Why is Kirkland sparring with bums?
Kirkland is not really gonna learn anything if he is sparring with dudes who have no pop and have a beer belly.Comment

was that guy even getting paid for that?
James came across as a bit of a savage there. Pretty glad he got destroyed by the Japanese fella.
It just seemed like a clubber who was game enough to step in getting destroyed. Poor show.Comment

People have a high opinion of their opinion and will not hesitate to try to pass it off as fact.
"Kirkland has no chin"... As if the ***** didn't run through Julio, who stopped one of the current titlists.
"Kirkland has no defense"... As if he hasn't held pretty much everyone except for Ishida under a 50% connect rate. His offense and sparse head movement is his defense.
Whatever happened in 27 wins < what happened in his 1 loss. To be expected...Comment

The problem with Kirkland is, he needs much better quality guys who don't gas out.
Any boxer or just a guy doing boxing training will tell you, when you're gassed out, you can't punch hard, defend and spar properly.
Basically these guys are punchiung bags to boost confidenceComment

it's called puttin in work.
not every sparring partner is going to be A class or even B class. You need to put in rounds. Remember he just started sparring again under wolfe, the point is to get him rounds and a workout. If one guy gasses, they put in the next guy. It's called rotation. You guys know anything about boxing?? He's also been sparring with Vera, who is a solid fighter.
He doesn't even have an opponent lined up yet. Once he does, you would expect they will bring in guys that are similar to that style. As for now it's about getting into shape and ready to fight.
As for Kirkland being a "savage" that's the only way he knows how to fight. If he's going 100% in sparring, that's what I would want to hear. I don't want to hear he's going 50% or taking it easy on sparring partners. That's not James Kirkland and that's not Ann Wolfe. It's about intense work outs, all day every day.Last edited by ИATAS; 06-10-2011, 12:45 PM.Comment

I feel you 100%, it's just the Philly gym war scene. Every trainer wants to have a 1 up on the other. SO if we're not getting work in with our teammates, we're going full force.
A lot of times we're not from the same gym, have different trainers, etc. You don't want anyone coming to your gym and 1 upping your fighters - that's the rule we go by here. And when we go to other gyms, we make sure we destroy ****. Yes, it's just sparring.. but as you can see.. fighters gloat about what they do to other fighters in sparring all the time.Comment
