Yeah Shamrock is a joke anymore. Still a good fight for Kimbo though, because if they had him fight Rogers or someone along those lines he more than likely would be murdered. Shamrock is washed up, but is still a name and will bring some attention. He's also usually good for a laugh and pre-fight hype. I still break out, "I'll beat you into living death" occasionally. Classic lines.
The guy got knocked out by Sakuraba. I love Sakuraba, but he's not someone who is prone to ko'ing people on the feet. I think this is a pretty safe bet for Kimbo. I can't remember the last time Shamrock looked good. Probably against Fujita before he threw in the towel. That was something like 7-8 years ago.
