12-08-2009 03:45 PM:Kimbo Slice answered some questions with his Saturday win over Houston alexander. He more than competed with a guy who beat Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara. The fight was at a catch weight of 215 pounds and Kimbo fought at 212. With some questions taken care of, he needs to ask himself if he's going to be more effective all the way at 205 or back at his walking weight of 230.
If he goes to 205, he's got to one of the stronger light heavyweights out there. He tossed around Alexander with ease. But with the drop down means more athletic opponents. Is Kimbo's standup defense solid enough to protect against fat hands and lots of kicks?
From the talk in The Ultimate Fighter house, Kimbo wasn't overwhelmed from a strength point when it came to the clinch game when it came to guys who were 240 to 265 pounds. His speed play a lot better against the lumbering strikers in the heavyweight division. But there seems to be many more heavyweights who have a good wrestling and ground base.
Brandon Vera is one guy who's actually seen the playing field evened by going down with the 205ers.
Cagewriter and Kevin Iole broke down Kimbo's future and also looked at the aftermath of the Jon Jones-Matt Hamill fight.
Where does Kimbo belong? With the big boys or at 205?
