Kirkland does not look the same,he looks fat and his aggression is not as high,maybe he needs a few more fights or something...I have to say he better stay far away from Martinez imo that will be the end of his career he will never recover from the beating he would receive in that fight..But a fight with him and Angulo(I think I would go with Angulo)would be good tho...
your the man comedian, i missed this fight last night.
Either that was the longest delayed reaction KO i've ever seen, or Berrio deserves an oscar cause he looked hurt badly by that grazing punch.
Kirkland looks alright, he's staying busy but he needs to take some time between fights and work on his conditioning. In better condition i think he could have been slipping most of the shots he was getting hit with from Berrio. I more skilled and quicker fighter would have been making Kirkland pay for his agression.
kirkland looked garbage, but considering how long he was locked up that was expected. keep in mind its not just that he hasnt been fighting, fighters who cant get fights are atleast in the gym getting proper work. kirkland hasnt been sparring or hitting any bags for what? 10 months? its gonna take some time before he gets back to his old self, in the meantime hes doing the right thing staying busy against lower level guys.
as for berrio i dont think he quit, i think he just got overwhelmed and decided to take a knee to get himself back together. problem is what really hurt him was the bodyshots and those freeze your legs. u cant go down from a bodyshot bcuz if u do u wont get back up, u need to just stay up and try to hold on. berrio made the mistake of looking for a breather and when he was ready to fight again his legs didnt respond.
Keep in mind when Kirkland faced Julio(who is a hell of a puncher) he was LITERALLY running through his shots, his will to win is second to none. He just has to get back to his peak which won't happen this year for sure. Maybe next though.
