Kirkland is moving forward. But you have to remember who he is fighting against. Vera has 0 defense and looked tired after half a round.
I don't think Kirkland is anything great but he's a fun fighter to watch with bags full of power. Vera is slower than Nikolai Valuev and John Ruiz combined. 3-0 Kirkland with ease.
If Vera doesn't put his hands up his career might finish tonight. That kid lost that fight in the gym.
I gave Vera that round out of sympathy. Kirkland seems wide open to big right hands and Vera (as slow as he is) can land that right hand with ease. Kirkland hurts Vera to the body right as the round ends. 3-1 Kirkland with 2 points added on for a KD.
Why is Kirkland getting hit??? You can see those punches a mile away!!! That Vera kid doesn't even look well trained
