      He was actually stunned in the fight before Ishida by an absolute can and he has been down before that as well. He just doesn't have a good chin and his all offense lack of D style though fun to watch doesn't help him.

        Pre prison he walked through Julio & Vera's punches, who are bigger puchers than Ishida.

        Two years in prison, then he fought like 3 times in less than a month or something like that above 154 pounds with a different trainer....yeah it could have been a fluke.

        Or maybe he'll never be the same guy as he was before.

        Sure he had been stunned before prison too, but never really hurt and like I said he walked through punches from harder hitters than Ishida. We'll have to see

          It's not a fluke when a fighter goes down from the types of punches Kirkland went down from.

            No, if you have bad defense you will get caught like that even by a light puncher.

              I dont think it was a fluke I think Ishida is better than we give him credit for, and Kirkland went into the fight with that same way of thinking and paid big time for it.
