This is according to Steve Kim. Perez looked pretty good against Garcia in his last fight, even though Garcia is a bit of a head case and didn't offer up a whole lot of resistance. Good test for Kirkland.
Cant wait until him an Angulo get it on, its bound to happen. These two would kill Forrest with the quickness.
Perez is a decent test, ill never forget when he got robbed against Brinkley. The acutal fight was close but Perez dropped Brinkley for the count with a body shot but is was called a low blow because Jesse said it was low. John Ruiz **** right there. Danny should be a good tussle whilst not being a threat to Kirkland.
Agreed. I'm looking forward to that matchup. There are questions about Kirkland, but he remains one of my favorite prospects.
Kirkland will get KAYO'ed against anyone with a pulse. I like the kid, but he just don't seem to have the good's. (I think Anne get's him all of his press & Hype)
He has potential, he is just green... He is comming along tho and I feel he will be great one day. Tho I may be a little biased... I used to train right around the corner from Ann's gym and used to peak in from time to time...
see THIS is whats messed up now.... Kirkland has gone WHAT... like 7 rounds in his last 4 fights or so???? now hes given a test? they should have matched him up with the guy angulo just beat, a tough sob whos going to make you earn your win by not going away and staying in your face... that would have been a good step up for kirkland but now hes going from blowing fools out in 1 round to fighting a guy whos going to really test him? i dont like this
Yah, he floored Margarito with a big right in the first round. Margo got up immediately and won the fight.

like 43758895789943 years ago... but he did put him down pretty hard in the 1st round, but margo got up like nothing....like the ****en terminator hahahahahaaha.. in the rematch, margo outworked him for a 12rd UD :good
This is a pretty good step up for James Kirkland. Perez didn't look amazing against Garcia but he's still a decent fighter who could pose some problems for Kirkland.
