Congrats to Kirkland.

He has a lot to work on still.

hopefully he can make 154 next time out.

he beat a dude with like 10% KO%. Dan Rafael says Sharpe almost died in his last fight and was suprised he was even cleared. Guess they gave Kirkland a REAL CAN. Dude probably has nightmares of Japan and they never gonna give him someone with a punch.

He was suppose to fight Saul Duran.

Sharpe was a last second replacement.

Kinda explains why he couldn't take a decent body shot.

Kirkland fighting again next month I think. They should just have him spar with good guys instead of fighting Bums. These fights arent going to help him, get some world class guys to spar with. I dont think he learns anything in these type of fights, Im sure his sparring was tougher than this fight tonight.

Wouldn't mind a James Kirkland vs Vera rematch either that 1st fight was a freakin brawl and half.

i agree - i think sparring with world class guys will be much more beneficial to him at this point. these fights simply give him false confidence, and encourage his same mistakes.

Kirkland looked bad considering the nature of his opponent. He's meant to make a statement, type of fighter you knock-out with the opening punch. Just really bad, open and wide... I don't see this as a step forward in any form. if he's going to keep knocking out bums... well done. Otherwise...

Least he's back with Wolfe-pack.
