Boxing fans are the most bandwagon ruthless fans on earth KIRKLAND WAS NOT EXPOSED!!

[Evil Abed]

I've said this for awhile.

Kirkland needs too do what Katsidis did after the Casamayor fight.

He needs to put his hands higher and sacrifice some offense for defense.

Work on head movement.

Jab your way in and go to work on the inside.

Instead he's throwing haymakers from the out side and running into punches like an idiot.

Exactly.

Head movement, defense, and learning how to pace himself.

If a skilled opponent knows that he'll be coming no matter what and trying to attack every opening, it'll be easy to lay traps for him to jump into.

That's how the first KD happened. He basically lunged into Ishida's left to multiply the damage. Nobuhiro didn't need a lot of power to make that one happen. He just needed to press Kirkland's button. Then click, lights out for a second.

kirkland's defense is piss poor, we knew this before he went to jail. it was only a matter of time that he'd get KTFO

he was exposed.

Yet you were calling Martinez a ducker for not fighting Kirkland?

You should publicly apologize for throwing Martinez under the bus.

In regards to this fight, I was never fond of Kirkland. I just saw him as a dumb ass brute who was strong. He needs to go back to the drawing board

I agree.. boxers are only human- they're not perfect, you can't expect them to do everything.

Give kirkland a year or 2.

yeah I've been a fan of Kirkland since I saw him live and wondered, "wow who is that beast?!"

in this day and age it's rare to find a fighter with Kirkland's brawler mentality, his determination and hunger in the ring. Most young american fighters these days have that almost pussy amateur style - not much power, don't like to get hit and just try to "score" with occasional shots. Some of them quit when the going gets tough (Alexander for example). James was the opposite of that, he entered the ring with one intention and that was KO.

so to me, it's confusing that some people are actually joyful that he got TKO'd. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want kirkland to succeed, as his style of fighting is what people love to see.

Thank You for finally posting in this. It's freakin ******ed that people are hating on a guy like Kirkland who does nothing but bring excitement to the ring. I didn't hear nobody say he was going to beat Martinez or anything. I don't know what idiot told that idiot zig zag Kirkland resembles Tyson except maybe for the fact he always comes forward looking to knock you the **** out.

Why is everybody hating on him so much? I knew his chin wasnt golden but thats what makes him fun to watch because he always battles back. He'll be back. Needs Anne Wolfe though. Really shes the only person that can save him. It's an American-Natedatpkid hate thing. Everybody's either enjoying it because they hate me and I admired him or because he's American.

Kinda sad. I don't care what I fighter looks like or where they're from, if they come to brawl, come to fight, and show some heart and guts, their gonna get the most love from me..
