Kirkland news, kind of.

[punchfan]

not sure its breaking news necessarily but kind of an assessment of the situation.

Anyway there's an article on boxingscene.

His co-manager is a lawyer and talks about his case. The problem is that he's had prior problems, was even on probation at the time, and its a federal case so there are fairly strict guidelines as far as sentencing. The federal prosecutor is asking for 45 to 54 months.

His manager is "hoping for a miracle" and that would be 18-20 months. If its less than 20 months (he already has 5 months served so it would go to 15 apparently) he could spend the last six months at a halfway house and if that happens he could train while he was there and, according to him, possibly fight.

Ann Wolfe, ODLH, etc will speak at his sentencing hearing.

wow this is sad man i hope he gets his life back together in get in the ring he was exciting!

I really don't see the problems with any of global's posts, it seemed a fairly logical thing to say, & rather than actually discussing his argument (which could have been done), people have started just name-calling & doing some kind of gang 'I'll leave this one to you bro' thing. If you disagree with him, debate with him. I mean how the hell did we end up with paedophiles in this thread? (obviously as a subject, not suggesting any of you like fondling minors)

Anyway on the subject, I'm hoping that Kirkland gets the most lenient sentence, he did something stupid, but the facts of how he did it lead me to believe he's just an idiot rather than a danger to a society (yes I know those are often the same thing).
