Kimbo Slice: Garden Fighter

"Then I seen see the punches coming, it was like telegraphic. That's like a Tylenoid gift."

One of the greatest quotes of all time, which could only come from someone who makes a living by getting his head battered regularly.




The kids love Kimbo Slice, he is an internet phenomena, he became one after posting videos of illegal fights between himself and rather less imposing opponents.

His first fight video has almost 3.4 million views, while his others have reached the half a million mark.

Few other Youtubers have enjoyed similar success such as he and in less than 3 years Kimbo moved up, from backyard fights to appearances on the Jimmy Kimmel show and a few magazine features.

Kimbo’s success can only lead the emerging Youtubers reach one conclusion, if gaining as much notoriety on the website is your main purpose, don’t try the clever videos of edits, remixes or diaries.
Instead, go to a garden and fight someone, the only resulting risks may be the inability to speak in later life and naming one of your children Kevlar.

Apparently Kimbo Slice is also the creator of his self promoting website, making him one of the few bare-knuckle boxers with the ability of using templates.
