    I'm excited for this fight ... they're both going to be throwing bombs and someone has to lose. (of course)

    I'm going to go with Julio, but only if he can survive 5 rounds --

    Julio finally gets to fight someone less skilled than him. And will probably lose.

    Both will bounce a few times, but Kirkland ultimately has the stopping power and punch recovery to come out on top.

    The bank and mom's jewelry on the under. :cool:

    Julio should win this fight..I wouldn't be surprised if Kirkland took it because either of them can get lucky with a wild hard punch..Julio by KO

    Julio gets hit alot too but if he makes past the 5 rounds the he can catch Kirkland blind and knock him out.

    Remember fellas, Kirklands chin is shaky and it only take 1 punch to turn the fight around ... but Julio would definitely have to weather the storm.

    Ive only seen Kirkland once (against Vera) but to me he looks stiff and a bit one dimensional for a lefty.

    kirkland is a beast, but julio has been in with the far better competition. james does seem alittle too one dimensional and when he does meet someone that can take his punches what is he going to do, esp with that weak defense? kirkland has a chance the first 5-6 rounds, but i can see him punching himself out and julio taking advantage of that and landing bombs of his own. it should be good tho, but i think julio takes this one

    Anne Wolfe doesn't seem to be teaching Kirkland any real technical aspects of the fight game which isn't much of a surprise considering she used to fight like a mummy stuck in mud.

    Julio has the better technique and overall skills in this one. Look for the fight to be competitive early and then I see Julio taking over by the middle rounds. Result: 8th round KO for Julio.

    ok boys!


    this fight will be one to remember. i say JUlio by ko in 3 of a bomb throwing contest. julio has the superior power and skills. he also takes it to the body better.


    note to remeber julio tko'd a man edison miranda failed to do. thats right Edison miranda.

    julio gots serious power he will always be vulnerable to a guy that can box ala Trinidad( not saying he's in his league or anything) but kirkland will be ther to be hit. kirkland will have a rough 1st round starting off fast then get rocked at about the 1:30 min mark and beging to retreat. he will be on unsteady legs for the rest of that round.

    round 2 both men come out firing there canon's with kirland getting the better of the first few exchanges. even stunning Julio. julio however take it to Kirklands body and that when they start teeing off. the bell rings after bout 30 seconds of slugging .


    in the 3rd round both start off where they left off at about 45 sec into it julio connects with a left that stunns Kirkland. then finnishes him off with the right putting him down and out
