Comments Thread For: James Kirkland Batters Jhon Berrio Over Two Rounds

[Illdil]

yep very fishy.


berrio landed that right and kirklands legs were all over the place and berrio

just STOOD there for 8 seconds

very odd

come bro stop over exaggerating kirkland being hurt alright ive seen people literary have no legs at all an just trying to survive he was hurt but stuned cuz that shot was on the temple ..legs all over the place yeah right only the guy's back foot buckled but that was cuz he was trying to regain hes balance but he recovered very fast ....

You do know hes fighting bums right lets see how he does against top comp martinez might go after him

These r "Fresh out of prison" fights. I'd say he's allowed at least 1 more before we can ask him to step his comp up. The only reason I say 1 more is becuz these 2 fights happened in the same month, and I just figure it'll take a little longer to work out all the kinks.

Kirkland did well for being out the ring so long and just having a fight two weeks ago. He did get momentarily buzzed in round 1 but he came back nicely in the 2nd round. Needs to work on defense but his offense is already very good. He does throw wide punches sometimes, but in the 2nd round (around 2m40s) he threw a brilliant 4 punch combo at close range, with short, sharp punches just before the KO, so he does have decent punch variety. Performance was a little rough around the edges overal but it's a work in progress.

Kirkland came out to make it slugfest.

WTF!??!?! Am I the only one who actually saw this fight??? I'm all for Kirkland, but he got rocked and homeboy took a dive. Kirkland never even connected when Berrio went down

Let's see him and Ishe Smith fight! Smith is a good veteran who has given plenty of good fighters hell.

Happy Birthday James Kirkland!

alexander is total hype. gets a gift against kotelnik and quits against bradley. HBO was so on that guy's nuts it was ridiculous. now HBO is hyping up kirkland who quite honestly hasn't done ****. yeah he had an entertaining fight with the love child but that's about it. getting beat by martinez doesn't make him a hype job but getting rocked by a bum does.

berrio knew he wasn't supposed to win and that's why he didn't KO kirkland's ass. all i'm saying his HBO is on kirkland's nuts but kirkland has trouble with bums. he's a hype job because of that. hbo should be hyping pirog and not this bum

Not a hype job at all.

And, yes he beat the love child also beat Vera, who has wins over Lee and Mora. Neither one a world beaters but are better than bums.

It's his 2nd fight back, 2nd fight in a month span, from coming off a very long layoff while being in prison where rumor had it he was over 200lbs.

Now will he get beat by Martinez? Duh...WTF? So ******....Martinez is an elite fighter. And, Kirkland is not ready for Martinez right now. He's barely getting back to boxing shape and where he was at, at one point of his career.

It will take like a year until he's ready for a Martinez. And, even then he still might not beat him but will be ready to face that level.

But, not a hype job.

Let's see him and Ishe Smith fight! Smith is a good veteran who has given plenty of good fighters hell.

Not a bad match up. But, not a fight that should be made right now or next.

How many rounds has he fought since his comeback? 3 rounds?

Not enough.

He needs rounds. Fight somebody durable next, somebody who can give him rounds but not really a threat to beat him.

A Kirkland-Smith fight should be made in the fall, sometime during the end of the year. He should be ready for a Smith then.

I'd like to see Kirkland and Pirog fight each other to see who deserves the shot at Martinez the most that way Martinez wouldn't have an excuse to duck the winner of that fight.
