James Kirkland sparring fail.

dan_cov14y ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIo19sqqejI 1.55 epic fail! His chins so weak he didn't get touched & got his ass knocked out lol What an absolute prick he is for those antics though. Anne Wolfe at 3.47 lol Disgusting behaviour coming from a 'professional' absolute bully-boy cunt. Yeah I know it's boxing and **** happens, it gets rough in sparring but that was all totally unprofessional IMO.

What the fuk are yall mad about. Its boxing......You have to practice at a high level to prepare for fights. That guy is not the first to get mollywoped in sparring. Wolfe should have stepped in a little earlier but thats about it. Ricky Hatton:"Its not a tickling contest, is it?" And that is why Hatton had a relatively short career. Sparring is about learning & preparing not killing guys. The guy was out on his feet & went to touch gloves not knowing where the hell he was, Kirkland was raging because he wrecklessly fell over & sucker punched him. He acted a dick in there. Maybe if the lame-brained, two bit thug didn't try putting his sparring partners in a coma & boxed more, learned his trade he wouldn't of got his arse knocked out by a feather fisted Japanese journeyman! I am also disappointed Anne let that go. If you blast every sparring partner out within a round you aren't going to learn zilch which might explain his lack of head movement, poor defence & inability to take a shot.

It will take me exactly one sentence to explain to you why Kirkland isn't a jerk and why you're judging him wrong. One sentence. Just ask. Go on, tell me why Kirkland is not a jerk...

Soz about the repost though some didn't see it so was worth posting again :) Tell you one thing though that sparring partners got a better chin than Kirkland :D

No wonder that tosser ended up in prison. Hope he gets KTFO again soon.

Makes me want to see Kirkland get KTFO by another feather fisted fighter soon. Put him in with Pirog and see how long that glass jaw lasts.

Have to say never seen that.Pretty shameful from Kirkland
