Yea it is old news but on topic of those looking for real fight videos, it popped into my head so I found the vid.


A little background

Sean "The Cannon" Gannon is a Boston, Massachusetts police officer, and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, who gained notoriety on the Internet after video of him defeating underground street fighter and part time bodyguard Kimbo Slice in a bare-knuckle fight became widely distributed.

This notoriety lead him to be the focus of a front page article on the Boston Herald, and an internal Boston Police investigation into his off-hours activities. The incident also caught the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, who then promoted a fight between him and professional mixed martial arts fighter Branden Lee Hinkle. Although Gannon defeated Kimbo Slice, a street brawler without any martial arts training, he quickly lost to Hinkle at UFC 55. Currently, Gannon has a professional MMA record of 1-1 and hasn't fought since losing to Hinkle.

Gannon is also a former Golden Gloves boxer and a state judo champion.

In Boston the Rodney King video would have been handled as soft news.

That was brutal to Kimbo. His own guys coudn't even believe he'd lose one and so kept him going to the point of humiliation.

I can't wait until MMA titlefight prizes get bigger than NFL or NBA paydays, so there can be no doubt who the biggest most badass dudes in the world are -the guys that step into the ring and walk out with the ($50 million or whatever) prize.

Kimbo Slice Makes MMA Debut on June 16th Against Mercer

NEW YORK - Ray Mercer, a former WBO heavyweight boxing champ and gold medalist in the 1988 Olympics, will take on no-knuckle boxing and Internet legend Kimbo Slice in a three-round exhibition bout utilizing professional MMA rules at the Cage Fury Fighting Championship 5 show, said matchmaker Gary Marino today. Dubbed “Brawl at the Hall”, CFFC 5 will take place on June 16th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey .


“I’m very, very excited,” said Marino. “I’ve been working on trying to get Kimbo a fight for the last year. He’s a great draw, and he’s got a huge following for his fights.” Marino added: “Ray Mercer was at the Cage Fury Fighting Championship 3 show and speculated that he’d like to try [MMA], and he called me a couple weeks ago asking me to get him a fight. It’s perfect for both guys, for their style and who they are. Kimbo’s a big banger and so is Mercer.”


Known for their heavy-hands and raw power, this will be the first time either man has fought under full MMA rules though Slice purportedly has been training in the sport for some time now at Miami ’s Freestyle Fighting Academy . However, the former boxing champ, who lost his WBO belt to Wladimir Klitschko in 2002 before stepping into the ring for Japan’s K-1 promotion in 2004 and 2005, will likely enter the cage ready to defend the takedown should the need arise.


Said Marino: “Ray Mercer told me he has a bit of a wrestling background, and he’s aware Kimbo has been training down in Florida . He’s been talking about MMA for a while now… so he’ll be prepared.”


With this bout, Mercer will become the highest-profile boxer to have taken the MMA plunge. “It’s very, very intriguing. I think it’s a fantastic fight,” said Marino. “Ray Mercer is definitely going to be the hardest hitter Kimbo has ever faced… I think if they both stand in front of each other, someone is definitely going to get knocked out.”

The only problem is that he's 0-286 with that fighting style.

Mercer-Kimbo doesn't seem like a fair 1st professional bout for Kimbo. Like he's being set up to be Mercer's patsy.

Tyson-Kimbo would be an interesting starting point.
