Kirkland is damaged goods

Damaged good on a 5 fight KO spree which 3 of them being Angulo, Molina and Tapia. I wish we had more damaged goods like that in every division.

 

Can't see Kirkland being competitive, he is grossly overrated by people. Canelo will have a field day.

 

Was he ever non damaged goods. Not everyone can be a Floyd Mayweather. Sometimes boxers are able to reach a certain level and thats it

 

It wasnt me.

Well his resume speaks for itself.

Also check this out:
"Over his past four bouts James Kirkland has thrown an average of 60 power shots per rd. Nearly 2x the 154-lb average."

With my standards; after such a horrific loss, he had a come back almost as good as a come back gets. But you are entitled to your opinion of course.

 

I like Kirkland - despite his limitations - but you can't seriously try to include Molina as part of a KO spree. Have you actually watched Kirkland vs Molina? To be fair Molina was hurt in the 10th, but hung on, and he'd been making Kirkland look foolish all night. The DQ was a flat out disgrace. Even Wolfe told Molina he was winning or shoulda won.

 

I think Canelo calls the shots on who he fights, I honestly believe he wants the best. Kirkland isn't the best though but he will likely destroy him and land a bigger and riskier opponent.

 

Canelo fought Trout and Lara before the age of 23. I would never call him someone who plays safe. Kid fights whoever available.

 

Kirkland's style has a short shelf life.

 

You are right. That fight doesnt qualify as a KO. But it was still a competitive fight.

 

Lol

 

Molina was robbed on a bull**** DQ
