Comments Thread For: Kirkland's Ex-Trainer Gives Alfredo Angulo The Edge

[Carlos Alberto]

And that my friends is why Floyd is one of the greatest of all time! Because without a great defense u can't have a great offense! Kikrland and fighters like him who think offense first will always lose. This is gna be a brawl with Perrita winning! Idk why evryone is so excited about this fight! Its gna be a streeet fight!

Both Angulo and Kirkland are offensive-first fighters. They both have a single loss each out of twenty-something fights. I think it's safe to say they DON'T ALWAYS LOSE because they're offensive-first fighters! Your boy Floyd is one of very few who have figured out how to win while being EXTREMELY defensive. Being too defensive usually works against you because you focus too much on blocking punches as oppose to throwing them.

this guy is dumb... why didn't you train kirkland to have defense during sparring?

"Angulo's youth and a little [more] speed will help him overcome Kirkland's power."

Ken must be thinking about Fernando Angulo if he believes Angulo has a little more speed than Kirkland. Angulo is one of the slowest fighters in the Jr. Middleweight division. Kirkland is faster, will be the only one throwing straight punches, so if he's strong enough to push Angulo back, he's going to run through him; if he can't, it'll be a competitive fight. Kirkland will surprise doubters on the 5th of November.

I agree that kirkland will surpise doubters, ok he will never be a great fighter, but he will bring exitement to the sport at s long as he fights. Ihave the faith that ann wolf will bring the warrior spirit back to him.

Angulo is a pressure fighter but I think its intelligent pressure not devoid of defense. I mean he gets hit alot because he is always coming forward but he is keeping a high guard at least while Kirkland is just recklessly coming forward throwing wide looping power shots leaving himself terribly exposed which cause him to be exposed.

They both have no defense but Kirkland is more explosive and has better hand speed and foot speed I got Kirkland winning by KO or UD

I agree with you, Floyd is one of the few people who has figured to win by bein defensive, but u gotta admit he also has anack for bein the best counterpuncher in the game and connecting at the right time, his timing is also great! But if ur gna be defensive like Barker and not let his hands go at all, than ur right its gna work against you! Let's see what happens Nov 5th! Its gna be like watching a street fight whoe ever connects first and at the button! But Kirkland has a weak chin!

angulo is gonna win via KO/TKO even if kirkland did not lose to the japanese guy like his trainer said he still needs to work on his defence lets face it with the prison sentence and sloppy style in his comeback fights it was bound to happen sooner or later

[cdub2]

Kirkland will KO this guy

[Tobi.G]

50:50 fight. Cant wait! It will be an explosion! What his ex trainer said makes sence, but this time Kirkland has much longer time to train and hes back to his old trainer.
