Kirkland fight SPOILERS!!

[global]

He fought like a dickhead. Went in unprotected and had a scare. Instead of adjusting and tightening his defense up, kept going unprotected and got the inevitable. You would hope he learns from this but I have my doubts, especially after hearing his view of what went wrong with the fight.

Apparently Kirkland hasn't had any sparring and hasn't been talking to his trainer Kenny Adams for the past 4 weeks. It's absolutely ridiculous to think you can go in against a guy who has fought at championship level (I thought he beat Canelo's brother) without that. He needs to get on his hands & knees and beg Ann Wolfe to take him back.

As it is, I don't think he's chinny. He got dropped only by Allen Conyers previously, and he can really punch, and was up immediately & dropping him. Maybe something did happen in prison, but I suspect that his current training system is fucking him. I also think GBP should have given him another easy fight after the Berrio one, there was too much of a jump imo.

Still it all added to a good card for the fans. I've got to say Golden Boy get a lot of stick, but I'm impressed by their willingness to put their guys (Ortiz, Jacobs, Khan, Broner & Kirkland) in tricky fights even if it doesn't always work out.
