Thompson would have been an easy win if he just went out there swinging right of the bat. He made a big mistake and exposed his weakness on the ground. Power don't mean shit when your lungs fail. You become useless, I know this from my early days of wrestling.
You could see the how they really wanted kimbo to win if that was in the ufc they would have stopped the fight when thompson was landing puches on kimbo for a minute straight and a premature stoppage
