Kimbo Slice wins the Heavyweight title!
Wow! Okay, so Kimbo took round 1. Rampage came out and took round 2 much more convincingly. Rampage deed beefy damage at the start of round 3, but then Kimbo came back and did even beefier damage, right near the end of round 3. Round 4, Kimbo had a very strong recovery between rounds, Rampage had a so-so recovery, and that may have made the difference. Kimbo just came out and pushed the pace and got the KO.
Rampage took good damage, but there is some beefy power behind the Kimbo's Slice. Great fight. I enjoyed. It.
