    Julio. Just as much power, but has been to a slightly higher level and is a bit more well-rounded.

    Julio throws bombs and so does Kirkland. At the end of the night I think Julio will have more stamina and more experience to finish the fight. Regardless sweet card and im watching it ****ing live man cant wait HP Pavillion.

    Is anyone who is picking Julio concerned about the fact that Julio seems to have a lot of trouble with lefties, or with the fact that Julio was almost stopped by Rivera?

    No...

    Kirkland is there to be hit he's no Carlos Quintana i dont think Julio will have any trouble with a fighter that's right there in front of you.

    As for Rivera he is a veteran fighter with a lot of experience he can give any young fighter hell.

    Kirkland is not always there to be hit. He has much better head movement than given credit for.

    Rivera is not that good. He knocked Berto down, but lost every second of every round outside of the knockdown. Angulo completely destroyed him. Meanwhile, Julio scraped by him with a controversial SD and almost got stopped.

    I think he's just too tough, too rugged for julio.

    Great fight but I still haven't made my mind up just yet. Julio has faced much better comp than Kirkland that could be all the difference right there.

    Like i said Kirkland is not hard to hit he has been tag in almost all of his fight's by lesser puchers and lesser fighter's then Julio not to mention he has been put down on his ass to.

    But i agree with you on Rivera...

    I like this fight a lot. I like Kirkland and would love to see him win but I think Julio might pull this one out.. He seems to be a better boxer and might have the better defense. I think if Kirkland doesn't get him out of there in the first half of the fight(very possible), than Julio pulls out the decision. Teriffic fight. I'd like to see the winner move up and challenge Pavlik for the middleweight title. Either one of these guys would make for much more exciting and dangerous opponent then the likes of Mora and Duddy.
