He was hurt. He did the chicken dance a couple of times, too - he simply has perhaps the worst chin in high-level boxing today and needs to become a defensive fighter. No big deal.
Kirkland wasn't stopped by Ishida. Kirkland was stopped by Cortez Poor guy. I do feel for him. I think Cortez should have at least allowed him to get up on his feet, and then determine his state. Because from what I saw, Kirkland was making an attempt to get up as soon as he hit the deck, but he jumped all over him! atsch. There was only a minute left, and seeing as though it was the first round, it could have been very possible that he could have survive the remaining minute.
Shut the **** up, ****! Kirkland got his ass kicked! Period! Yall are acting like it was JUST the knockdowns, but Ishida literally was wobbling him everytime he connected. Ole glass jaw Kirkland was saved by Cortez. He woulda just continued to be battered.
Knew this was going to happen. Kirkland's been dropped before in his career by bums..Knockout waiting to happen
Kirkland landed sum big shots too to Ishida's face and noggin, but Ishida was unfazed and was more than happy to engage Kirdland's jail house reflexive instinct to imediately go on the offensive against sumbody who just hurt you real good....but Ishida is not sum jail house **** pusher bum, he is a pro boxer who is more than capable to rag doll an idiot like Kirkland whose thuggish ways did not allow him to grab, hold and back up to regain composure like floyd did when mosley slapped him twice in da face.
Down 3 times and KTFO in round ONE.......then to be saying what he said??? Seriously James...just STFU your making it worse
