When I asked if he wanted to "call out" Kimbo a second time he became anxious and more measured saying, " I really dont want to get into all that, Kimbo is a tuff guy and I want to fight the best". It was my impression that he had been told to tone the rhetoric down. RearNakedRadio can be heard Saturday nights from 7-9pm cst on Live1053 In Dallas.

Considering what was seen as, at best, preferencial treatment of Kimbo, it might easily be surmised that Shaw would not want Rogers to fight him. The only way out? To have Rogers suddenly no longer on the roster. I agree it would be way to obvious, but anything is possible with Shaw and the Elitexc. I think Rogers looked pretty sloppy in his KO of his opponent. But he does have a punch that could probably floor Kimbo if it connects. How can we keep Kimbo alive for another 10 fights? Probably not by having him fight Rogers, that's for sure.

I'd say word from Roger's trainer is damn close enough, wouldn't you? “So…no word from Elite XC or Rogers himself?”

If they did get rid of him, Gary Shaw would never live down the general impression that he is protecting Kimbo.
