    He is an exciting fighter, and would have made a decent gatekeeper, as for the moral part? I don't get it, he chooses to sue the ppl that pay him and break the law instead of making a decent living, even if he was getting ripped off he would be better off than he will be now, I don't get it, some ppl only learn the hard way as Kirkland will.

    Links don't work so I didn't read it, is it because he stole a win from King Carlos Molina :yep

    I honestly don't think he would have gone far in boxing anyway (even though I wished for him to KO Canelo). I have a very strong feeling he was on PEDs when he was walking down guys who should have beaten him. He gets sparked by a feather fisted journeyman then rejoins forces with Wolfe and suddenly looks like superman. Is that not suspicious at all? I'm not saying it's impossible for him to beat Angulo but I can't give him the benefit of the doubt when he's not an outstanding citizen along with the drug rumors which have circulated in the past.

    Kirkland has had luck in the ring. He was lucky that Lara punched himself out in the first round and he was lucky that Molina got DQd.

    I hope they keep him in there for years. This guy is a professional athlete, a professional fighter, his fists are probably registered weapons, he's able to make millions and not have to be violent anywhere but inside the ring and he does this ****?

    This is not his first offense either, he's starting to remind me of Edwin Valero.

    This guy is a genuine weirdo. He's probably gong to end up doing some poor soul serious damage outside the ring. This guy gives the impression of being constantly on the verge of a major mental meltdown leading up to a catastrophic outburst.

    Pretty big shoes to fill there, though I wouldn't fancy his chances of killing Anne Wolfe, not with that mandible at least.
