James Kirkland Batters Joel Julio For Six Rounds

[handler000]

damn, i think kirkland could give pwill a run for his money with that kind of crazy pressure

Needs a lot of improvement on his defense. Too many openings and PWill throughs a lot of punches from different angles. But I would still like to see it just not right now for Kirkland.

Williams also has glaring advantages and knows how to use them. However, a Kirkland blitz might be effective and it could be more competitive than you think. Though Kirkland needs to better his defense slightly. Once he blitz slowed down he was taking more shots regularly. P. Will don't tire and will take advantage of openings and put on a blitz of his own if Kirkland gives him those chances.

The blitz..PWill is not Julio he fights well backing up.

Joel Julio isn't a terrible boxer he just looked bad against Kirkland. The fact kirkland looked great against a quality opponent shows he's a legit contender. as far as fight pwill that would be crazy. its premature but later it would be very interesting to see if he could get inside pwill reach and take him out. the guys knockin everybody out. angulo doesn't have the one punch knockout power kirkland does. angulo wears u down and then takes u out. if kirkland beats an angulo then everyone saying he cant beat a "skilled boxer" will be silenced.

I just meant Kirkland can make it uncomfortable at first, but as I stated when Kirkland slows down it will be all Williams. I don't think Williams will be backing up much in the fight anyway. He can work to keep the distance between fighters.

Kirklands the real deal! He should go after the belts.julio wasn't a tomato can & took care of him easily.he has a good team in his corner as well.I'm impressed with his chin,but most of all his ability to follow ann wolfe's instructions.It won't surprise me if more boxers take her on as a trainer.I'm very impressed with everything about Kirkland & his team.no doubt oscar has a good one in his stable.he'll be champ in the next year or so.

i thought Kirkland would win, i didn't expect him to dominate like he did though.

sure he has some holes defensively, but his nonstop pressure style will be hell for anyone in the division to fight

very impressed by his chin. he'd been dropped in a previous fight so i wasn't sure how his beard would hold up against Julio's power, but he walked through them.

Kirkland is no match for Charlie zelenoff!

Kirkland is garbage. Keep him away from guys who can actually fight because he is going to get schooled.

Kirkland isn't garbage just needs some more time to develope. He's only 24 and has time to change things up defensively and get some more control with his fighting. With some time he can make a stand atop the light middleweight rankings.

Hey its time to give Kirkland some credit! I know most people said Kirkland will lose to Julio but he won in impressive fashion! Now these guys are telling Julio wasnt good to begin with! Go Kirkland! I like the style of Kirkland, he will make noise at 154!! I think i will put him in my current Top10 fave list!
