James Kirkland vs Curtis Stevens

Who wins and how?

[-Antonio-]

Stevens knocks Kirkland out cold.

I want to pick Stevens, but he doesn't look too good when being pressured. This is a firecracker of a bout and I hope HBO tries to make it happen.

def would be a good one. kirkland would have to move up though. not sure stevens can go any lower.

[BlackSnakeMamba]

Kirkland via KO in the 3rd round. He's gonna fight a boxer who's actually 2-3 inches shorter than him.

Matchmaker, I think you're unto something bro!!

[BlackSnakeMamba]

I want to see Kirkland become a champion. I love to see him fight Demetrius Andrade.

It is a close fight to me. Stevens takes a punch better but off his last fight Kirkland has a higher work rate and seems to be a better all around fighter. Kirkland by KO.

[BigZigga]

Kirkland by KO. Stevens had the edge in boxing ability but he wouldn't be able to hang with James' pressure. Great matchup

Stevens is a very fast starter. Kirkland is not a defensive wizard and is vulnerable early.

I see this as either a KO1 for Stevens, or if Kirkland makes it out of the first still on his feet, I see something like a mid rounds stoppage for him over Stevens.
