    What about that James Kirkland eh??

    Exciting fighter, lots of power. Entertaining fight between him and Vera.

    Some stamina issues though, and he may be exposed by a more technically adept boxer.

      Im a fan, i like him and i like his style - he like a cross between a young Tyson and a Young Manny Pac tho less than half as good as either!

      I will watch whenevr he fights and pull for him but i cant see him making it, chin aint great, stamina aint as good as it should be for a guy who fights with that tenacity and he is WIDE open for counter shots plus like the young Manny he looks like he realise on the straight left too much

        the guy is flat out NOT exciting. I was more impressed by veras chin than his power, he has an ugly style, he's basically another jeff lacy, but hopefully people wont be ****** enough to buy into the hype this time. he will never be great or a draw, at least not after he meets someone with skill.

          He's my favourite prospect, his fights are fun as hell.

          He's flawed- he needs to not be so one-dimension and work on defence and stamina.

          But he comes to fight and is tough as nails. I think he's better than he showed last night, he seemed sluggish and kinda lethargic. If he is going to keep fighting the same way, he needs to work on his fitness, because he's not going to be able to bomb out an Angulo early.

            I;m a brit and looked forward to this fight more than the Hatton fight after catching up on Kirkland fights this week. Great power and style, could not belive veras didn't go down on some of the punches, guy was a nutter, clearly not winning the fight but put himself through so much un-need pain. What Kirkland lacks is a decent trainer, get that and he will be special IMO

              More props to Vera for staying on his feet and fighting back after taking a big punchers best.

                Kirkland has power but very flawed at the moment, he needs to work out on his defense or someone will expose him.

                  Kirkland is just a SLIGHTLY better version of Lacy which means he isn't all that good. He will get exposed before he captures any of the titles.

                    Kirkland is a fun fighter to watch whether he wins or loses, he's flawed but he packs a punch and he goes for broke every time out.
