I hope I'm not the only one looking forward to this fight.. and glad to hear that Kimbo is moving down to LHW. It's a good move for him. It may not be a "superfight" against the best fighters in the world.. but it's going to be a very good stand up brawl. I don't see this fight going past the 1st round.

I think Houston is going to pound his ass. Kimbo is not used to cutting weight and will gas, Houston is also a better pure striker as well IMO and has KO power too

I think you could be right. Kimbo needs to watch out for Houston's knees, and Houston is much faster... but I'm not ruling out a possible Kimbo victory. I think it really depends on who has been training more lately.. and how much Kimbo has grown since his The Ultimate Fighter.

I predict... KOTN bonus for Houston.

Easy win for Alexander even though this is the best possible match up for Kimbo, Kimbo's just bad.

kimbo's boxing is leaps and bounds past houston's. it'd be a good idea if houston leg kicked his way to a take down in this.

unless the ufc tells him to keep it standing... lol

I did hear something about Kimbo training with Greg Jackson somewhere, but even he can't turn a turd into a gold nugget
