So What Did We Learn?

James Kirkland deserves a lot of credit for the Angulo fight, he didn't just win, he came back from an early 1st round KD to destroy the highly regarded Perro. Remember that before the fight, most of us armchair "experts" weren't giving Kirkland much of a chance, good job James.

Put me in that category. I had that fight going almost exactl;y the opposite of how it turned out.

Great thread. We should have a recap like this every week. I agree with the OP on everything, except Angulo and his future. Angulo made a mistake and punched himself out, thinking that Ishida knockout Kirkland out so easy, so can he.

Normally , a fighter would recover or take it easy in the next round , but Angulo dropped his hands and got caught with punches that a "normal" fighter wouldn't get up from. If they had a rematch , and Angulo fought a smart fight, I could be any man's fight.

Interestingly, it was Kirkland that was more intelligent in the ring and nobody expected that.

Me too, congrats to Kirkland! Both guys put on an amazing fight!
