'King Kong' Wants a Slice of Kimbo
By Carlos Garcia
After watching Kimbo Slice win his third straght MMA fight, New York Heavyweight Carlos "King Kong" Garcia has called out The beastlike Kimbo, and will fight him at his own game.
Carlos, who has a 19-1 professional record says, "After seeing that bum fight on national television that I will knock out Kimbo in any style of fight he wants. All I ask is that I am giving 90 days notice to practice up on my martial arts. It's a known fact that MMA is going to be allowed in New York in the next few months, as Madison Square Garden is pushing hard for it."
King Kong is 240 pounds and Kimbo is 260. Garcia, who is getting married in July, said, "Part of training for someone with the skills of Slice would be his honeymoon. I will spend more time rolling around on the ground with my wife than I will knock this phoney into the third row. They are looking to promote Kimbo in the Garden. Well, here I am a New York fighter of Puerto Rican descent and it would pack Madison Square Garden."
Continuing, he said, "And I promise you this: I will destroy this pretender and will not come into the ring nor leave with my ears looking like Dumbo the Elephant and if I don't destroy him within three rounds they can have my boxing license back."
