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

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

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.

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....

It will be good to see Kirkland get some more exposure on HBO. I think he should take care of Vera pretty easily.


ESPN - Legal battle nears end, opening door for Kirkland-Vera battle Nov. 22 on HBO - Boxing

Definate showcase fight for Kirkland, easy money, easy to look good.

I'm sure Andy Lee thought the same thing.

Re: James Kirkland vs Brian Vera as co-feature to Hatton/Malignaggi
This is actually a dangerous fight for Kirkland. Vera is a bigger man. Sure he lost to Jaidon, but Jaidon is a true SMW/LHW. Vera has fought his whole career at or above 160. Kirkland is more polished, Lee and Codrington are both probably better than the guys Kirkland has faced. Vera is a step up for Kirkland in two ways - he's a step up in size and a step up in quality. That's a recipe for an upset.

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.
