James Kirkland's performance last night

[TeleTuff]

All I seen was Kirkland Wupping ass,I think his opponent was tough as nails to take all of those shots.and Kirkland looks to me to have A ton of training under his belt,to keep the pressure on like he did throwing power shot after power shot,personally I think Kirkland is the best at 54.

I think he'd seriously struggle against Sergio Martinez, Alfredo Angulo, Paul Williams and even Vernon Forrest. I think he definately should be able to improve, his natural ability is undeniable and he has the "it" factor, but there are some serious flaws in his game. Fortunately for Kirkland everything that he lacks, are things that can be learned.

He looks very beatable to me he looks sloppy and his feet are pretty slow. And he's wide open, he does have awesome power but power only gets you so far. I think he is on the verge of being badly exposed by a good boxer.

At this point in tim Angulo murders him IMO.....I was not overly impressed with Kirkland last night....Vera was like a heavybag in the ring and still even with his pitiful output on offense he was catching Kirkland with the straight rights....Yes Kirkland took them well but he was tired by rd 5 had his mouth open...He also did not take advantage of Vera's lack of output by using it as a chance to work on some things...Put together more combos etc......He at times showed some good head movement but again look what he was avoiding.....

He has a future ahead of him but needs some more work on important things like defense and how to compose himself so he does not tire out...

IMO Anne Wolf will not be the trainer to bring him to the next level...Yes she has some unconventional methods of training that look to impress but all that and he was still fatigued by mid rounds??...Something wrong there IMO.....

We will see what happens but again IMO he is not ready for the upper tier anytime soon

He wasn't supposed to beat Brian Vera are you kidding me ? Brian Vera is one of the most limited boxers i've ever seen. God knows how Andy Lee lost to him.

Don't know who on here said that butI never did..Who the hell is Vera?...His best win is over Samuel Miller....The win over Lee was because Lee was exausted and there for the punch...Until then Vera was getting his ass kicked....If he ever met Lee again Andy would not make the same mistake.....

Maybe Kirkland needs to leave Wolfe for a better trainer but he won't do it. It will take her being selfless and firing herself because the two have such a close relationship. They are two birds of a feather and it will take the teacher to realize she's taken the student as far as she can.
