Kobe looked like a *****, but Childs' punches were weak.


If these two got in it again, who do you think would win?

[funkylikemonkey]

Chris Childs is pretty overweight now, probably even more so than when the Nets cut him a few years back, I'd go with Kobe.

[hotsizzle]

childs hits him, then runs off. wtf??? those are sum weak ass punches too.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

chris childs rocked his ass, i remember that game

[SsKSpurs21]

kobe is alot bigger and has a longer reach, he would kill chris childs.

[bigkingsfan]

NBA fights make them look like the biggest ***** on the planet, I can find 2 random shoolgirl that will have better aim.

[shafir]

Childs rocked him, Kobe fought like a girl.

[eliteballer]

Child's didn't do sh!t, he started swinging out of nowhere like a punk then backed up like the little b!tch he is.

[hotsizzle]

Childs rocked him, Kobe fought like a girl.

:roll:

kobe had to be restrained. childs threw sum weak hits and started backin up like a *****.

[xxxSuperStar]

kobe is alot bigger and has a longer reach, he would kill chris childs.

that means absolutely nothing, just ask the 45 people who got KO'ed by 5' 9" Mike Tyson.

[Voratian]

More often than not, size/reach determines how a fight goes, obv.

Childs hits like a b*tch, so i dont see any difference here.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

Kobe was such an immature little priick back then, always causing drama because of his ego.




but ever since last year I think Kobe turned over a new leaf. giving his teammates credit on the court, even goin the extra mile to improve his PR with charity, visiting sick children, hanging out with Team USA... etc..


but he still rides his temamates hard.


Atkins: "Ask Kobe the GM."

[MaxFly]

What caused the fight? I forget.

[DetroitPistonFan]

I remember that fight. Child was a p*ssy. He sucker punched Kobe then runs off like a b*tch.

Chucky Atkins calls Kobe the GM but he still goes to Kobe's house and hangs out with him?

where did you come up with that piece of fiction?

[KingLeBronJames]

where did you come up with that piece of fiction?
Atkins was in town went to visit Kobe and hanged out with him after he was at the Beverly Hills Mall for Kobe's shoe premiere.

[LALakerFan4Life]

Yep, Chucky was there.

[Trade]

Kobe would of knocked his ass out

[Kobe24]

Who cares what Atkins think.

[IlliniFan]

haha all the kobe fans are mad cuz kobe got owned right there. Kobe didnt even get one hit in. :roll:

[LakersDynasty]

haha all the kobe fans are mad cuz kobe got owned right there. Kobe didnt even get one hit in. :roll:
Cause Childs ran away like the little bltch he is.

[Dick Biggly]

haha all the kobe fans are mad cuz kobe got owned right there. Kobe didnt even get one hit in. :roll:

maybe cause its a basketball game, not a boxing match. I could run up and suckerpunch Mike Tyson and run away. Doesn't make me tougher than him.

[DavisWarriorsFan]

haha all the kobe fans are mad cuz kobe got owned right there. Kobe didnt even get one hit in. :roll:
:wtf:

[picc84]

Kobe got "rocked" and "owned"?

He probably barely even felt those lovetaps. :roll:

lol @ kobe hate warping two lovetaps into mike tyson haymakers. his fist didnt even connect on the first one, his wrist did. :roll:

[KingsFan416]

Wow...wtf was that? Childs didn't connect with the punches then runs off. :applause:

[heavensdevil]

u guys are fools, childs won that fight hands down. Childs chin checked dude wit a combo and kobe swung at him like a girl, Childs only appeared to back off cuz he was dogding kobes punch, morons.

that wasn't even a fight, let alone have there be a "winner".

[The Mamba]

Meh, Kobe swung like a girl ... but Chris Child's punches semi-connected and were just as bad, cause they didn't even phase Kobe. Ontop of that, dude ran away after he swung and like hit Kobe's adam's apple.

The funny part is, Chris Child's incident with Kobe > his career. That moment is literally the most known aspect of dude's life. Pathetic.

[heavensdevil]

kobe elbowed dude like a b1tch to begin with. I want a chris childs jersey.

[Kobe24]

kobe elbowed dude like a b1tch to begin with. I want a chris childs jersey.

Not even Chris Childs has a Chris Childs jersey.

[The Mamba]

Not even Chris Childs has a Chris Childs jersey.
Haha, funniest thing I heard us ay in a hot minute.

