[brains4boxing]

i'll take it

i luv it.....2 be honest in a shocker...kirkland by stoppage....and i say if alvarez beats cintron....put him in wit paul williams

[Jack Napier]

wanna see Lara get a title shot after kicking Williams' ass
Kirkland regained some respect/crowd appeal vs Angulo
this is a good fight for them, or at least for fans
Kirkland will get murked
he might not want to risk his WBC ranking though

kirk def made a name for himself after his win over Perrita.. But against Lara its a wrap... Lara smashed on P Will and got robbed, he connected at will using angles that had P Will in a daze. I think Kirk vs Fraudnello will be a much better fight, both hard hitters, except Fraudnello has no KO power as we saw he cldnt even KO a 147 punder in Hatton...Kirk beats Fraudnello, but Lara beats Kirk just bcuz Lara is too crafty, lanky and also athletic. Brawler vs Brawler is always goin to come down to who has the best cardio and timing for that one big shot... but Brawler vs boxer Puncher, its not as exciting but I put my money on the Boxer Puncher all day everyday... Using yoru jab all night long to keep the distance and counter punch, the boxer puncher will win...

isn't this the same guy who got a "gift" against Carlos Molina???

[nycsmooth]

would be an exciting bout but Kirkland won't take it..he wants the red head after Cintron...by the way what cliff did Paul Will fall off, time to get back..

Junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara (15-1, 10KOs) was impressed with James Kirkland's big win on Saturday night in Cancun, Mexico. Kirkland (31-1, 27KOs) gave his career a much needed boost with a sixth round stoppage of Alfredo Angulo. Lara was trying to land a spot on the Kirkland-Angulo undercard. He even tried to fight both of the main eventers, but he was rejected by both camps.

I tip my hat to Lara...for not being a biatch....he calling out beasts...thats whats up!!!....now as for him talking some put up or shut up **** .....like what does Kirk have to put up?!?....he don't have no strap or huge fanbase.....get Kirk and Canelo signed.....Lara can go that strap off K9 and then halla at Kirk for a game of unification ....until then, he need to go get a meaningful W....in other words, go put in some more work.....he need to stop knocking on the door...do like Kirk did and kick that mofo open!!!....go out and get a better than average W....thats kicking the door down.....now he's just knocking..."can I have a fight?!?"....no...now GTFOH!!! lol

i beleive alvarez will end up proving everyone wrong by beating all of these guys.

isn't kirkland the guy who got KO'd by Ishida?

Not everyone has perfect careers. Lara may have got a gift against Molina, but he went on to absolutely beat the crap out of Paul Williams. Likewise with Kirkland, he got TKO'd then beat the crap out of Angulo.

Both are solid fighters.

Very well put. Way too much emphasis is put on a "zero" nowadays. Practically every ATG had several losses in their amazing careers. The "who" and "how" of a loss means much more than the number in the "L" column.
