    Wonderful fighter was Kirk but as the article says to many outside interests and influences In my humble opinion if Kirk had really knuckled down to it He would have been one of the best British Boxers of all time if not the best but thats the past now but such a wasted talent

    I think he went a little crazy, mentality he was a little unbalanced. But I liked his style the dropped arms, loud sniffing and the pre-Malignaggi dreadlocks. Modest and humble. Also recall he bought his girlfriend into the ring once and she was a complete eyesore....
