I think he has a good chance.... I havent jumped on the Kirkland Wagon until he finally steps up, instead of fighting no names and Angulo leftovers (Ricardo Cortes).
Vera is bigger and has felt power at 168, he is taller and with a longer reach. He showed in the Andy lee fight he can take a punch and still keep coming foward throwing Hard shots. Andy lee made it hard for vera to get inside working off the jab and throwing straight shots. Kirkland goes in throwing wild shots looking for a KO. Vera can punch and if he catches Kirkland throwing wreckless he would probably hurt him, just like we seen him hurt lots of times.
It will be an intresting fight.. Im looking foward to that fight as much as the Main event.
