Ding, Ding, Ding




If you're a consistent viewer of YouTube, you understand the whole idea of people getting noticed for their skills and going future in life with the right publication. One of the biggest things for me as a YouTube viewer and a kickboxing fan was seeing Kimbo Slice go from backyard brawls to fighting on national television.

As long as I've been viewer of YouTube i always found myself watching video's of Kimbo fighting illegally to make money and living out of a car in the streets. I watched his struggles and consistency of his winning fights. He was a tough guy and let people know this. There weren't many people who were willing to fight him after they noticed what he was capable of, but this was his way out. He had no skills that he thought were worthy but his fighting skills and that is why he is where he is today.

After his time and time again consistency of fighting and winning and continuing this same circle over and over again he was noticed. MTV's Big from Rob & Big was his sponsor and they took him where he only imagined he'd go. Seeing the skills and determination of this fighter they helped Kimbo Slice become what he is today and even at his older age, he still has more to grow and there will always be more to come from Kimbo Slice.

This isn't for the promotion of street fighting, this is a representation of struggle and determination. Kimbo Slice was down and out with everything, wondering where his next meal was coming from and today he doesn't have to worry anymore. The violence in this video is not prohibited however this was his way.
