Kimbo Slice vs. Big D
Written by Kimbo Slice on August 1st, 2008
Here’s the original Kimbo backyard fight in Miami that made him famous, Kimbo vs Big D AKA Leo Byrd. Rumors fly about this fight settling scores over a drug deal, and Kimbo says he was called up and offered $500 for a backyard street fight against Big D the next day.
Kimbo weighed in at 260 lbs. here, much bulkier than his MMA fighting weight. He demonstrates some clear boxing skills as he weaves under Big D’s hook and rocks him with a punch of his own.
But none of Kimbo Slice’s fights are without controversy, and you can see right in the beginning of the fight that Big D told Kimbo to “hold up” — and then got his eye bloodied and tossed into the grass. Kimbo continues to maul Big D like it’s a fight to the death, and by the end of it, Big D’s bloody eye looks like special effects from a horror movie.
The catchphrases “That’s how a nigga eat” and “All day” originated in this video.
