    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.
    who is the don?

    who is the don?
    Jaidon Codrington (sp?) runner up in the contender.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    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.

    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.

    I'm picking Vera TKO...

    I like Kirkland and I think he's exciting as hell.
    But I just think he's gonna be a little too wild and is gonna get caught by the more relaxed and composed Vera.

    Yeah I have no defense for that other than to say, Ann Wolfe will probably beat a drum in the corner during rounds to assure Vera is off pace.

    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.
