Gamboa to 126? James Kirkland-Deandre Latimore?

it was a 130 fight, just looking at boxrec he came in at about 128 and a half.

Ok.

I think 126 is still his ideal weight.

I posted a couple weeks ago about Angulo-Tsurkan and how it would be a good fight. They are matching Angulo with all the hard hitters I imagine Joel Julio would be next after Tsurkan. Tsurkan isn't bad, very hard hitter could be interesting. Angulo should win.

Latimore's chin really isn't up to par but he does have some serious skills. I've seen 1 round of Kirkland and that was against Albert on HBO. Couldn't draw much but supposedly he's open a lot. Latimore could possibly make him pay especially with his straight punches which are nice. He won the fight on his straight left hand last time.

That's surprising about Gamboa, I figured a move to 135 was a lot more likely then a move down. Not sure what to think. Linares, Guerrero and Luevano are all pretty good I imagine Gamboa wants to compete for a title soon, don't know how he factors in with those guys yet.

What you see with Kirkland is what you get, he comes to hurt you.

He's probably got an early KO in his future but he'll knock some other people out too.
