Kirkland is back and he is back with Ann Wolfe so the bullshyt about his fluke defeat need to be put to rest. Some of the greatest fighters ever been beat, koed or knocked down early in their career. The great Jack Johnson, Louis, Armstrong, Dempsey ( a few other HOF fighters also) were all koed before they won world titles. Kirkland was fighting at a weight he shouldn't been fighting at and didn't train 1/2 as hard as he did with he was or is with Ann Wolfe. The Japanese fighter was a former world champion and was 6'1 in which Kirkland didn't prepare well for ( he didn't spar with tall sparring partners either). If Kirkland would have been allowed to continued like JMM did against pacman in their first fight he would have eventually koed that guy. Kirkland looked fresh at the end of the A. Angulo fight so he was in great shape under Ann Wolfe training.
Hey dude, i give Kirkland full respect but as an Amir Khan fan let me tell you the haters will bring up that fight for years to come yet
Kirkland is a monster man. Gonzilla to the max. He walked into Mexico and every Mexican in the house was grinning like they was about to see a human sacrifice. They did, but it was the wrong mother****er. Kirkland tore into that ass like a pit bull let loose in a meat wagon. The man aint no joke so stay tuned cause he may be comming to your town soon.
I like Kirkland. Finally, a modern day African American warrior! We haven't seen one of those in a while.
Big fan of Kirkland... love the way he fights. Not gonna lie, after witnessing his TKO loss to the japanese guy I thought he was done. Glad to see that Anne Wolfe has him working as hard as ever... The way he man handled Angulo proves to me that he is going to be a real force to be reckoned with at 154 and possibly even at 160.
Good but not great. For me it's fun to see him rise and fall. Kinda want to see him clean out the 154 class. By that time his rabid fans will call him the greatest of all time. Then I'll gloat when he moves up and gets KTFO by Sergio or even a gatekeeper at 160.
The truth spoken there good post man, How as a boxing fan can you not like Kirkland he's an all action fighter who wants to kill or be killed its awesome
I don't know what you were watching but there is no in hell that Kirkland can continue against Ishida. He was KD by a jab.
