well, putting Tim and Kimbo on TuF would boost the rating pretty high. but the two should be coaches, they shouldn't take the insult of being a participant. TuF participants if for up and comers in MMA and it's a bunch of crap that Danna would pull that crap. But, with Tim, with being knocked out, he should get the standard suspension time just like everyone else. But, there was aboslutly know reason why the ABC should'nt of alllowed that fight to go as a traditional boxing match. Just have a ABC rep there, there both pro fighters and should of been alowed to do a sanction pro-boxing bout.
I've seen this happen several times were a pro MMA practitioner tries a pro boxing match and get his ass handed to him in nothing flat. One example is when Tommy Morrison fought Cory Williams, Tommy stomped his butt in about a minute. I was going to corner for some kid that was 6 and 4 for MMA, tried a pro boxing match against someone that was supposed to be slightly slow that had 3 pro bouts, and he got stomped in a minute 30 seconds. He wasn't one of my boys though, my boys fight harder than that.
The thing is, if your going to bounce back and forth between the arts, you gotta up your game in those arts. And you have to realise that most your pro boxers might have well over 200 amateur boxing bouts and when you go from MMA to boxing, you train like your going to fight for a chamption ship.
Tim, he does have desant defensive skills thats good for boxing and MMA, but for boxing he deffenatly need to get his speed up, which is more difficult for the taller guys. He may need to add to his boxing coaching staff, or at the least by my book.
if he wants to create a career in boxing, I think he can do it, but he needs to learn how to get his hands up to speed
