James Kirkland vs Brian Vera as co-feature to Hatton/Malignaggi

[killersheep]

Kirkland stamina will be tested. Vera chin is solid. This will be a good fight.

Kirkland is more than capable of being at least as effective as "the Don" and that was over in two if I'm not mistaken.

Don got no chin bro. Vera was tested by Andy lee, his chin is Solid. I doubt a KO here, maybe a TKO with Vera Complaining.

[Spicoli]

I think Kirkland takes this one but his lack of Rounds/defense could catch up to him badly down the stretch

judge for yourself....this is not speculation that was a good stoppage. There is no argument to be made here that Jaidon didn't hurt Vera, there is absolutely no question about that. Every punch that landed at the end there buckled Vera's legs.

I don't think that fight is really relevent in all honesty. I believe Vera said in subsequent interviews how he was uncomfortable fighting to an orchestral score, and not only that but they kept on changing the beat.

I thought he was actually dominating during the heavy drum sessions, but the Contender people kept speeding the tempo up and he lost his rythm.

Had there been less musical accompaniment I think he would have boxed his own fight more. As it was he got hyped up into fighting at too fast a pace, he tried to match the tempo of the percussion.

Without music I think vera would have won.

The "Don" comparison works. Vera should be easy for Kirkland.

The "Don" knocked Vera out on the Contender after allegedly destroying him in the amateurs. Vera was tested by Lee and passed. Lee looked inexperienced in that fight, but a much better boxer than Vera. Not to take anything away from Vera's win: a win's a win.

First off with the contender he took last minute replacement while the rest of show had been training for almost three months and him only two weeks. Never has made an excuse 168 is not his weight fought art that weight because he is a fighter. James needs to watch out because he is finally getting the real training he needs just like he did against Lee. New fighter new erra for him. Watch for the upset . Lee is an awesome boxing and would handle Kirtkland. He is only five seven with heels on. Quit hating and watch the outcome of this fight. James is a greay fighter dont get me wrong but heart and determination will go along ways and he will be tested believe that. Its going to be fire works....

I read somethere that Kirkland is a mirror image of Hatton is this true? Will this fight be worth watching or will it be over before i find my seat?

Any fight with Kirkland is worth watching. He is an exciting fighter that's for sure. He really needs to work on his defense, but he comes guns blazing from the opening bell.

So if you are going, yes, you should be in your seat for this one.

Here is just an example of one of James Kirklands action packed fights. You can check out even more on YouTube.

If Vera knows how to take a guy deep I give him a chance. Watching this vid I see what Kirkland's problems are. Defense and the guy just pours EVERYTHING out. He was hurt by that punch that knocked him down, but I've never seen a guy want to jump back into the frey like that- he looked like he wanted to shove the ref out the way.
