not bad for tune up i guess...but if kirkland picks up where he left off, i really feel sorry for yorgey...guess he did'nt learn his les lesson with el perro....props to him tho if he accepts...

a made to order opponent. Kirklands punching power + Yorgey's glass chin = Made to look spectacular on TV.

on the plus side, it looks like kirkland is trying to keep busy and shake off the rust. hopefully he's ready to step it up after a few soft touches

Unless Kirkland is gonna be super active he should only take two tune up fights at the most because fighting bums isn't gonna make him a better fighter than he was before he went to prison. I'm not saying he has to fight a killer after two tune up fights. But it should at least be against a decent 154 lber or 160 lber.

Agreed. Plus Yorgey has heart, so he's not gonna just show up for a payday.
