Rip kimbo slice. And sometimes you have to let your kids fail in life so they know how to overcome adversity because dady is not gonna be there forever.
Yeahhhh, not so sure that parental philosophy ever leads to having one's teenage daughter commuting to high school from a homeless shelter. I'm not even going to harp on this because he passed but it's just rich that the narrative of the guy being some great family man and that being interesting because it was opposite of his image is just fodder for lazy journalists and wannabe Mr. Miami's like Cohen and Lebatard. Bottom line- this guy didn't really accomplish anything beyond building a fake image as a dangerous fighter and entertaining some people with YouTube clips. Let's not be too overwhelmed that another "legend" died within a week of freakin' Ali.
Oh well, I guess I did harp on it. My bad.
you sound like a hater ..my man
Not hating, my man. I'm completely ambivalent on Kimbo personally as I didn't know him beyond what I was told first hand about his teenage daughter. What I hate are false narratives advanced by people in the media and those of us that want to feign sympathy or sadness when something bad happens to someone we didn't know. And of courrrrrrrse Cohen and Lebatard were all over this. I'm actually surprised Grandpa Luke wasn't too but I may have missed that noise.
