Kirkland is 172 right now

Kirkland needs to get his prior form back. He needs to take his time and get off the rust before even thinking about an Angulo fight.

His incarceration set him back, but we'll see how much soon enough.

 

I've always been a fan of Kirkland and I've always seen him as a guy with a short shelf life and a guy who will never be effective above 154 lbs(do to style and stature). I hope he can prove me wrong.

 

That's what i was going to say. I thought they split up.

 

172 is certainly better than walking around at freaking cruiserweight! He might actually be back at 154 before to long.

 

Has he been keeping fit in jail?

I don't see how he could go from months and months of not doing any real boxing workouts to fighting within a few weeks of release. He should take his time to work back up to a world class fitness level imo.

I hope he does well and stays out of trouble, always been a fan of his exciting style.

 

Good news to hear, hopefully he can work his way back into the title picture.

 

^^nice! When is he slated to return.....he has some bad breaks. hope it works out this time.

 

^ considering Martinez recently vacated his WBC 154 belt, and is keeping his ones at Middle I think he's effectively done at Super Welter

but agree, 154 is picking up steam, and don't forget Miguel Cotto.
