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

[killersheep]

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.

I respect your opinion, but Vera is gonna be throwing looping punches while Kirkland will catch him all night with straighter shots.

Thing is, I think they both throw looping punches...

You could be right, Kirkland might get there 1st... Unless Wolfe can find a way to calm the kid down and have him relax, I thin Vera will be able to fight it out.
More then anything I'm going on instinct here and that's what it's telling me...

A reason to root for James
Ann carries alot of overhead on her gym
See when I take on a charity case, its not alot of skin off my nose,I own the gym,so I can just make the executive decision of,"Oh what the hell,let the kid train".
She doesnt as far as I know,and still keeps taking kids off the street, James was one of those kids. Just the prestige alone will get in better paying customers,allowing her to keep taking care of those kids.
Im rooting,and rooting hard.

I interviewed Ann and James, both are decent, salt-of-the-earth folk. I have a like for James that I don't have as much of for other good fighters. He's not great. He does have flaws. But he is exciting. I want to see him do a lot of good. If he improves he can be the next generation of the division.
