Streetfighter aims for fourth pro win in Springfield
Kimbo Slice will face Robert Bruce next month at the O’Reilly
Center in Springfield, Missouri hot on the heels of his first full four-rounder
against Charles Hackmann last weekend in Miami.
The 37 year-old, who had knocked his previous two opponents
out cold in the first round, looked to tire at stages of the 12 minute contest
at the Buffalo Run Casino and looks, on paper, to have a sterner test against
Bruce, 29, once again over four rounds.
Saint Joseph native Bruce has two stoppage wins in his two professional
contests so far, both in the second round, but has been out of the boxing ring
for five years and fought two debutants in both bouts.
Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson, will have to get back to
his devastating best to convince the non-believers who don’t see the former MMA
star making any inroads in the boxing ranks at this late stage in his career.
