Also, it's worth noting that all of Kirkland's troubles came as a result of getting caught flush with that straight right... WHILE he was charging in, backing Angulo up against the ropes. He got careless, got caught, and spent the better part of the round protecting himself while getting his bearings back. Once that happened, he didn't get hit with anything major.
