual when a fighter attends a big match and gets a seat at ringside, hoping to land a fight with the winner of the main event.

It is unusual, however, when that fighter is from a different sport.

But such will be the case Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden when mixed martial artist Sean Sherk, the UFC’s lightweight champion, will be ringside to watch Mayweather try to lift the super welterweight boxing title from De La Hoya.

Mayweather has recently made a number of critical comments about the UFC and MMA. UFC president Dana White, who along with owner Lorenzo Fertitta will also be ringside, has agreed to make it worthwhile for Mayweather to prove his point if he gets past De La Hoya.

The lightweight division in MMA has a 155-pound limit, while the super welterweight division in boxing has a 154-pound limit.

White has been irritated by Mayweather’s putdowns of MMA and has decided to challenge Mayweather to back his words.

Ignorancia en todo su esplendor

Este es sin duda el articulo mas idiota e ignorante que he encontrado acerca del boxeo y UFC. Lo escribe Mike Freeman para CBS Sportsline.

Ultimate fighting will never be as good as boxing on its worst day. Many of the ultimates are nothing but thugs and ruffians. All that league has done is take a few former nightclub bouncers, knuckle crackers and parolees, put on some fancy TV graphics and told them, “Kick the other guy in the nuts.”

Aqui algunas respuestas que ha generado este comentario

Mayweather vs Sherk

En NBC Sports estan haciendo una encuesta. Entre Floyd Mayweather y Sean Sherk quien ganaria si pelearan en el octagono?.
Mayweather lleva 8% hasta este momento. Es curioso que haya gente aunque sean unos cuantos, que crea que realmente Mayweather puede ganar.

Aqui les dejo el link para que voten. Ahi tambien a modo de comparativo hay algunas fotos de estos personajes.

Sean Sherk habla de Mayweather

Parte de una entrevista en randomspeak.com a Sean Sherk actual campeon Lightweight de UFC, en la que comenta acerca de Mayweather y nos dice como seria si se diera una pelea entre ellos.

RS: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. came out the last couple weeks completely bashing the UFC and stating that any boxer would demolish a UFC fighter in the cage. Dana White (UFC President) came back at Mayweather and named you as the guy who he’d put Mayweather up against, and that you would handle him no problem. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?

Sean: Well, you know honestly in a boxing match, of course he’d beat me in a boxing match. In an MMA fight, he would be in for a beating. I mean, he’s not going to knock me out with one punch; I’ve got a hard head and have been boxing for 13 years so it’s not like I don’t know how to box. So, he’d have to land a lot of punches to stop me from taking him down, and me being one of the best wrestlers in the sport, there’s no way he could stop me from taking him down.

I don’t think that fight would last longer than a minute, to be honest with you. And I don’t think he should be talking about something that he can’t back up, because I’ll fight him tomorrow. I literally would, if they called and asked me to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. tomorrow, it’s done. He’s not going to fight me though, and he’s just running his mouth. I don’t really respect that a whole lot.

RS: It seems like a lot of boxers are starting to fear the rise of MMA by the way they keep speaking out against it. Do you think MMA has taken over?

Sean: Well it has, the numbers for the UFC are absolutely phenomenal. The numbers are unbelievable, and it’s only getting bigger. A fight with me and Mayweather would obviously draw all the boxing fans, and after they see what happens to Floyd they would immediately jump on the UFC bandwagon and say “hey, what the hell are we watching boxing for”. So it’s a losing situation for boxing.
