    Watching Angulo KO Julio Saturday, all I could think of James Kirland. These two never take a step back monsters would've guaranteed us a fight of the year. Angulo's a beast, but JK will test anyones heart. Kirkland' s still a youngin' but something tells me he won't get back on his "A" game. Hopefully I'm wrong. Angulo is only gonna get better.

    Honestly Angulo looks like nothing more than a very poor man's Margarito, Julio actually looked decent most of the night.

    If so a fight with Angulo is still possible.

    Julio was boxing okay sometimes, but other times it looked like he was running for his life.

    Kirkland would have killed Angulo. Honestly im an Angulo fan but his hand speed is sad he's got good power but there's no way he beats most of the elite guys today

    Kirkland is very flawed himself.

    This fight would be a shootout and in a shootout anything can happen.

    Angulo looked like **** on Saturday. So i would have to lean towards Kirkland.

    Julio looked real good too. He was boxing well. But Angulo did look weird like the HBO crew was saying.

    Agreed 100%. Kirkland makes a huge impression because of his unbelievable and relentless aggression, his infamous training/torture sessions, and because of the fact that his trainer Ann Wolf could kick most guys' asses.

    But he's got some serious flaws in his defense and has been hurt on a few occasions by guys who aren't a-listers.

    I'd love to see this fight. It would be a true shoot-out!

    This fight will come down to who has the better chin IMO. I agree with the TS it would be a war.

    A war it will be indeed. Angulo was getting out boxed by Julio but was landing some very good body shots. Body shots that started bothering Julio. Angulo might be slow but he's got good timing and that makes a big difference. That's how he was able to counter Julio and drop him.
