Top Rank has high hopes for Glen Tapia and he is already scheduled for his next bout. Glen Tapia (20-0 12KO’s) will fight James Kirkland (31-1 27Ko’s) [url]http://casinoconnectionac.com/issue/december-2010/article/glen-tapia-to-headline-sept-28-bout-at-bally-s-atlantic-city[/url] "Glen really showed his 'Jersey strong' mentality in that fight with Abie. The next step is to showcase him as a true headliner in New Jersey, which Sept. 28 will provide," Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.com. how many non-top prospects headline a top rank card in which top rank wants to "showcase" him? [url]http://roundbyroundboxing.com/corner-and-boxer-team-tapia-should-take-a-close-look/[/url] Tapia is a top prospect with Jersey roots. are we done here? because i can "go on all night."
how about the loser of the fight leave the esb forums forever? ill take james "killer" kirkland and you take nelson yeah thats what i thought now shut the fu-ck up while you take my shoe out of your ass
Have to wonder what happens to this fight now with Stevenson moving to Showtime. Does HBO keep that date with Kirkland-Nelson moving to the main event or maybe finding a new main event all together. Or does HBO cancel the whole date like they did when Golovkin pulled out of the Lee fight. HBO hasn't had a very good first quarter of boxing and should do all they can to keep this date.
Tapia is/was garbage. A club level fighter. Hype is hype. I use my own eyes to decide what a fighter is or isn't. You're nothing but an excuse maker. Kirkland isn't very good. His power is terribly overrated. This fight against Nelson is appropriate for Kirkland because James isn't very good and will never be very good. Willie even has a good shot at a win--and it wouldn't be an upset.
Yawn....leaving the forum forever bets are phucking lame. Why don't you just put some money on Kirkland instead if you're so confident. I'm not even a fan of Willie Nelson. But, you're obviously a Kirkland apologist who wears blinders. You're probably related to him.
so what youre saying is that your eyes are better than all the aforementioned that i listed above...including carl moretti? perhaps chavez would have something to say about your assessment of kirkland not being very good as he just went 22 rounds with brian vera, a fighter who fought with a broken hand from the third round onward in their rematch, and jr still couldnt knockdown brian who as tkod by kirkland but the real kicker here is that kirkland is good enough for you not to acccept a lifetime ban bet here on the forum where you can have willie and ill take james...loser leave the forum
