James Kirkland vs Joel Julio & Victor Ortiz vs Vivian Harris on March 7th

[killersheep]

nice couple of fights there should be good viewing

Never seen any of kirklands opponents up until now but know joel julio quite well and this should definitely be tough going for kirkland.

Without getting shouted down in flames i just dont rate Ortiz as highly as he gets touted on here though vivian harris has been around the block and back and is surely just fighting for the money which assures victor a win.

Here ya go Kirkland's strengths and weaknesses in one round.

This could be the fight that James Kirkland gets exposed, i think he's very beatable he was sucking wind after only 5 rounds against Brian Vera. And he's very hittable, sure he has power but power only gets you so far. I don't see anything special in him, he is very exciting and good for the sport. But i sense a bit of an upset here if it could be considered an upset, that Joel Julio won.

I think Kirkland is there for the taking, but I'm not sure Julio will do it.

Harris almost got knocked out by a guy with like two wins last time out. Should be brutal.

Wow i just checked up he was down twice in the first round by a guy, with 7-4 record maybe it isn't such a good step up for Victor Ortiz after all.

Yeah, the videos out there somewhere, maybe youtube, I don't know, he was legitimately hurt and apparently the stoppage was controversial too.

Vernon Forrest, I don't like him, but he'd knock Kirkland out IMO.
