    Thinking back now, they probably should of just scrapped the fight after Shamrock got hurt. Having him fight Petruzelli was lose/lose. If he would of won people would of just said "Meh whatever he beat some no name" but he lost, badly. Now they can't even spin it to say "Yeah, Kimbo lost to a MMA legend in Ken Shamrock, he just needs to tweak his game and train harder"

    I think the fix was in.

    All the bare knuckle fights and punches this guy took, and he gots rocked by a falling away jab? I smell serious BS.

    to what gain do they benefit from his loss?
    you couldn't even bet on the fight due to the late change in fighters.

    They can now market Seth as "Rocky" and market how is Kimbo going to recover from his first loss?

    good news is, it the event did almost as well as the first broadcast.. bad news is, it did more poorly in the ratings than freaking COPS!
    the funny part is, you may have seen Kimbo on both broadcasts!!! :D