[heavensdevil]

:rollingeyes:


Riiiiiiiigggghhht.

[JordanPippenRodman]

kobe reacts like a scared little kitten. his ego took about a second and a half to realize someone would actually touch the Kobe. too funny. so many people want to knock kobe out, childs finally decided to do it himself.

[Kobe24]

Because Childs knocked him out... :rollingeyes:

[JordanPippenRodman]

Childs was aiming straight for the chin, a knockout blow. kobe is lucky the grease off his forehead blinded childs into going off target. Otherwise Kobe would still be laying on the court.

[JordanPippenRodman]

It really is funny if you look at it long enough. kobe is on his home floor getting disrespected. the best part it is watching kobe's face squint up after childs lands the first blow. his face says it all. pretty hilarious.

http://pic.piczo.com/img/i27417856_92629_2.gif

[The Mamba]

No one is professing Kobe to be a fighter... Does that make someone a badass? Because in basketball terms, Childs doesn't stand a chance.

[Kobe24]

Childs didn't even attempt an uppercut. Weak punches and Kobe hardly reacted. Obviously you never fought before.

[JSub]

LOL

Hardly reacted? How can you say that with a straight face after watching that clip?

[joe lucky]

god people still talking about this? Who cares about Chris Childs. Yeah that was a period.

[BIG FURB]

:roll: It never fails, show this footage and the kobe cult comes running trying to defend the guy's manhood. Kobe wanted to show how much of a "thug poet" he is by getting in childs face and got chin-checked....twice. :roll:

Don't worry kobe fans, i'm sure that after that incident the kobester went and enrolled in a couple of womens selfdefense classes so that it'll never happen again

[Zombles]

Childs didn't even connect to Kobe's chin, don't know why people think that. One kinda glanced it and the other hit his throat. Sucker punches are weak anyways.

But seriously, Kobe threw like the worst right hand in the history of Western Civilization. It looked like an overhand that downgraded into a jab that went down and to the left with no snap and plenty of overextension.

[lakerfreak]

[QUOTE/] It never fails, show this footage and the kobe cult comes running trying to defend the guy's manhood. Kobe wanted to show how much of a "thug poet" he is by getting in childs face and got chin-checked....twice. [Quote/]

LOOL i remember that song..haha I have it.

But the beats are the worst...it goes off beat a lot

But as fr chris childs...It looked like his arms were too heavy for him to lift and Kobe Just reacted too quickly.

[Nero]

Actually weight is much more important unless all you do is box.

[Rasheed1]

Childs didnt sucker punch him....he stood right in front of kobe and punched him in his mouth while kobe was talking that drama talk... :applause:

a sucker punch is when you bang somebody while they arent looking... like if he was to hit kobe in the back of the head while he was walking away..

no.. childs straight stole on kobe's jaw

[MaxFly]

I think it would be reasonable to assume that Bryant would have won that fight had it continued. When you get two hits in and it doesn't phase the person, and you're the one who involuntarily begins to back up, it doesn't bode well for you. As Rasheed said, Chris got a clear shot at Bryant's jaw, but dude just stood there, took it, and then took a shot to the throat. By then, you would think Bryant would be the one backing up, but apparently the hits didn't phase him. It wasn't a sucker punch... Chris stole him straight in the jaw... Bryant took it, took another hit, and it was Chris backing up. Pretty straight forward.

[Rasheed1]

yeah I'll give kobe credit tho.... he did stand there and take it... I mean he could have flopped like the guy Zindane head butted, but he took it without too much problem..

[gigantes]

whoever's saying childs was "running away" does not understand boxing.

boxing/fighting is a back-and-forth thing. there's a reason why boxers are trained to dance, dodge and weave. it's because when the other person has the initiative and is throwing wild punches you don't stand there like an idiot and take them. you move around or backpedal and wait for your next opening.

watching the youtube video, childs did what any good boxer would have done- he had the initiative first, took his first two shots then backpedalled out of the range of the taller/bigger player's wild swings. he never turned his back and was even dancing on his feet ready for whatever was coming next before the crowd broke it up.

not only that, but most punches in a fight don't connect cleanly (or at all) anyway. childs landed two semi-blows at a serious reach/height disadvantage. he's the one who looked like he knew what he was doing from beginning to end. kobe is the one who looked hysterical and out of control. i'm not saying childs could beat kobe in a straight-up prolonged fight, but if kobe and childs had been equal sizes it would have been no contest. all wild punching does it to mostly tire you out against a boxer, meaning that sooner or later you're going to pay for it.

