Thanks 4 that ,well he did hit him but he could have held out a little longer

Answer 2

It certainly didn't look like a proper hit to me. Bo Cantrell seemed to give up before the fight started!
Still, you can't deny that Kimbo has the potential to knock people out with even glancing blows. He's all power!

Blu Cantrell would have probably done better.

My conclusion is that he didn't throw the fight. He was just unprepared. Went down very easily for an ex marine!

Answer 3

I said the same thing once I saw the replay...

Bo started tapping as soon as he hit the mat! If you watch the replay you can even see that the upper cut hit his chest (not his chin) and the final hit behind the ear was not a solid hit.

I think Bo was paid to take a quick fall to help build up the hype for Kimbo.
I don't doubt the damage he can do with a punch but it will be interesting to see what he can do against a MMA fighter with some pride.

Answer 4

He came in on short notice, and there was a big scary black man unloading on him, if he had it on him he probably would have given him his wallet too!

Answer 5

bo looked like he was just there for the paycheck and not get hurt. winning was not the priority.

Answer 6

CAN!!

Answer 7

There's a GIF on Sherdog (I almost said Sherdong TEEHEE!!!) that clearly shows the uppercut hit his armpit, and the elbow barely touch his head. Then he tapped as soon as he touched the floor. Ever need a reason why the UFC doesn't pay huge amounts to nobodies? Here's why. Cantrell probably got more in his base check to not train and tap out than any unaired fighter on a UFC card would get paid to fight his heart out for a spot on the roster, and get a good bonus for his efforts. Work for your money for sexual intercourses sake.

Answer 8

I don't think it was a drop. Bo just seemed like he wasn't prepared for the fight at all and that he was just overwhelmed by everything. Other then that he just didn't want to be in the cage in the first place. However, it seemed as if Kimbo was really disappointed after the fight, because I think after all that trainning he did he at least wanted Bo to be an actual challenge.
