Good little scrap if you ask me.. nelson should utilize his height but unfortunately he dont get down like that so they are going to get into a tear up.
Who wins?

I'd have to pick Kirkland by stoppage.
The best time to get Kirkland is in the first as he is a super slow starter and can't spell defense.
Kirkland. Early too. I like Nelson. He's got some skills. But he doesn't take a great punch. He's willingness to trade will be his downfall.
This fight will be short and brutal. Kirkland within 3-4 rds.
Big fat can of explosion here, going to be chunks of someone all over the place :angryxo4:
I'm statring to think they are trying to make Nelson something he is not as far as a rangy mobile boxer, one true to his height. Would love to see it but based on Cuello fight I think his only chance to win vs Kirkland is KO. He stayed disciplined enough but was rocked & rolled far too easily and still walked down in spots. Honestly this is one he needs to revert...stay sharp off jab but stop thinking so damn much..you could literally see him plotting his next move...he should focus on a ko and live or die by the sword, he more than has the power to flatten Kirkland...but awkward moving out, head straight up, prevent defence and trying to turn into boxing 101 might just see Kirkland walk right through him. Shit, he might just do that no matter but fast straight power short circuits Kirkland.
Mandingo shatters Nelson.
