Any news on James Kirkland? When can he fight again? what's going on with his case? Haven't heard anything for awhile. Free Kirkland! http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/83791200.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193003A50471BAAE0D52BEB2FB741A20A135A5397277B4DC33E

Hopefully someone keeps us updated on this.

He is probably broke from all the lawyer fees he has been paying and so on... He really is stupid, and I found him entertaining too but flawed but flaws is what makes a fighter exciting. If all fighters were perfect this sport would be quite boring.

17y ago

what a shame :(

17y ago

I don't think he's done! I heard through BPP's posts that he'll get about 18 months! He's young and can come back from that!!

17y ago

What a fuken idiot but i hope he gets off so he can entertain me

He has a court date in about a month. Right now he has no bail, but that may change the next time he's in court.

17y ago

He. Could. Be. Over. ?

17y ago

He could be done? wow! what a damn shame, he is so skilled and exciting. :(

17y ago

Do they still have those prisoner fight clubs? That's where Kirkland's ending up.

17y ago

Sounds like he's pretty ****ed to me. It's a shame.

17y ago

Yeah free Kirkland so he can go rob some more folks, if you do the crime you better pay the time, sorry folks i don't like him for what he done, shouldn't of done it end of! Disgrace to boxing!!

17y ago

His next fight will probably be free, all you gotta go is hold up a convenience store.That's cold but true.

17y ago

James Krazy Gunz Kirkland Lol All jokes aside, Free Kirkland! I'd like to see him fight again. His next fight will probably be free, all you gotta go is hold up a convenience store.

That's how things get done down here, they gave him a chance on his first armed robbery case which most people don't get and now he gets caught with a gun and another case. I have a partner that just went down for armed robbery and he got 48 yrs.
