Seth Petruzelli May Have Ko’d CBS’s Elite XC
Seth Petruzelli’s win last night over hyped and undefeated street-fighter Kimbo Slice may have just KO’d CBS’s Elite XC. As their cash cow, Kimbo was not expected to lose last night…but he did and now things aren’t looking very credible for Elite XC. It’s ok with me though. I have yet to be able to watch Elite XC and really be in to it, especially after so many people called BS on Kimbo’s last win. Dan Wetzel at Yahoo! Sports said it’s "Final Curtain For The Kimbo Show", here are a few excerpts from Wetzel’s report:
It came crashing down Saturday courtesy of a quick punch from a pink-haired journeyman giving up two inches in height, four in reach and 30 pounds in muscle and might.
One simple shot sent Slice to the canvas and from there some guy named Seth Petruzelli needed just 12 punches and 14 seconds to put an end (we hope) to one of the great sporting charades of all time.
It was just a matter of time before Kimbo got exposed. He was little more than a character out of central casting, a bunch of addictive YouTube videos and a lot of insane hype by CBS, which made him a headliner before he made himself a fighter.
Kimbo was KTFO by a guy he absolutely towered over yet was willing to bang with him anyway. Not that Kimbo did any banging. Slice charged him (“He was like a truck,” Petruzelli said) but he never actually landed a punch.
In the end, Kimbo’s hand speed, defense and chin proved incapable against even an average mixed martial artist. Which was pretty much what every hardcore fan had predicted.
So what’s the future of Slice look like now? I’m sure there will be more fights in the future, but Elite XC should really think about investing in some more new and true fighters of MMA. I’m sure people will want to see Slice fight again to see if he will lose to another undercard fighter.
Tito Ortiz was there, but I don’t enjoy watching Ortiz fight much anymore. What I do like about Elite XC is the female fights. Not because I’m some perv. that get’s off on seeing two women beat the hell out of each other, but because it’s exciting to see women that could beat the hell out of most men twice their size.
