Win lose of draw, it is clear that Kimbo Slice was exposed on May 31, 2008. He clearly does not have the ground game or even the standup that we’ve been led to believe.

In Kimbo’s defence, in the post fight interview he admitted that he still has a lot to learn.

Kimbo won the fight, by ref stoppage, but I believe it was stopped one punch too early. Thompson was in similar trouble a couple of times in the first two rounds, but managed to gut through it and take Kimbo down.

I had James Thompson ahead on both of the first two rounds and at one point landed about 50 unanswered punches on the ground.

June 1st (tomorrow) is the big WEC fight between Jens Pulver and Uriah Faber, this site will post WEC results. Also, next week (June 7th) is UFC 85, UFC 85 results will also be posted here.
Kimbo Slice - the -600 favorite - was up next. James Thompson (+400) would be going up against Kimbo.

This was the toughest challenge ever for Kimbo as Thompson got the best of him throughout much of round one. For the first time in his heavyweight career, Kimbo Slice has gone past the first round.
Kimbo was in major trouble in the second round, down and getting pounded. This was unfamiliar territory for the former street brawler. Thompson easily won the second round after Kimbo came out swinging at the start. This one was heading into the third round.
In the end, Kimbo managed to win at the top of the third round (38 seconds) by way of technical knockout. Great fight. Question was whether this was ended prematurely. Kimbo Slice improved to 3-0. It was a controversial decision.

Robbie Lawler vs Scott Smith (middleweight title)
After a fantastic two and a half rounds, Robbie Lawler pokes Smith in the eye (not on purpose) and the fight is stopped. Both fighters wanted to continue, but the Dr decided that Smith could not continue.
Robbie Lawler retains the EliteXC middleweight belt.
