Both contenders who started off with good records. Harris fought Patterson for the title whereas Kirkman never got a shot at a title. Two comparably sized men who could box.
For some bizarre reason I think that would be a good fight. Kirkman hit harder, he finally breaks through after 6 or so rounds and stops Harris.
Boom Boom takes this one. Setting my bias aside (he’s from my neck of the woods), I just feel like Kirkman would have the physicality to win here.
As with Charles above, I will try to put aside my bias for Boone, who I have met, but am still picking him. Boone packed some serious power, and could box well enough. Harris doesn't have the potential to put enough damage on him to derail him. Boone by comfortable UD or late stoppage.
