    This is a pretty speculative question, but I was just wondering how highly you guys would rate the winner of the Angulo-Kirkland fight. Obviously a lot depends on how both guys look, but given the fact that 154 is such a mess right now, I wanted to hear how much stock people would put into the win. I suppose if Kirkland gets stopped immediately again, it's hard to give Angulo too much credit, but does it put back him ahead of or at least in the mix with guys like Molina and Lara? What if Kirkland pulls the upset? Does he immediately become a top five guy again?

    I know this fight was a lot more attractive when it seemed like both guys had a lot more heat 2 years ago, but since so few top guys at 154 are even fighting each other these days, I'm still very much looking forward to it.

    The loser would be the son and winner would be the dad. Ishida would be the grandpa :lol:.

    The winner is probably going to get frauded by Top rank and given to the looser of Cotto Margarito clash instead of Chavez Jr.

    Depends on how they both look like in the ring.

    Angulo is a GBP fighter you know. Not sure who Kirklands promoter is. TR has no stake in this fight.

    I see Kirkland's loss to Ishida more a fluke. I could be proven wrong on that any moment in any fight of his. But he took some major bombs from Julio. If he was as glass jawed as he looked, he'd have been KO'd much sooner.

    Looking forward to this fight!! Was what I wanted before Kirkland got sent to the joint.
