Comments Thread For: James Kirkland Brian Vera Score KO Wins in Texas

[billfifty]

Kirkland looked bad considering the nature of his opponent. He's meant to make a statement, type of fighter you knock-out with the opening punch. Just really bad, open and wide... I don't see this as a step forward in any form. if he's going to keep knocking out bums... well done. Otherwise...

Least he's back with Wolfe-pack.

Really...knocking guys out with the very first punch....like exactly who....Ali, Tyson....who...neither of these guys did anything like that in the pros.....who exactly is doing this great throwing one punch in a match....who are you comparing him to? Who was he exactly suppose to fight after his first knockout lost? A top ten fighter? A title holder?.....please tell me. And if knocking a guy out in the first round is considered slacking ...O' I forgot in your bizarro world, guys throw one punch at the opening bell in win...it's that easy. This is definately a good move in the right direction and shows he left the nest to soon...good he went back to Ann Wolfe. This chick is physcho but I love her training style.

yeah, it's a step in the right direction. get him use to feeling punches again instead just sparring. hopefully wolfe continues to improve his defense and everything...

keep feeding bums to kirkland. As soon as he steps up to a top 50 ranked boxer he's dead. Look at those wild ****** punches, he's 1 straight right hand away from retirement.

Kirkland did put on a decent show against a good opponent in Joel Julio a little while ago, I think he is on his way back to that point with Wolfe as his trainer. Just takes more than one fight with her to bounce back. And fights in front of crowds with no equipment and 12 oz gloves is way different than sparring, regardless of opposition. Lastly, he gets paid for these fights, a few grand, maybe even closer to $20-40k, so I can understand why he's fighting so regularly. Besides, he's a throwback, and very exciting to watch without a doubt.

The Racket Squad: Kirk's Quirk

When you get stopped in one stanza by a guy with 6 KO's to his credit, that's the ball game.
Once put in tough, all of Anne Woolf's military tactics will not salvage Kirkland's exposed whiskers and fragile, mental nature.

Khan got caught and that happens in this sport.
Kirkland just fell apart.
That creates more pieces to attempt and put back together.
Going savage on lesser men will not rectify this problem.

Sharpe didn't do anything . He stood there and let kirkland use him like a punching bag.
