In opening action, a scheduled eight round super middleweight bout, James Kirkland made a victorious return to the ring and wasted no time in unleashing a barrage of punches that sent the overmatched Ashandi Gibbs to the canvas for the 10 count At 0:34 of round one, the referee counted out Gibbs. With the victory, Kirkland improves to 26-0, 23 KOs while Gibbs falls to 10-3, 4 KOs).
Super middleweight Against a top tier fighter I dont think his power is going to shine like he did as a junior middle. I always thought Kirkland as a BIG junior middleweight anyways.
