Kirkland vs. Ricardo Cortes is on!

I came away very unimpressed with Kirkland, he took some very hard shots and he fought dirty. He is lucky he was not DQ for his excessive punching at a fighter that was clearly on his way down. Texas referees are notorious for protecting the local talent.

Mora/Forest rematch is next week does Mexico get the ppv for free? dunno... havent seen it advertised...but im assuming televisa will have it, yeah...they get the golden boy mexicans....

I forgot to add, Letterlough had a better chin from what i seen tonight. He could jab for shit or it looked sloopy. He will make for exciting fights but i belived the hype and after seeing him fight, it was just people excited about his power. Kirkland v. Chavez, i would make that fight if I was Arum. What was wrong with Kirkland's chin tonight? He got hit flush and didn't back up an inch. He would tear up JCC Jr like a paper doll. Arum won't even put the kid in with Alfonzo Gomez, and you think he'd put him in with a killer like Kirkland? :rofl:

mora would KO him.....mora can counter on the ropes...he doesnt even need power, Kirklands forward momentum would be enough..... Mora/Forest rematch is next week does Mexico get the ppv for free?

Kirkland is a lot better than Letterlough was. All Letterlough had was raw power. I forgot to add, Letterlough had a better chin from what i seen tonight. He could jab for shit or it looked sloopy.

kirklnd pulled a rjj IN what sense?

cheap imitation??? Letterlough wasnt that good of a fighter man. Kirkland is much better. If Kirkland tightens up his defense he could be a real force in the division. His offense is really explosive. But as it stands, he is far to easy to hit and doesnt have a good enough chin to make it to the top of the sport IMO. Kirkland is a lot better than Letterlough was.

now that is an exciting fighter. Awesome power, super super aggressive hits and gets hit and he looks vulnerable around the whiskers to me. That is the foundation for a truly exciting fighter.

damn cortes has no defense i saw him fight against angulo as well. just like in this fight he was definitely landing a lot of good shots but he just cant keep up with those guys. cortes will beat a lot of fighters in this division he just cant handle the pressure of angulo or kirkland those two are savages.

Nobody gave Gonzalez a tougher fight then Julian Letterlough, who should have gotten a title shot at 175 instead of 190. Letterlough had better technique, better stamina probably more power too but lets see how Kirkland does against a top contender in his division.

Yeah, probably...I just got a little excited LOL :boxing: happens,lol...

Later maybe makes it more exciting Yeah, probably...I just got a little excited LOL :boxing:

That's a great comparison. Kirkland needs to improve in all areas. He looked way too sloppy, flat footed and imo looked like he was weak in there.

Damn, I don't give a fuck who ya are, you gotta love Kirkland's style. Him against Alfredo Angulo would be a dream matchup. Somebody make that fucking fight. Later maybe makes it more exciting

punches 63/156 connected 40% I love the fact that he throws with a meaning with every punch.
