James Kirkland Breaks Promotional Ties With Gary Shaw

[pesticid]

How do you drop a promoter? I thought promoters could drop fighters but not the other way around. And frankly, Kirkland should fight every other week. I mean he trains all the time, he finishes fights early. You have Kirkland and Angulo fighting every other week and boxing will pick up big.

Kirkland reminds me of Nigel Benn except that he's smaller and southpaw.

Another **** Gary Shaw. Ive heard hes using his boxing money to get his MMA **** from going under. James Kirkland is one of my fav. fighters, great style. He going to be a HBO star in no time.

Btw, how come I haven't seen a single sig of Nigel Benn here on boxingscene. Him and Tyson are the best highlights in boxing.

Kirkland's contract called for him to have five fights a year. If he didn't turn down any matches and Shaw didn't come up with the fights, he violated the contract and it became void.

Yeah but the year is far from over.

We reported several days ago that flyweight champion Nonito Donaire severed his promotional contract with Gary Shaw, now undefeated junior middleweight prospect James Kirkland is also jumping ship. Both fighters have the same claim, that Shaw breached their promotional contracts by not keeping them busy enough. [details]

This really surprised me because Kirkland seemed to be the main young fighter in Shaw's stable. I hope he signs with either Warriors, Goosen or DiBella. I'm tired of seeing all the good young fighters go either Golden Boy or Top Rank.

Anything that gets Kirkland on TV more is a good thing.
