With Shamrock's skillset, I'd take him over Kimbo even if Ken were 60.
Kimbo has been exposed twice in a row. If you can avoid one of those initial flurries of haymakers, and have any real MMA experience to go to, Kimbo is very beatable. He was gassed by the second round in the previous fight. This time, he went down while coming in for that initial attack and got pummeled from behind and had NO clue what to do about it other than eat a TKO.
Shamrock would put him on the ground and take the first limb he extends to hit him with and try to tear it clean off his body.
Kimbo hits hard, there's no doubting that, but he may be too old and too set in his ways to really put in the time to get good on the mat and learn some defense. It's gotta be second nature.
A game plan doesn't work in a fight.
