Mandingo will sign to Al, where he will be used as a stepping stone.


War Mandingo anyway, get your money!

Unless Kirkland develops some kind of defensive responsibility he needs to seek release from his boxing career.

[Ravens Fan]

Being in limbo is probably the safest place Kirkland could be.

Exactly. Probably a blessing in disguise that Kirkland takes more time off after that bad beating he took against Canelo.

Al seems to be the best choice for kirkland he'd get paid well fighting bums

I foresee a year or longer hiatus for Kirkland & maybe a stint in county.

50 has mismanaged every fighter signed to that joke of a promotions. Dirrell bounced because he said 50 couldn't secure him any fights. Kirkland has been beefing with him and was inactive because he complained about the money he was offered for fights. Gamboia career is in shambles since signing. Kirkland and all the other fighters should bounce ASAP from that sinking ship. Kirkland would be better off with golden boy, haymon or top rank.

Yuriorkis Gamboa just shakes his head.

If 50 filed bankruptcy that would mean they are free agents. Kirkland needs some rest, Anne Wolfe and easy fight back.
The right promoter could bring him back. I will watch his fights regardless of opponent because his fights are great, KO one way or the other. He took about 20-30 shots from Canelo that would have KO'd almost any fighter and still came back in the fight.
Kirkland vs Angulo rematch, it will still be a war, they wouldn't have it any other way. Put Provodnikov vs Rios on the undercard and it would be worth PPV. $100 wouldn't be too much for that much action.
