Street Fighting: Kimbo Slice vs. Sean Gannon

With all the talk about Kimbo Slice's upcoming fight against Ken Shamrock, some people suggested that a rematch against Sean Gannon ("Bear" as he was tagged at the time in the underground videos) would have been a good fight.

Sean Gannon was Kimbo's only "loss" in his internet street fighting record, though there were some questions about fighting tactics and rule interpretation. Gannon, a police officer, stood with Kimbo and gave him his toughest test at this stage of his career. Gannon then went on to a one-fight UFC career, getting manhandled in his only Octagon appearance.

Kimbo gasses fairly early in this fight, and I actually walked away pretty impressed by the heart he showed by continually putting up a fight despite his body clearly telling him to quit.

K1: Gary Goodridge vs. Kengo

Another K-1 match from the Gary Goodridge files. In this matchup, he squares off against Kengo. This fight goes down something like Kimbo vs. Afro Puff.

That was Ray Mercer, former heavyweight boxing champion. He was just way past his prime. Way more than you think Ken Shamrock is right now.

This is a glimpse of his boxing career, in a match against another heavyweight champ, Tommy Morrison, who you probably saw (and wish you'd forgotten) in Rocky V.

K1: Peter Aerts vs. Francois Botha

This is an intriguing match in that Francois Botha was once a heavyweight boxing contender. He had a memorable match with Mike Tyson, where he employed the two-handed "vice" punch.

In fact, it was Francois Botha vs. Mike Tyson where "Iron Mike" introduced his entrance music by DMX, which has now been adopted by Chuck Liddell.
