For those that keep saying that Tank will not be able to stand up to the strength of Kimbo this video shows just how strong Tank Abbott is. |
This video is a little old and has been around for quite a while but Tank still lifts weights as part of his training routine.
Poor form tank, poor form
Bench Press doesn’t mean crap. Especially 1 Rep. Just see what happened with Houston Alexander against Thiago Silva. Tank Abbot is still gonna get decimated.
lol.
first of all. blackgerbil1, thats NOT poor form. in other words. its good form…
second of all, can you do anywhere near 600lbs…i thought so.
third of all, ERIK, its obvious that you dont lift weights. so go try to bench the bar. usually its 45 lbs. tell me if u can even do 10 rreps of 1 set, idiot.
you guys dont even know crap about whay your talking about.
i personally think that the abbot vs. kimbo fight will be awesome.
Everybody knows that in MMA it doesnt mean shit!
I think it will be a good fight if they stay on ther feet.
im 180lbs and i bench 350lbs and im still growing
Anyone who lifts in pounds is a speng anyway, fat yank
gonna get banged, stallinnnnnnnnnnnn!!
Liftin 600 pounds dont mean jack, still get 1 shot lick of t his jawside
He’s amazing strong,Pity he has no technique or fighting skills otherwise he might be a threat.
Kimbo has very little skill too though so hopefully it might be a good punch up but that will be about it…a punch up.
I’m still picking kimbo to KO tank in the first.
Lol john great insult. Ya I guess you’re right I don’t do powerlifting like the roided out fat ass faggots like you that litter the gym. If you actually think bench does shit watch a handful of Tank’s fights – he sucks. There are better work outs out there. Just watch any MMA fighter’s workout plan. Almost none of them include bench press (and if they do it’s sure as hell more than 1 rep maxing).
“For those that keep saying that Tank will not be able to stand up to the strength of Kimbo this video shows just how strong Tank Abbott is”
Annnnd …….. Tank is 1-7 in his last 8 fights? He was smashed on by Vitor back in ‘97, so obviously the weights didn’t help him then and for sure aren’t helping him now for him to be 9-13 overall and 1-7 since 1998. Hey Tank, GO LIFT MORE! LOL!!!
Kimbo by KO 1st round!
this means nothing. tank will still die by kimbo’s hand.
That JOHN guy is pretty judgmental towards the other posters isn’t he? Anyways of course physical strength is important in MMA but so is quickness and agility 2 things that Tank Abbot does not possess and frankly never has. I haven’t seen much of Kimbo Slice but he does seem to have good strength and above average hand speed. Hopefully it will be a good fight but I doubt it will be.
It just shows you how hard Tank Abbott can hit. None of these guys have ever lifted before thats pretty obvious. How can you say that was poor form. You guys know absolutely nothing about benching. I hope Tank knocks out Kimbos overrated ass.
How come Tank gave the finger to MMA TKO?
Story? Admin: He had a beer or 12 during the event. He was handing them out left and right.
So John, according to your flawed logic, Tank should have a chance because he can bench 600lbs? Who knows, maybe Tank can now bench 650, and then he can totally decimate Kimbo!!!
What Erik was probably meaning, is that just because he can bench 600, doesn’t mean crap in an MMA fight. It sure as hell doesn’t take years of his life off, either. Just look at the other video of Tank’s fight, he was able to bench 600 at the time…
Kimbo will still knock him out!
First of all, I think that Gerbil saying it was poor form was more of a joke, and just being funny. A lot of you bicker about really stupid things…
Yes I have heard that the guy can bench a lot, I heard that ten years ago… SO WHAT. Yea, he’s incrediby strong, and has heavy hands, but he gasses so quick. Kimbo is going to wreck this guy. If anyone of you might have seen, Tank has done nothing but badmouth, and act like Kimbo is a piece of trash. You can check out the youtube video of his little “play”, or even how he disrespected Kimbo after the mercer fight. Kimbo is going to be ready.. and It’s just a fight that brings a lot of fans, but once the bell rings, hands are gonna be flying, and Tank is gonna wake up to the lights on the ceiling. Choked out or knocked out, Watch…
umm guys i think your missing the point, this whole thing was to prove that tank can stand up to kimbo’s strenght, it was only to prove that hes strong not agile not his skill just strenght its to prove to all those guys saying that kimbo STRENGHT will over power tank
I must agree with “black gerbil1″ this IS TERRIBLE FORM and you don’t need to be a pro to see it right away. Perhaps that kind of bench press may be standard among power-lifting pros but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s very poor form (mind you we can still see how powerful tank is).
The problem in the current form you may be asking? The bar is not supposed to go crash/bounce on the sternum before the lifting. If you do this you should start to think of doing otherwise because you may get hurt.
This was tank like 10 years ago…he was strong, now hes just a beer guzzling junkie out for his next paycheck
All you suckers run your mouths, I don’t see any of you talking your shit in front of Tank. Tanks not a great UFC fighter but he could knock out all you assholes, talk your bullshit in the Octagon.
Bench pressing may have nothing to do with fighting but 600 pounds is a lot of weight.
its actuly 540…. 60lbs from 600 is a big difference…
and bench pressing kimbos not gonna stop him from pondin a face
actually 585 with the bar…..as previously pointed out, yes Tank has no speed or agility, but what usually screws him is his lack of endurance (and chin to be honest), he throws a couple big shots, runs out of steam, then lays down
You meatballs have no idea what you are talking about.
He maxed out and that is great form for that.
He benched it and could do alot more judging by the video.
Oh and the plates are 540 lbs
The bar 45
And the additional weights on the side
Yes this is 600 LBS
Wow and the narrow grip. He should’ve just trained for powerlifting cause fuck he’s strong. Regardless, that don’t mean shit, like most have said. He’s gonna get spanked. And saying Kimbo has no skills is fucking retarded. He’s not the douche bag street brawler he was a year or so ago, he’s training mma seriously now.
o.k 600lbs is a little impresive, but he still got killed by kimbo.
Here is my 2 cents on this conversation:
I trained MMA at Matt Hume’s gym in Kirkland for a long time. Prior to pankration and muay thai, I was power lifting (though not competitively). I know very well the asset strength can be in MMA, though it is no compensation for technique or endurance. Tank abbot is a parody of an athlete in regards to MMA. He is a brawler who can take hits and slug, but has slow hands and shit for submissions. His wrestling is a tad above mediocre at this point, but nothing in contrast to Hughes and Couture. I am not going to disrespect Tank Abbott, because he is who he is and does what he does. It isn’t as though he is calling out monsters like Silva and Liddell is it? Let him fight people in his own league. Kimbo is a brawler as well, though I’m fairly certain he will be better conditioned and trained for this fight with the aid of Bas. It will be entertaining nonetheless.
honestly if u think tank has any chance of beating kimbo ur on dust or sumthin there is no way in hell that kimbo is goin down tank is just another bum their throwin in wit kimbo to get him started they know kimbos gonna slap tank around and make him his bitch kimbo is a fighter straight up he beats dudes down thats wut he does an has been doin. thats great that tank can lift an all but cmon if you have wathced mma for any decent length of time guys that can lift alot get ko’d by guys who can only lift half as much all the time strength is good but this is irrelevant kimbo ko first round no doubt
Tank’s a bumm?????????????
