I'm ecstatic that Kirkland won. F*cked up the Dog. Sorry for the fans.........HA!!!
Swept the floor with Angulo. They should put the dog collar back on and send him to the vet.
F*ck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

F*ck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you have against Angulo? I'm by no means a fan of his and I think he's a fairly mediocre fighter, but I don't see anything particularly objectionable about him.

I like his fights.... don't like him. Can't really explain it. Kind of reminds me of Margarito, and that's a strike against him in my own mind. Plus..... I like Kirkland. I'm glad he's back.

telling you....the difference also was punch selection and delivery. Kirkland can still be buzzed and caught off straight fast punches. That cannot be 'untrained'

I'm really happy for Kirkland, it's great to see those kind of redemption stories. I still think his chin and defense will let him down, but he can still have a great career.

Angulo on the other hand is exactly who he was before. A slow, extremely limited fighter.

Good for Kirkland. He probably needs the win more in a way, just to keep him out of trouble. I have to say that was a hell of a first round - even my wife was excited by that!

After round 1 where Angulo was exhausted and hurt much more than Kirkland, Kirkland used the jab and boxed effectively at times. He is still too easy to hit and his chin isn't great.

THey need to match him properly. We all know there are matchups that won't be good for him. With such a fun (and vulnerable guy) why not have him against B level guys that make for fun fights. Let him make money and let us enjoy it. He won't be great but he could be so much fun.

Angulo punched himself out like Mike Jones did in the first Soto Karass fight. Both of them went completely ridiculous. Angulo might have thrown 160 punches in 2 mins and that takes so much out of you, especially when you get cracked by your opponent that same round.

F*ck the crowd. It's ok to cheer for your hometown boy, but be man enough to appreciate a good fighter and a good fight. They did neither. F*ck 'em.
