Ironically, I find your logic amusing.

At the time, those statements were accurate. Kimbo, the bareknuckle boxing backyard street fighter, wouldn't have lasted a minute with most MMA fighters, any HW with even subpar wrestling and jiu-jitsu training would have beat him. We saw how scared he and his team were of anything other than boxing in the Gannon fight. In terms of MMA, he was completely one-dimensional and had no gas.

Now that he's improved himself and began seriously training MMA, things are different. But if you must do an "I told you so" on Kimbo, why not wait until a better win than Bo Cantrell or Tank Abbott?
