Which corner will Roach be in that fight? -
Hi flip...
Villamor will be at Z's corner while Roach will be at Kirilov's?
I somehow expected that.
I don't know flip..., but I think it shall be too much to ask for a KO in that meeting. So,I'm looking at the cornermen as ones who'll add ****e to the contest.
About Kirilov: what he did in the first few rounds against Navarro was kinda odd to me...He threw too few punches. Maybe he was thinking he was a knockout artist? 9 KO's in more than 20 wins and he thought that...
Roach must have been fuming!Comment

Hi Mech
Yeah, some punches look deceiving...
He has only one real KO out of the 9 stoppages to his credit. His victim was a Kenyan named James Wanene, who has lost 6 times in 20 fights; four of the loses were by KO, and one was by TKO. Wanene had been KO'd three times before meeting Kirilov, including his last fight prior to the date with Kirilov. A Thai fighter was the author. Wanene was out in four in the hands of the Thai. Kirilov took one round longer.
In fact, in his four fights immediately preceeding the Kirilov fight, Wanene was KO'd thrice.Comment
