Kirkland-Rosado will be a barnburner, bring it on!

Kirkland would be a great opening act. I would prefer that it was against someone better than Rosado though.

what took Kirkland so long to get back in the ring after the tapia fight ? everytime he builds some momentum/buzz he has a layoff after

True but Mandingo has been out of the ring for a while and Gabe is no push over

Lol "someone better" Rosado outboxes sluggish Kirkland easily and most likely gets robbed by the judges.

TRUE that. This guys gets a good camp and has a great outing then nothing. Jail issues, trainer issues promo issues. This guys fun to watch, but doesnt fIGHT often enough to stay fresh in boxing fans minds. he has the exciting style to be very popular.
