I wouldn’t count Tank out, he has some serious power and a brawlers mentality.
One things for sure, don’t expect tank to run scared like Bo Cantrell. I hope i never see that guy fight again.
Cardio isn’t going to be a factor, this fight isn’t going past the first round.

Cage I gotta disagree with you on this one…My feeling is that Kimbo has the possibility to be the real deal but this fight means nothing. Yes Tank has A-bombs for hands but he is over the hill and hasn’t face a real opponent since the 90’s, beside the fact that he still has a losing record. In my opoinion If Kimbo wins it does not prove anything except that he beat an old fighter who is past his prime condition and shape wise and if he loses I believe it will expose Kimbo to in fact not be the real deal…because If Kimbo is smart he will still obviously fight stand up but should be weary of Tank’s power…I would love to see Kimbo take it to the ground where he could have an advantage if he has been working hard on his jiu jitsu and wrestling

I agree with both of you guys. Tank has a punchers chance to put Kimbo down. But for all I know Kimbo may have the chin of Dan Henderson, he’s never really been tested. One thing is for certain, having a beard that thick is very good for nulling grazing blows and it offers a small cushion.
Brandon, I think Kimbo is the real deal too. I think he takes this fight and I’m going to Bodog right after this and putting my money down.

I was just trying to say that, don’t count out Tank…..
I sill think Kimbo has about a 90% chance of destroying him.
Especially after seeing how huge Tanks gut looked at the weigh-ins.