I believe I stated that in other words earlier, but great post.

[indenial]

Kobe is backing up to begin with while he is talking trash, what a wuss. Then gets socked in the neck....if you ever been socked in the neck it kinda hurts!

[Chachi-in-Charge]

Kobe seems to be in a lot of fights

He is an angry young man

[Voratian]

:roll:


So you'd rather fight a tall guy instead of a 5'11'' fatso? FAT PEOPLE CANT FIGHT. They are slow.

[heavensdevil]

Id probably rather fight a tall slender dude, rather than a shorter stocky one.

[Voratian]

I'd take the shorter chunky one. I mean, more often than not fights are all strikes, and this gives the tall guy a huge advantage. At least with the fat one, you can land a few on his piehole.

[millencolin735]

maybe cause its a basketball game, not a boxing match. I could run up and suckerpunch Mike Tyson and run away. Doesn't make me tougher than him.

I started laughing reading that. Just the mental image of someone sneaking up behind Mike, punching him in the head and then running away laughing like a little schoolgirl teehee, just seemed funny to me.

If Chris had backpedaled with the intent of actually dancing, dodging, and weaving, and actually continuing the fight, you would have a point, but he didn't. The 9 second youtube video shows that Chris gets two hits in, and then backpedals away, but doesn't keep his hands up or in a fighting position. Instead, it's Bryant coming at him and having to be restrained by teammates, and Childs backing up with his hand down and making no attempt to prepare for whether Bryant catches up to him. It's evident that Chris either didn't want to continue the fight, or wasn't prepared. Moreover, if Chris really was mirroring the style of a boxer, he would have pressed his advantage when Bryant took that wild swing and was off balance. Chris could have got a good shot in there, but instead, he continues to backpedal with his hands down, allowing others to get between the two. Taking all of this into acount, it's easy to come to the conclusion that Chris didn't want to continue the fight. Nothing wrong with, but lets not pretend that he was really ready to throw down.

[The Mamba]

Kobe Bryant knocked out Samaki Walker. You don't think he could bang little old Chris Childs?!?

[Rasheed1]

come on now....childs wasnt running away from kobe.... lets stop the nonsense....

childs did what anybody would have done.... socked kobe in his mouth and then back up to see what kobe is gonna do about it....

if kobe would have charged him, he would have gotten sidestepped and hit again...

the situation was obvious....kobe was ready to talk smack and childs was ready to fight.... kobe stepped up to get in his face and got jabbed.... period....

niether one was scared of the other....

[MaxFly]

Kobe Bryant knocked out Samaki Walker. You don't think he could bang little old Chris Childs?!?

Get out of here. He smacked Samaki Walker on a bus over a money dispute and that's all people know. Don't make things up hoping that others haven't heard the story.

[MaxFly]

if kobe would have charged him, he would have gotten sidestepped and hit again...


That's the problem... Bryant charged the first time, swung wildly, and missed. Chris had a good chance to get another shot in, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he backpedaled with his hands down, trying to put distance between him and Bryant. How can we say that he would have sidestepped and hit Bryant if he didn't do so the first time. From what happened, it's more likely that he would have sidestepped and tried to put even more distance between him and Bryant until people could get between them considering that's what he did the first time.

[gigantes]

It's evident that Chris either didn't want to continue the fight, or wasn't prepared.
nonsense. childs did what many boxers would do regardless of whether he kept his hands up or not. there is no unwritten rule that says "all true boxers/fighters must keep their hands up". the only thing that matters is whether you are prepared for what's coming next, and his body attitude showed me that he was prepared at every point.


Moreover, if Chris really was mirroring the style of a boxer, he would have pressed his advantage when Bryant took that wild swing and was off balance. Chris could have got a good shot in there, but instead, he continues to backpedal with his hands down, allowing others to get between the two. Taking all of this into acount, it's easy to come to the conclusion that Chris didn't want to continue the fight. Nothing wrong with, but lets not pretend that he was really ready to throw down.
again, your assumptions. maybe you are right and maybe you are wrong but without the fight being allowed to continue we will never know. besides which, i didn't see a significant moment when kobe was off-balance and ready to be retaliated on. maybe if childs was a little bigger and a little closer, but not under the existing circumstances.

i've watched hundreds if not thousands of fights and been in a few myself and i tell you childs played it like any reasonable boxer would have. maybe not a champion boxer who would have immediately siezed the available opening but that's not the point. the question was whether he played it like a smart figher, not a champion.

btw shout out to "heavensdevil"- you made a number of excellent points before me.

