    He's strong and determined but he's merely a harder-hitting version of Frank "The Animal" Fletcher. He gets hit was too much which doesn't speak well of his chances of being around very long. BTW, Vera's career will be even shorter.

    Agreed. He seems hard hiting but no defense. I fear he will get knocked out when he faces real competition.

    I think he has more talent than "The Animal" ever did but his defense is pure club level. He'll be fun watching while he lasts though.

    Not much skills for Kirkland and really slow on his feet.
    And forget about his defense, crappy

    He's only fought seventy-odd rounds, give the guy a break. :-(

    Although he did have like 150 amateur fights, so I guess he's had some time to develop...:think

    his conditioning is questionable...he will not win title...he will get out classed or ko'd soon...he is exciting though

    He'll be exciting, but his defensive skills are woeful and he telegraphs his punches. Unless he improves drastically, he will have his ears boxed off at some point in the not too distant future.

    Vera only landed 14% of punches and yet Kirkland defense still stunk, neither are gifted fighters...
