Nut Shot: Just Another Lame Excuse by Kimbo Slice Fans

This is a response to an article I read earlier today, that I believe has zero legitimacy.

There seems to be controversy surrounding whether Kimbo Slice's fall was a result of him getting kicked in the nuts in his fight with Seth Petruzelli last night that ended in a MMA record 14 seconds. 

My problem is that the controversy is only the result of a bad angled replay of the video.

To watch the fight, visit this Youtube post.

The mistake that people seem to be making is that they don't watch the entire youtube video.

Around 4:33, a different video angle is shown that completely refutes this argument.

Although his foot does seem to tap his pants near the groin area, the video clearly shows that the knockdown was undoubtedly a result of Petruzelli's right hook.

This is another prime example of people making excuses for Kimbo Slice. But out of all the excuses I've ever heard, this has got to be the most far-fetched one.

It's time for all Slice Fans to face reality and realize that he's over-hyped as an MMA fighter.

But there are still Slice fans who won't admit the truth and will look for anything as desperate as a phanton nut shot to defend Slice.
