Kirkland seems like he's built for war when Jacobs never really gave you a reason to believe that he was built like that. Kirkland isn't afraid to eat some to give some. In tonights fight he looked bad though. He didn't look nearly as fast or as crisp with it.
He fits the bully mold imo. Hurt him and the bravery drains from his eyes. Fortunate for him it's only been journeyman he's had to overcome in these instances. He isn't Saad Muhammad, Qawi, Jirov, Dempsey, Gatti yet alot of fans seem to be under that impression.
Kirkland may be exciting but I'd rather watch a boring clever technician (ex. Miguel Vazquez, Bhop) than an exciting but inconsistent crude fighter. Kirkland is tough, but needs improvement.

Im seeing the same signs i did when i watched Jacobs against Ishe smith and i said to myself " What if that was a good puncher that hit him there".
Dan Rafael says he gets dropped regularly in sparring. Can give it but cant take it.
no kidding? could I see that article please?
