Comments Thread For: Lara: James Kirkland, Now It's Put Up or Shut Up Time!

[MJ223]

Hey fellas its a Joe Frazier appreciation thread in NSB and I would greatly appreciate it if you guys stopped by.

[DoktorSleepless]

you are a idiot. when kirkland won last night. that put him there. the title chose him. do you understand how it works?

I don't understand what you're saying. Are you trying to say Kirkland is the mandatory now? Because he's not. According to boxrec, it was only a semi-final eliminator.

Or if you're saying that being #1 in the division means you can get anyone you want, then that's also wrong. Look at Sergio Martinez. He's #1 and can't get any payday to fight him.

golden boy is doing a brilliant job promoting alvarez. all the dangerous guys like kirkland, angulo, and lara will fight each other while alvarez is on a bum parade.

Dude it's all irrelevant anyway seeing as Lara probably doesn't, and shouldn't give a **** if Kirkand's meant to or wants to fight Canelo next. A call-out, is a call-out.

yes.kirkland is canelos mandatory. and the reason martinez can't get his shot is because arum knows good and well that maravilla aint no cab driver and he would humiliate that famous,and the sorriest champion in the history of mexican boxing.

As much as i like Kirkland i think a solid fast boxer with skills, a guy like Lara beats him pretty easy. He just has to avoid Kirklands wide punches and Lara will win by decision or late round KO when Kirkland is totally gassed. I mean Angula was pretty ******, punchin himself out in the first round already that was dumb. Angula is slow and has no defence. I like Kirkland but a guy like Lara would be nightmare for him. Maybe he could beat Alvarez though.

I completely agree, but with Kirkland's power and size, one shot is all it takes. It would still be a suspenseful fight. But then again, with Kirkland's suspect chin, Lara might just need one shot as well...

I'd favor Lara in this fight. I'm not convinced that Kirkland can beat a fighter who might posses better technical skills then him. I think it was obvious by the way Kirkland was outboxing and beating the blood out of Angulo that Kirkland had the better skillsets in the fight but I wonder how those skillsets would look against someone like Lara who is pretty slick at times.

I'm a lara fan too but this is golden boy's way of protecting canelo from kirkland.
