I made a comment on Yahoo Sports when they had Tapia as the next great thing since coffee ice cream that these sports writers should go back to school before writing a column. They were calling this guy the next Gatti and giving him credit and for what????? Tapia and his team had one plan for Kirkland and after 30sec he was lost. There's a lot of blame to go around as for why this kid got stopped and you can start with his training team. I'll bet the next time they watch tape on James they'll watch more then the 1st minute. James beat that boy down like he should have, since they didn't show him the respect he deserved. ....

So glad to see Kirkland back. I just hope he stays with wolf and stays dedicated this time around.
His chin held up well too. His chin is all about his focus. If he is focused, he can ride out storms. If he is not focused he gets hurt by punches he does not see.

The only fighter that trains harder than James Kirkland is Floyd Mayweather - Hard work - dedication! Truthfully I would like to see James in another fight before he fights a Canelo or (GGG???) - James gets hit, and Canelo is dead on Accurate, the thing with James that's so scary is he smothers you, normally you have to smother the big puncher's punches, but James does that part for you, he just grinds you into dust. The man runs 8 miles a day when training in construction boots - then he drags that tractor tire with the chains hanging from it wearing construction boots, then he jogs behind the pickup truck hitting the heavy bag and speed bag in Construction Boots. See how honest he got when HBO dude asked him about his preparation - Ann puts him through hell and what people don't understand is she does the shyt with him - Ann Wolf is training next to him, not going 100 % but putting in the work keeping him honest..

Kirkland didn't call out Floyd. I gotta be honest, I don't think Kirkland would beat him, but it would be better to watch than a Khan-Floyd fight.

further looking upon his Instagram the Tapia comes off soft. Kirk knew he was ready to go to hell Tapia wasnt
