Kimbo Slice won a decision against Charles Hackmann. -- Photo via www.joplinglobe.com
It wasn't easy, but the 37-year-old former YouTube sensation and MMA fighter, Kimbo Slice is now 3-0 on his professional boxing career.
His first two bouts ended in quick knockouts, but when Slice took on Charles Hackmann, a debuting fighter who also works as a fitness trainer, things didn't exactly go the same way. He still eventually won the four round affair with the scores 39-37 across the board, but not before almost losing the fight during the second round.
After winning the first round, Kimbo began to slow down a bit before eating several hard shots that had him severely rocked and leaning to the ropes to try and recover. Hackmann, almost pulled off the upset, but unfortunately for him, those were the only significant shots he landed, as both men looked sloppy and completely exhausted on the third and fourth rounds.
It didn't look good, and it's definitely not the "injection to the heavyweight division" the Shaws were hoping for.

He's too old
Plus he was never that good to begin with; sucks because he’s a cool dude who fights an entertaining fight.

haha.
Not trying to. I actually like the guy. Seems like a genuinely nice dude, and it’s great that he’s earning big bucks… Now, the Shaws? That’s a whole different topic.

Houston Alexander also just got charged for Child Abuse
Both him and Kimbo can’t be faded though.

The cops have officially faded Houston Alexander

I’m sure the next opponent Kimbo faces will likely do the same..

You’re the only dude on BE who could write, “Can I get an amen?” and get fifty replies saying Amen along with 75 recs. I don’t know who’s in second place, but he’s miles away in your rearview.

Jesus?

Well, good for him for winning
I mean, the guy is a cool dude, he’s got a cool personality and just seems like an all around pretty nice guy.
He wasn’t a great MMA fighter and I doubt he’ll be a great boxer. But boxing is what he is doing now…so here’s hoping he has as much success, or makes as much money, as possible.
Good for him.

I notice that @JaredRyanShaw has not commented on this fight on Twitter.
Beau Dure - January 1, 2012
same here.
I checked immediately cause he always says some silly stuff after Kimbo bouts, but complete silence from the guy so far.
Anton Tabuena - January 1, 2012
Fitness trainer to who?
Walruses? That guy is out of shape.

Whats with the poor camera work? I thought a quality fight like this would be on pay per view.
