Comments Thread For: James Kirkland Snaps Four Year Layoff, Gets KO Win in One

[smeck]

Yeah, he snapped a 4-year lay off.

If he fights anyone with a pulse, he'll be running backwards till he snaps an Achilles tendon.

he fought aguy who was 13-15 what a joke

Kirkland hadn't fought in a couple of years, so what did you expect?

Pacman inspired boxers to come back except TBE LOL

Manny has inspired older boxers to get one last big payday, TBE already has a fat bank account.

Kirkland was already past it and punch drunk before Alvarez knocked him out. He will get hurt as soon as he fights anyone with a pulse

Kirkland is only 35. That isn't super old for the weight. Taking a 4 year layoff after a big KO loss was probably smart. When he's in shape he is a force to be reckoned with. Always fun to watch, good to see him shake off the rust!
