Kimbo Slice (The Black Rocky)

Since Saturdays CBS showing of the Kimbo Slice fight the media has had its share of words for Kimbo and fans of the MMA. First lets discuss what was said about Kimbo. Kimbo has been called an armature, no one picked him to lose the fight, which he won, and still they have said that Kimbo possesses no skill. Not to mention people love to say that he has fought no bodies, ok well, if Kimbo is a nobody and he is fighting Nobodies and destroying them in fights isn't it safe to say he isn't a NObody after all, and would it be to much to accept he possesses some small, minute even, molecule of skill? Also Kimbo's life story has been brought up and discussed, and I have heard some radio personalities and other media members bring up the fact that Kimbo was homeless (this is when the comparison to Rocky "the Italian Stallion" Balboa was conceived) and how he became a bouncer for a porn series title "In The VIP"http://inthevip/ (stop looking at PORN!!) this is a family site, anyways back on topic....and they are sorta only talking about things that are negative in an of themselves. After they tell this coming of age tale they follow by asking how we (the media and viewers of the media) can make this man a hero, I assume they consider wanting a man who had next to nothing who is now making legit money, instead of illegal, and if legal sketchy, backyard bare knuckle brawls, and who is also no longer partaking in illegal activities such as smoking Marijuana

But I found this odd because the whole rocky thing was still in my head ya know and I started thinking hey Kimbo's sorta like Rocky.

THE RUN DOWN:

Rocky was homeless, well poverty stricken to say the least. He's considered a hero, a true underdog story, and Americans loves underdogs.

Kimbo was homeless. Yet, for him he is just seen as another homeless man who didn't contributing to society, or something, look they just try to say since he was homeless that thats bad and he shouldn't be cheered for, the MEDIA HATES BLACK ROCKY!!!!

Rocky, not considered to have any skill, never would he defeat the best.

Kimbo, only said to have beaten "tomato's"

I don't know what merit my thoughts and theories have but its funny how during Katrina there was a picture of a black boy moving through the water with a bag of stolen groceries, the caption for the picture read Black teen looting, and in a different paper a picture of a white women and man was taken as they moved through the water with a bag of STOLEN!!!! groceries and the Headline read, Two residents Struggle to Survive!!!
