    I'd have to go with Lara because of his boxing skills and movement but dude fights in spurts and against Molina he showed that he's not THAT hard to hit...

    Yeah his team turned down Lara and Lara talked ****, said Kirkland acts tough but he's really soft on the inside.

        If Kirkland isn't getting an immediate shot at the Canelo-Cintron winner, go ahead and match him with Lara. Lara will box him silly. Exciting show by Kirkland against Angulo, but hittable as he is against a slugger like him, Lara should have an easy time schooling him. He deserves a bigger fight after the Williams screwjob.

          **** that ****.

          no boxers for james

          warriors only, please.


          just rewatched the broadcast

          wild event. no sound. buffer walks
          pro angulo crowd
          ...kirkland got stopped by ishida.

          that place was quiet

          outside of unnecessary beatings on his sparring partners it's hard not to pull for kirkland. he looked like a different person in there. no resemblance of the guy that fought ishida. dog shape.

          there's obviously a lot to work on with kirkland as well. for the first half of the first round he was not moving his head. when he did move his head he showed a good amount of speed. there's a lot of talent there. he's always had fast hands as well.


          i want a rematch.
          kirkland should get a big fight after a rest.
          angulo should be rebuild and recover and go without fighting any big punchers for at least a year in my opinion

          and then put them in the ring together again and build it up. this fight was under the radar (not much that could be done of course, considering that angulo wasn't legal to fight in the states and kirkland spent a good stretch of time in prison and then got knocked out by a featherfister)

          the next one shouldnt be
          if angulo can bounce back and fight with a proper gameplan he will at least guarantee another exciting fight for as long as it lasts and there will be demand for it.

          ppv undercard if they really want to do it right and show the sport in a favorable light.

            I don't know about a rematch. I'd be shocked if Angulo ever fully recovered. He took so much excessive punishment, the guy didn't look like he knew where he was from the end of the first on. A rematch almost certainly holds the same result.

              On topic...

              Lara beats Kirkland. Angulo and Kirkland were tailor made for each other, so whoever won was going to look like a million bucks coming out of it. Lara is exactly what Kirkland would get embarrassed against I believe.
