    great fight!!! Rodriguez has serious pop and is a decent boxer/puncher, enough so to give Kirkland problems and enough pop to shatter that glass chin of Kirklands. Kirkland would have to be the serious favorite but I wouldn't count out Rodriguez, he's got a big uppercut that could destroy James and he punches much harder than Ishida.

    Rodriguez has enough pop to shatter that disgraceful Chin but then again, almost anyone in the world could do that if they land. I think Kirkland's aggression probably limits the chances that Rodriguez gets to land since he isn't the best off of the backfoot and Kirkland probably shatters his own Fragile Glass Mandible. I wouldn't be surprised to see either go down, however.

    Rodriguez deserves the shot and Kirkland deserves a easy fight. Both fighters are warriors. Im very content about this matchup.
