In what may or may not become a major topic over the next few days, undefeated junior middleweight contender James Kirkland was arrested on Sunday�during a traffic stop in Austin, Texas, and booked by the Travis County Sherriff's Department when a weapon was found in the vehicle. Boxing reporter Dan Rafael wrote that Kirkland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

Kirkland is set to fight Michael Walker on the May 2 HBO pay-per-view undercard to Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas. The facts are still coming out on the incident but Kirkland is on probation for a 2003 armed robbery, and that alone may cause this incident to become a very serious issue. More facts as they come in.
