That one stands out. Kirkland was thought to have a granite chin too, he walked through some serious shots in several slug fests in other fights.
It's because he didn't have Anne Wolfe. His trainer was trying to get him to box and apply "smart pressure" but it just left James more open and without the physical toughness Wolfe puts him through in training.
Yet he still got up after the 3rd knockdown. Yet Cortez let Marquez go on after 3 knockdowns.
