[Mr. Philadel]

he'll be back in the ring in less time than Floyd's latest retirement.....this will be shorter than Winky's last break

I hope that is true. The sport and Kirkland's fans missed out on opportunities to see really great fights. His story was legit, and his trainer Ann Wolfe is a very interesting character.

I think Kirkland would have been eventually outboxed, but he could have beat most competition in the 154 and 160 lb divisions.

from experiance ill tell you kirkland will be gone for 5 years minimun...

Or maybe he will get the same SWEET deal T.I. got (a year and a day)...

[MANGLER]

Poor Kirkland. Dude was goin places. He could still be a titlist when he gets back, but he's blowin valuable prime time.

[Shadow boxer 3]

i hope GBP gets him a high priced lawyer and gets him a reduced sentence

R.i.p. .

Well I guess we won't see Kirkland in a ring again for a few years. What a way to throw your career in the toilet.

kirkland slapped god in the face after he was giving a second chance...

This guy is such an idiot, what the hell is wrong with him?? He doesn't sound like an idiot, or a thug, doesn't look like one, has some great people around him as far as character goes with Ann Wolfe, so what the hell is wrong with him? So ******, who knows how far he could have gone, what a ****** waste. Even if he comes back and still makes something of himself he'll never get this time back, it's gone. Lost a ton of money in potential purses. Even if he's only in prision for a year, it'll be at least another before he gets back in shape, and takes a fight or two, so you're talking like a minimum 3 years before he's, potentially, back on the national boxing stage. And that's if he doesn't decide it's more important to go try and buy another gun first, what a waste.

Ann Wolfe is going to beat that ass.

He's lucky to be going to prison for a few years. Should be safer in there and will give Wolfe time to cool off a bit.
