"Typhoon" Ishida knocks out Kirkland

Would your opinion of the outcome of this fight differ if Kirkland hadn't been knocked out by Ishida? In other words, when this fight was discussed a few years ago, who did you think would win?

If Kirkland hadn't been stopped by Ishida, my opinion of the outcome with Angulo would be totally different. I just checked with BoxRec:
James Kirkland - Boxer

Kirkland has fought 5 times since getting out of the slammer, his only loss was to Ishida, granted they were basically 'cans, but he knocked out the other 4, two in the 1st round, and two in the 2nd round.
Two of the KO's by Kirkland were after the loss to Ishida.

So i'm thinking that the loss to Ishida might have been a fluke, and Kirkland might give Angulo all he can handle Saturday night.

That's somewhat what I was getting at. If you had Kirkland beating Angulo prior to the Ishida KO and that was with a different trainer, this could be an upset waiting to happen...

Even though they were legit, it wasn't like Kirkland looked all that hurt from any of the 3 KD's, but you still gotta think Ishida had his number or something, who knows. But I agree, after re-considering a bit, I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Kirkland win Saturday, we shall see, Angulo will definitely test Kirkland's chin.

P.S. I think these 2 mo-fos are going to be getting after it pretty good Saturday..
