JAMES KIRKLAND vs JOEL JULIO in talks for HBO

[Kball15]

Thoguhts???

Should be an all action fight while it lasts. Gotta go with Julio for sure though, in 4 or 5 rounds probably.

But a lot of people are gonna count Kirkland out in this fight. Dont. dont do that. Kirk hits really hard and is a southpaw, something Julio struggled with against Quintana.

Fight will probably take place at 154

[K-Nan]

I would like to see Julio get into the mix at 154. I hope he wins this.

Hope James doesnt go for the KO right off the bat with Joel. He should pace himself and set up for the KO. Ima go against my insticts and make a bold prediction: Kirkland by KO 9th round.

[Piggu]

I'm bored of Julio. He doesn't act like he wants to achieve. This is the kind of fight he needs.

i think kirkland can stop julio but thats not before getting knocked down 3 times in the first half, those are my predictions

Is this gonna be a B.A.D card or is it gonna be a undercard for some other fight? It would be an interesting fight and a good step up for Kirkland. Like other's have mentioned I don't know if Kirkland should go for the KO early with Julio having good power himself. It should be and exciting one, I say Julio KO6.

[TopDawg]

Kirkland by UD. Julio is much more smaller than Kirkland an Kirkland has the better boxing skills.

I disagree completely. I find Julio very exciting to watch. Gets lots of exciting KO's. And when he's in the ring he acts every bit like he wants to achieve. Maybe not with the opposition, but i dont think thats his fault.

B.A.D i believe. Probably in Kirklands hometown, where the crowds are always really into it, although small.

I think Kirks only shot is to go for the KO right off the bat. Julio is FAAAR better then Kirkland technically and on in the inside to. Kirk needs to keep his range and throw that devestaing straight left a lot.

As soon as it becomes a trench war, it favors Julio a lot. A boxing match also probably favors Julio, but not my as much. As long as Kirk stays in punching range he could win

Kirkland by UD. Julio is much more smaller than Kirkland an Kirkland has the better boxing skills.

Both these guys are killers and I don't see it going the distance. As far as size goes, Julio has the height and reach advantage.

[K-Nan]

Julio has pretty much every advantage except maybe speed, IMO.
