James Kirkand to fight on November 6th
September 26th, 2010
By Matt Stein: Unbeaten junior middleweight James Kirkland (25-0, 22 KO’s) will be making his first appearance in over a year when he steps in the ring on November 6th at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey. Kirkland, 26, still doesn’t have an opponent for that date, but that really doesn’t matter right now. It’s not going to be anyone great, says Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.
If Kirkland can resume where he left off a year ago in blasting out all his opponents, then he could be the number #1 fighter in the division in no time flat. He’ll be number #1, but likely be unable to get fights against guys like Manny Pacquiao, Vanes Martirosyan, Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto. I doubt that any of those guys will be willing to take on Kirkland and risk getting beaten up and knocked out.
Kirkland will likely have to be satisfied with facing guys like Alfredo Angulo, Sergeii Dzinziruk, and Kermit Cintron. Kirkland, if he’s able to get back his old form, will likely knockout all of those fighters and quickl make it to the top of the junior middleweight division. Besides Cotto, Margarito and Pacquiao, there really isn’t any competition for Kirkland. I see him destroying Angulo without any problems and taking apart Cintron and Martirosyan. I also think Kirkland would be far too big and powerful for Pacquiao and Margarito.

James Kirkland vs, Anthony Reese make it happen Money talk bult walk. Put this togather.
That guy Anthony Reese would be glad to step in to fight Kirkland in a 10 round. Set it up Oscar da Promoter of Kirkland. Reese vs. Kirkland would be a clash of two warriors.
TEACH HIM HOW TO BOX NOT TRY TO KILL AND MAYBE GOLDEN BOY CAN MAKE GOLD OUT OF HIS HATE.
Not focused enough! Brass onions initially, but if he gets clocked straight on the button I dont think he could handle it. Any of the top ten will give him a problem. He seems like hes in a different world when hes in the ring. You can tell it in his eyes. I dont think Ann Wolfe as his trainer will bring him to a contending level by the very fact she is a woman.
Take your tongue out of Kirklands arse young man
@ bri
LMFO you aint lying. Go to the wrong parts and you’ll ether get shot or hung from a tree.
@State of Texas **** THERES THE NICE PART OF TEXAS THEN THERES THE SHOOT YOU IN DAY LIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE PART OF TEXAS. DONT WANT TO LIVE THERE.
Destroy Alfredo Angulo? Really? Sure James has enough power to eventually KO anybody, but he tends to grind down guys not blast them out. He’s not going to blast out Alfredo Angulo, El Perro will last long enough to crack Kirkland right back, and then we’ll see if he’s for real or not.
the most we know about james kirkland is that he has a punchers chance,with only c+ technical skills , and has not be measured up against world class b- and upward opponents,chin is suspect
has seem him rocked and in trouble by lesser opponents. he needs a fight with a c+ fighter like kermit cintron to gauge his real potential,right now he has inflated hype due to opponents of the c- and lower class.
@ bri
NO ONE SHOULD MOVE OUT OF TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!
i want to see kirkland go up to 160 and beat up danny jacobs
Prepair for the next Jr. Middle weight Champ!!! This boy will be a threat to All boxers trying to get in his way
Kirkland da man at 154. The guy’s super quick, awesome power and good skills and size for a junior middle. Southpaw stance also an advantage. Have to agree with author here… Kirkland would beat anyone at 154