[The Mamba]

Actually, I didn't hear the exact story. That is what someone told me. I wasn't hoping for anything. So please, get the **** out of here. I didn't know their was an exact report of what happened. How do you know what exactly happened either? Were you playing for the Lakers at the time?

[JordanPippenRodman]

kobe acted like a freaked out little girl who just had a spider in her hair...LMMFAO! childs went with the right hook to the chin. or did you think an uppercut is the only way you can land a knockout blow to someone's chin? that's pretty funny. quit playing video games and get outside, son!

Ha, Max called you on trying to pass off bs like fact and you get upset about it.

A bit of advice. Stay on Max's good side. He is a huge (not so) undercover Bryant fan and will be a strong ally for you in the coming months.

Don't need it. I make my own points.

[heavensdevil]

yall are still arguing this?... Kobe threw an elbow, got chinchecked wit a nice 2 hit combo and missed like a b1tch, end of story.

Lol, groupies... Knoe, you're like a running gag. It's been a long time since anyone has taken you seriously. Just stick to what you're good at (Bryant) and leave the other basketball related commentary to the rest of us.

[MaxFly]

LMAO @ the haters giving each other "shout outs" :roll:

Lol, one day I'm a fan, the next day, I'm a hater... You guys are going to have to make up your minds.

I was actually referring to "Gigantes" giving props to "heavensdevil" for his hate speech :roll:
I think you are neither a hater nor a big fan, but you definitely respect and like his game.
Don't worry about Knoe, how can we have a thread with Bryant in the title without him showing up? Impossible. Probably has a beeper that goes off everytime somebody posts Bryant related posts/threads.

[BA BARACUS]

:roll: Childs got Kobe wit a couple of love taps, **** didn't fase em tho. I kno people love seeing Kobe get hit and all but come on, it aint like Chris Knocked Kob out on his azz or something. I really wouldn't call that gettin beat down, just punched. Now the Fox vs Christie fight? Rick got his ass whooped in the tunnel. Now Thats a beatdown.

[The Mamba]

Probably has a beeper that goes off everytime somebody posts Bryant related posts/threads.
He has the Kobe signal. A light shines from his computer each time his name is mentioned, and the signal is the profile of Kobe Bryant's head.

[gigantes]

I was actually referring to "Gigantes" giving props to "heavensdevil" for his hate speech.
you don't know what you're talking about. i shouted him out because he paid me a compliment, not because of any "hate speech."

besides, you're acting like a typical homer who assumes any criticism on your boy or your team means the person is a "hater." grow up. i love phil jackson and i have huge respect for kobe's game but that doesn't mean kobe didn't look foolish during that fight.

Chris Childs is shot, past his prime, and overweight right now.

Kobe would win via Unanimous Decision.

This. Calling Childs' punch a "sucker punch" doesn't tell the whole story. Kobe short-armed a jab, and Childs came over the top with a straight right. Textbook stuff, really.

And of course the gif doesn't show Childs running away from Kobe right after he throws the punch.

[DustBytes]

that means absolutely nothing, just ask the 45 people who got KO'ed by 5' 9" Mike Tyson.

You're an idiot

do you think there are mike tysons walking around or even playing in the NBA?

You are insulting mike tysons work ethic, do you think he was naturally born to fight? Him being able to knock out guys twice and sometimes three times his size was due to 1) good genes, 2) work ethic.

And it's pretty well known that relatively larger people do better in fights.

[lefthook00]

Kobe's been boxing now for over 5 years(if not more) no? I thought he got into it for handspeed/quickness on offense and dribbling?

Strange bump... from the handsome man era. Wow.

Lol i have no idea who would win 1 on 1...kobe is a ball player and not a fighter...

im sure he can hold his ground...but for someone who is not from a ghetto background is middle class...not really sure he knows how to fight...

i know who would win 1 on 1 in a ball match thou...not chris childs.
