Kirkland set to be released

Promoters are reportedly working on comeback fights for Austin junior middleweight James Kirkland.

Kirkland, 26, who is set to be released from prison in Three Rivers to a halfway house in Austin on Sept. 17, likely will return to the ring Nov. 6 and fight again Dec. 4, co-manager Michael Miller, said.

Kirkland (25-0, 22 KOs), one of the rising stars in boxing, was sent to prison in April 2009 after pleading guilty to gun possession by a convicted felon.

shiiet, my bredrin needz dem gunz an shiieet knaw meen? Another idiot who needs to be locked up forever or spayd and neutured. Let him fight a lion to the death on PPV. We dont need classless lowlife's like him in Boxing we got enough.

It really doesn't feel like he has been locked up for a year and half but it's great that he will be back in a few months. James is a very exciting fighter and if he does anything great in the ring it will help the sport as a whole.

The lion would lose.

Hopefully he'll get his life straightened out. I love watching him fight. He's only 26 and could still have a stellar career. I love his relentless style.

Kirkland is a marketing genius.

Hes an exciting fighter but I dont think boxing needs more negative attention having felons fighting. They should set an example to be honest. What a waste of talent
