Comments Thread For: Tapia vs. Kirkland Contract Weight Moved Up To 156

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The Glen Tapia-James Kirkland fight appeared to be in jeopardy earlier Monday, but representatives for the combatants came to an agreement on a new weight for what figures to be an action-packed brawl Dec. 7 bout in Atlantic City.

Pat Lynch, Tapia’s co-manager, told BoxingScene.com on Monday night that the contracted weight for the fight, which will be broadcast by HBO, is now a maximum of 156 pounds. The initial deal between Top Rank Inc., Tapia’s promoter, and rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who promotes Kirkland, was for the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds, plus a pound, which would’ve allowed the fighters to weigh in at no more than 155 on Dec. 6.

Is Kirkland out of prison or hoping to get out soon?

Kirkland is a blight on society and incapable of living as a free man. Talk about a messed up kid. Mike Tyson could help Kirkland sort out his screwed up life even. James Kirkland has that type of face that looks better behind iron bars.

Dude you sound like a real closet racist !!!! This is about boxing not how a guy is living outside the ring!!! Did you ever trained with that man or had any type of interacting with that man ??? Sad your just mad because you were never really that good no talent no reflexes no speed no power !! Oyea no foot work , no reaction time , no Boxing IQ, but if you had half the talent of either of Tyson or Kirkland you would be a star in this World!!! But you don't

Everyone wants to see Kirkland fight and that's a fact. Boxing needs more James Kirkands in this sport. No wants to see two men running around the ring. One thing we know for sure, James comes to fight!!!

Jersey in the house. 50 and Kirkland can fix things however they want-Glenn is gonna touch that chin often and beat his a$$.

This could be Tapia's coming out party. I hope James drops the weight, healthy. If not he's in for a rude awakening.

Kirkland belongs behind bars not in a boxing ring

Kirkland is just a troubled low life incapable of living as a free man. among good decent people. Incarcerate this kid and save society from future crimes.
