Anyway, I'm not getting my hopes up with Kirkland. He's fun to watch but he doesn't seem to take the need to improve his skills seriously enough. I wouldn't write him off versus Angulo though.
Trainer is right. There were people who thought Vera would win. RozzySean was one of them . I think I offered him a sig bet. I can't recall if he accepted it.
I'm not arguing that nobody thought Vera would win, I'm just saying that the idea that "everybody" thought Vera was gonna win was off the charts crazy, obviously 25 out of 26 people is pretty solid.

Kirkland is great to watch though but it will be his downfall, he's just too wild, he's gonna get clipped, its inevitable.

He just has to tighten up his defense and relax in the ring...IMO his being fatigued may have been more of him tryinmg too hard then anything....But either way with all that crap Wolfe does to increase stamina he should have been fresh throughout......

As for Vera.....

The guy is tough as nails and can take a hell of a shot but it will lead to a very short career
