Angulo-Kirkland, Quillin-McEwan: My take on these fights
By Chris Williams: The November 5th card headed by Alfredo Angulo vs. James Kirkland is somewhat decent card, but not really blistering hot like some people think it is. I think Angulo is a really good fighter, but Kirkland was already exposed Nobuhiro Ishida last April in a 1st round knockout.
