****Kirks Championships 2017 ****

right on sounds good! good luck!

 

Guys.... what do you think... in the last 15 or 20 years, even though he lost valiantly, was that one of the better physical perfromances by a 41 year old? Top 5? Obviously Hopkins will have the top spot... Im sure JMM is up there... who else? If you take the 11th round out of it, that was a damn impressive performance for a 6'6'' 41 year old with a shitload of miles on him. Crazy... or am I going a bit overboard? I thought he looked surprisingly good and agile and kept a high energy tempo for over 10 rounds. For a super heavyweight in his 40's thats gotta be hard.

 

Lastly, and I swear Im done after this...

At 41, with all the accolades, the big name, ect... Wlad is STILL taking on the prime beasts of his division. Im not a fan of his actual fighting style but his mentality outside of the ring is an absolute credit to the sport imo. 41 years old and goes to AJ's backyard to fight him. Wish the rest of boxing would take notes from Wlad in that regard.

Wlad says he could have done more to finish AJ but he was so sure it was his night and that hed get him that he took his time.... gaaaahhh

 

I can tell how hurt Wlad is by the loss but hes taking his time to speak from the heart. Class act.

 

Seems to me Wlad is going to try AJ again... damnit. Says AJ is vulnerable but he wont make any statements about the future tonight, but you just know Wlad, his level of competitiveness, hes chomping at the bit for the rematch already. Should just take a gimme fight and retire in front of his home crowd with his hands and head held high.
