Angulo vs Kirkland too soon?

[gatorDelux]

my problem though is who ever wins will not get the credit they deserve. For me kirkland and angulo are two of the top fighters at 154 along with lara cotto. Much better than most of the tittle holders.

the smart people will give them credit

and who says the loser cant make ajusments and comebasck strong to be a champ

then that would makke the win looke relly good

fighters are supposed to fight

i understand brining a guy along the right way

but once they r ranked and part of the top of the division

there shouldnt be any ducking or doging

more positives than negatives in these type of fights IMO

wouldnt you be more pumped for the fight if you had just seen them both starch their opponents in the same night? Thats what happend to me on a card arum put where he put gamboa and lopez on the same card. After the night was over every one wanted the fight to happen but arum waited to long.

You've got a good point, pimp and I understand.

But if they were suddenly call it off, who knows when (and IF) they'd come back together to fight?

And plainly speaking, I personally wouldn't be more pumped to see them starch opponents in back-to-back fights. That'd be like a showcase card. We don't want showcases of skills, we want fights, and fun fights at that.

This has action written all over it...absolutely no exagerration when I post this.

This fight is going to be crazy as long as it lasts.

But I get what you're trying to say, Kirkland has actually more to win than Angulo. Angulo wins, people will call Kirkland a hypejob. Kirkland wins...he's back on track again.

So...I don't care. Don't act so butthurt, dude. Angulo's got this and he gets full credit from me if he wins.

Bottom line: Let's just be happy that this one of the few occasions where a modern dream fight has materialized.

Wise words.

Not as wise as my sig.

the fights i mentioned arent show case fights they are grudge matches. They would get a chance to get revenge on the guys that beat them. Both are coming of wins and I think they are winnable fights but risky fights.

well that would take them awhile bc the looser will get ktfo. But this is just a plan to protect the ginger

[puga]

kirkland by KO, get focused james lad

Of all you can kiss my ass, this is a good fight regardless of the result.

I admire Kirkland for taking this calculated risk. It's actually a pretty big risk for him. A KO loss will set him back immensely but a victory puts him back into contention and gets people talking about him again....

Also, Angulo may or may not be rusty from the long layoff he's had. He fought recently but the fight only lasted a round or two, so it may be a good time for Kirkland to fight him.

With all of the big fights that don't get made when one does all you can do is
