Just seen it, strange man. I mean somebody that took some big punchers from a noted puncher like Joel Julio, the guy has displayed a chin his entire career. And then he gets stopped like that. I mean I know it's 160 not 154 but come on, for a guy with no power does the extra 6lbs make that much difference? I fear now that his boxing career may not be going as far as he would hope, he won't have much to full back on and might end up in jail again. I hope he doesn't of course.
Kirkland was in no position to give an interview after being KTFO'd like that. In a way I felt sorry for him like the SkySports people said having a microphone thrust in your face after you've taken punches like that. Kinda messes your brain up a little.
Agreed. No good saying the guy has no power when he's just put you down 3 times in less than 2 minutes, the last time heavily. If he has no power what's the excuse for getting slapped around like that?
getting ko'd by a career 154 guy that has a horrible ko record is bad. Also, this was the first time the guy was fighting in the states. dont see how kirkland comes back from this. the majority of guys are never the same after suffering their first KO loss
I'd rewatch the fight.. Kirkland never actually looked "hurt".. ..he was bouncing right back up. I'm thinking he was going to go right back down, he had no balance and was going down from every punch landed.. but he still didn't look "hurt"..
And some mentionad Lemieux as a Martinez opponent.Place Kirkland and Lemieux together and let the fun begin!
Yeah, that's one serious glass jaw right there. Apparently he gets discombobulated pretty easily too.
He's been down before. Shaky chin like Gamboa but he would always come back. Not last night boi.......
Same happened in the Berto Vs. Bravo fight. Bravo was not at all bothered but the fight was waved off. Kirkland got dropped like a bad habit. He's just making excuses.
LMAO somebody with only 8 Ko's in his entire career was able to knock him down 3 ****ing times and wobbled him a couple of times. That **** is funny and kirkland is talking ****.
