Sure it kinda crushes the Tyson-esque invincibility he had going for him, but lets be serious here guys, the loss literally means nothing.
He lost to a guy he would have POUNDED before he went to jail.
Going from literally 10 to 15 years of getting hit every day to suddenly not getting hit once for two years HAS to effect the conditioning of your chin.
He just has to spar more and build up his punch resistance again.
i wouldn't be surprised if we see a rematch at this time next year and Kirkland blows him away in a round or two.
First round KO's are nearly impossible to tell anything from. They usually occur cause fighters get caught cold or suprirsed. It happens.
Kirkland's career is far from over
