Ishida came up to him after the fight was stopped and actually bowed to him, yet all Kirkland can do is ***** and whine that the fight was stopped too early and basically blaming anything and everything except himself. The guy has ZERO humility, and it was hilarious to listen to the fans booing him. James, you should be more gracious like Ishida, and then maybe you'd get some respect.
IMO Kirkland was gonna get up again... would he survive who knows but he still had enough to keep going....
Id imagine that he was very upset... he was undefeated and he was supposed to win tonight! I wouldnt be very happy either..
sucks for kirkland... hopefully he'll learn from this... from the video i saw of the fight, ishida landed crisp, accurate punches on kirkland's jaw... that's what dropped him... i think james could have continued but now we'll never know... congrats to Ishida!!!!
yeah I think he was going to get up... What was up with James tonight?? WTF.. he didnt look like the James Kirkland of old! :huh
it looks disrespectfull but i cant imagine how frustratiing that must be, you train like an animal for that moment in hind sight im sure he would have appologised ishida made a great account of himself regardless
anybody know what he said exactly? ****ed up that Ishida actually went and bowed and Kirkland was indifferent to him.
If he was "o.k.", he never would've went down three times. Cortez did the right thing and I can't believe people are trying to argue it. It's ****ing disrespectful to Ishida.
Show me a good loser and Ill show you a loser. The guy was just very upset with himself , no one else.
