    James Kirkland vs Austin Trout, who wins?

    Lets say this was next, who wins and why?

    Poll wi be straight to the point, no draw or UD, SD bullshit. Vote and discuss...

    By the way, I picked Austin Trout...his boxing skills would set up a late round KO or a wide UD.

      If his chin holds up...Trout has been dropped twice in his career and has gotten up, and still tried to win.

      Kirkland was KO'd by a feather fisted Ishida.

        He looked like crap in his last fight too. Trout should box his ears off fairly easy!

          Definition of a polar opposite, 50-50 fight. Could see almost anything happening.

            6 months ago, I'd say Trout no question. Now, I'm not so sure.

              Don't act like that was the same Kirkland. Not saying he beats Trout, but having Wolfe in the corner obviously makes a huge difference.

                Trout by KO after countering one of Kirkland wild punches. It's remarkable how Kirkland seemingly compete at a high level while having such a piss poor defense. Against Tapia, he was hit cleanly with almost everything Glen threw in the first round.

                Against Austin Trout, I can't see how Kirkland could work his way in without getting tagged by a clean flush counter punch. I think this would look somewhat like the Ishida fight; Kirkland coming in wild and getting cracked cleanly right on the jaw.

                I like Kirkland because he's so offensive minded and he has that 'killer instinct' but it confounds me that his defense sucks so bad. He has the body type and conditioning to employ a Mike Tyson type pic-a-boo bob-and-weave defense. I'm not sure why they don't work on that with him

                  You must of not heard that Kirkland is a completely different fighter with Ann Wolf. lol. What a joke. Kirkland is that same fighter that was stopped by Ishida, and all of a sudden after he stops Tapia he's different fighter. My question is what makes Wolf such a great trainer, and who else has trained that was worth a ****. Nobody I can think of Kirkland is her best fighter and thats not saying much.
                  Kirkland has a chance with anyone that is will to trade with him but thats about it.

                    Kirkland wins, he will get inside and punish trout. Trout will not hold and try to **** with him.
