    I love guys like that.
    Me too. He should just move his head a little more while he moves forward.

      Vera's got a good chin and good power. Problem for Vera he is very very easy to hit. Kirkland doesnt waste time, and though he may not be the most polished fighter, he very well could beat vera by the second round. Kirkland needs to get the job done early. I question his stamina and Vera is one of those guys who gets stronger as the fight goes on to the mid-late rounds.

      If Vera can survive the initial onslaught for the first couple rounds, he very well could pull off another big win over a prospect. But thats a huge if.

        No. Kirkland will win by KO/TKO.

        Anyone want to bet? I'll give you 2:1 odds.

          Kirkland is a beast sometimes. Vera was losing to Andy Lee and got a lucky stoppage. Lee was still punching and the ref. made a poor decision in my opinion. Codrington KO'd Vera and I think Kirkland will too.

          Kirkland KO>8 over Vera. (sorry to say that because Vera is a Texan as well)

            i think this fight is going to go the distance so its a matter of who can hold up the best.
            kirkland has the benefit of seeing how vera handled andy.
            he's more skilled and faster then the awkward always open iron chinned vera. but vera is wiley wide punching neanderthal type.

            for those interested i have a betting prop going on this one:

              Vera wont have to adjust to fighting a southpaw since his last fight was against one.

              Vera is essentially two weight classes bigger coming down for the fight.

              Ruling him out of this one would be pretty ******.

                I guess that I'll just have to be pretty ****** in this one then.

                p.s. come talk to me about this after the fight

                  I don't think he will. I think Kirkland will stretch him.

                    i think vera gets stopped very early if the ref is your usual vegas **** ref.......

                    it will be very interesting to see what happens if this goes to the later rounds...

                      i think kirkland takes it if he sticks to his game plan. i could see him putting vera away with a body shot.
