Does Kirkland step up after two "confidence builders" or does he take on another easy target? .

Ann Wolfe wants him to fight a real opponent and I think that is what they will try to do. I have heard rumblings about a possible fight with Delvin Rodriguez.
There is a huge difference in power beetween a swarmer like Wolak and a true power puncher like kirkland.
This would be a good fight for the fans as it would provide fireworks. Im not even sure who to choose. Kirkland was humiliated by that japanese guy who hits like a girl so im not sold on his chin.
I'm very against people making fun of fighters, but this actually made me laugh out loud.
After that raping he took from Ishida, I'm not sure if I will ever see him the same way again. He is gonna have to do something amazing before I will jump on the hype train.
I think anyone can comeback from a knockout loss.
It depends on the person of course.
Hopefully Kirkland can capitalize on his second chance.
If Kirkland destroys Delvin, does he gain your respect?
Will you jump on the hype train?

way too much offense for kirkland to deal with
rodriguez is a beast!!
dude's a warrior. he'd stand the heat in the kitchen and fire back just like he did against wolak
wolak does everything but punch better thank kirkland (kirkland also has faster hands and feet)
he's harder to hit
more effective at pressuring
much more durable and at least as strong in terms of clinching and backing a man up
not a bad fight for delvin
i'd pick him to win by knockout late
and then get his shot at wolak on BAD where it belongs baby!
kellerman and roy would have tent de pantelones as mike phelger of boston sports radio would say
and bob papa with a great call as always
he's growing on me so much, is papa
he's just a really good guy who loves boxing and clearly works his butt off to do it justice
Kirkland hits harder.
He's also physically stronger.
Hand speed is about the same.

rodriguez is a beast with those fast combinations with power!
goddamn that fight with wolak was special. those guy's got a place in my heart for the duration

of course there's a difference. but i think delvin is capable of taking some of kirkland's shots, not so sure about the other way around. delvin is no knockout artist, but then again, neither was ishida. deff entertaining fight for however long it lasts.
Delvin by easy UD maybe late stoppage, ppl need to accept that Kirkland was a hypejob and isn't going anywhere.

hmmm...seems early for a "crossroads" fight (for Kirkland) but this may be it. If he loses again this early in his career I think he may be done, mentally.
Agreed. He will become the next Kelvin "Concrete" Davis
At this point I got Rodriguez. I think he'd outbox Kirkland if he could take his power shots. Unless Kirkland makes some improvements in his game, such as defense (ESPECIALLY defense), I can't see him going anywhere in his career.
damn, that'd be a crazy step up from his two previous bouts. idk about this one, tough fight to call. delvin can obviously take a shot and bang, but i'm not sure if kirkland is back in the condition he was when he fought julio, interesting matchup.

You said Delvin might be next for Kirkland but arent they talking about Wolak-Delvin 2 on the Cotto-Margo undercard?

It's a fluid situation. There are a variety of possibilities, but nothing is set yet. Having spoken to Cameron Dunkin, Wolak's new manager, I do not believe the rematch with Delvin will happen at this point.
