      I'm down for this. Not sure if Johnson has top level power but his style could wear down lots of people. Kirkland would be coming up in weight too so that could make it even.

      I'm also in favor of Stevens-Kirkland as well. Big shoutout to the black brawlers and sluggers. We don't all have to be 'slick'

        But remember that was Kirkland's first fight after prison and a layoff.

        But is Kirkland even fighting anymore. We seen how well he does after a layoff, it would be the last thing he would want now.

          obviously Kirkland was not taking those shots well at all, so I guess I was ok with the stoppage...but then it's like Cortez was literally pushing him down lol. I remember being a little angry myself

              I'm ready

              Johnson says he's game.
              No money in this fight...s o I don't see it happening. At best, it'd happen because Kirkland can't find a fight and they say why not

                Kirkland would beat him up. He's better at close quarter attrition drag-out slug-out fights.
