    kirkland vs ishida rematch

    saw this on twitter...

    stevemaxboxing, Steve Kim:
    told that a rematch between James Kirkland-Nobu Ishida is in the works Golden Boy's July PPV card

    what do ya think? i honestly think ishida takes it again and i think piroq vs ishida should be made and winner gets martinez.

    Ishida is a solid fighter who has never been stopped despite facing a decent level of competition. In all fairness he was probably the best opponent Kirkland ever fought, and we saw the result. It will take a lot of improvement on Kirkland's part to overcome him. This is not to say that he can't but it's a vital fight to his career. A loss here and we can't put it off as a fluke or a bad night, just a case of Kirkland meeting a better fighter who had his number.

    If Ishida wins, he proves he is better without a doubt and deserves to get another big fight. He was a title holder before so a title eliminator/title fight is not out of question for him as long as he wins.

      Kirkland by KO in 5 or 6.

        This is a good thing for Kirkland, because circumstances just didn't seem in his favor that night. This was probably a loss he needed.

          If Kirkland gets knocked out again in the same fashion, where would he go from there?

          I think Kirkland can and will win the rematch, but we'll know when we see it.

              Kirkland will bounce back, late TKO

                Kirkland claims it was a fluke, an unfair stoppage, then there should be a rematch.

                  I'm more curious about what the main event will be on that PPV...perhaps Judah vs. JMM

                    if this rematch gets made, kirkland will have to work harder than ever. if he loses i dont think hell be seen as a threat and more of a bum therefore, he will just be fighting nobodies again. i honestly think this will make him or break him.
