Kimbo Slice to Face Former MMA Fighter Mike Glenn in Boxing Match on March 24th

Youtube Sensation/UFC vet/pornstar confidant Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson will be looking to improve his professional boxing record to 4-0 come March 24th, when he welcomes former MMA fighter Mike Glenn to the boxing world at the O’Reilly Center in Springfield, Missouri in a card dubbed Fight Night Returns.

Since being ousted from the UFC following a second round TKO loss to Matt Mitrione at UFC 113 and subsequently calling it a day on his MMA career, Slice has scored three straight victories inside the boxing ring, the first two of which came via brutal one punch knockout inside the first round. It appeared as if the future Spike TV host was destined for WBA dominance, until he ran into personal fitness trainer and boxing newbee Charles Hackmann. Although Hackmann came into the bout on just a day’s notice, he managed to make it the distance with Kimbo and nearly finished him in the second round. The win, to say the least, was not impressive.

But fret not, Kimbo will be looking to silence that haters in his next bout, when he takes on Mike Glenn, a 5-6 MMA fighter making his professional boxing debut. It’s kind of sad to say this, but Glenn is without a doubt Slice’s toughest opponent to date. I mean, the man has only one TKO loss on his MMA record, and it was due to doctor’s stoppage, so we know he isn’t as KO-prone as the other gentlemen K. Ferg has faced. And that’s saying something, right? Anyone?

Though his record is less than impressive, Glenn does own a submission via armbar win over legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, as well as a win under a major promotion–a first round TKO over Lee “Manimal” Brosseau at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu 2. No joke, Glenn’s last fight took place at the same venue that will hold his big debut, under an event titled Slay Marketing – Champions Collide: A Fight for the Kids. You cannot make that shit up.

So what say you, Potato Nation, will Slice improve to 5-0? Or will Glenn prove to be too much for him?

You know, I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this happen before.

While you were busy watching UFC 141, Kimbo Slice looked to improve his professional boxing record to 3-0 at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma. So far in his boxing career, the Shaws have been feeding Kimbo cans with losing records, and Kimbo has been capitalizing in devastating fashion. Friday night, however, Kimbo Slice was given his toughest test in his young boxing career in Charles Hackmann, a fitness instructor making his professional boxing debut after taking the bout on just one day’s notice.

It’s almost like the guy was brought in to lose *snickers*, yet he held his own against the former UFC fighter (sigh), almost pulling off the upset in the second round. The action wasn’t as fast-paced as Cruz vs. Johnson, yet you wouldn’t know it by how badly both fighters gassed in the third and fourth rounds. When it was all said and done, Kimbo improved to 3-0, yet had major holes in his game exposed.
