This is very disappointing to say the least. I'm a HUGE fan of Kirklands. I just can't understand why these guys can't stay the fck out of trouble. He's on the verge of stardom and million dollar paydays and he does something dumb like that. He had a lock on Dzin this summer...now I'm sure that's in jeopardy. I just hope this doesnt result in a felony conviction. If it does, he fcked. Michael Nunn was the same fcking way. The guy couldn't avoid trouble if he went to the North Pole.
sux
james should know better, i'm guessing if he didn't want to be held up with no protection, so he was packing
if you're black, in TEXAS, it's a no brainer, don't carry unlawfully
the cops aren't the fairest in texas, eric moats was fuct with in dallas

Kirkland does act like an airhead, its no surprise he'd get into this mess.
Crow and Zerwas, in fairness, the entire planet was wrong about Hoya, and all evidence leading up to the fight suggested an Oscar wipeout. None of us could have predicted he would mess his body up that horribly.
He made a smart analysis of Wright/Williams, but also called Gomez/Klitschko a basically even fight.
The most common flaw I see in his analysis is he gives too much credence to the distant past and not enough on recent changes and unknowns, like new trainers and strategies and such.

i was reviewing the froch-pascal fight
from what i saw, he doesn't have what it takes to beat jerman taylor(consistent, smart pressure ala kelly)
jermain should wipe this dude up, froch's hands and footwork are too slow

Most of us here wrong, but if one looks closer, there were plenty of tell tell signs, like Hoya not training right (Valero).
Dwight makes good points, but sometimes boxing and good sense don't mesh well.
On maxboxing forums, a guy had predicted to the letter weeks in advance what would happen with Hoya trying to go down in weight .
well crow, you were right about the Gamboa under wager and I was way off. Maybe it's time I am right on one. Taylor-Froch is still a tough one to call. Line is leaking up on Jermain but that doesn't mean squat.

I wagered on J.T. already
Taylor has been there done that. Pascal has to be kept in prespective...he's not done much yet.
Taylor went 12 hard with Pavlik at 166, and Froch is no Pavlik brother. Froch is tough and likes to mix it up.....but his skills aren't as sharp as Taylor.
and
the under of Sturm/Sato...i agree with the above post. Sato hasn't back up from anyone yet .... i have quite a few of his Japan fights, after becoming a fan after his debut in the U.S.
Sturm will be able to land and Sato will be looking for bombs. I except Sturm can beat him up....but good under odds, since Sato hasn't fought anyone and doesn't go many rounds.

Regarding the Taylor-Froch fight, the bottom line is that Froch just is not all that good fellas. Taylor should have little trouble with him, but he IS Jermain Taylor, so he will make the fight tougher than it should be.
Taylor - UD
:thumb:
Watching more video of Froch indicates he is/can/will be very agressive. This should make for an exciting fight. Froch wants to make a big splash in the US and get his name on the marquee. I don't think he feels this will be accomplished by a lackluster performance. Possibly he may even have intentions of putting Taylor to sleep. All the better for Taylor I'd say.
I have money on Taylor with taylor the last link in a parlay.
I was betting Froch against Pascal and was shocked by his performance. He was super tight and didnt move his head out of the way. He has a solid chin.
But he is no pressure fighter, he is waiting in front of his opponent. I believe Taylor likes that because he will not be pressured through out the fight like against Pavlik or Winky.
If the odds are good i will hedge with froch inside, i dont see him winning on points in the US against Taylor.
I am not a big Taylor fan but i believe he will take this one.
But no big betting opportunity imo.

On the Sturm-Sato undercard Saturday (per fightnews):
"In other fights, WBA #3 middleweight Gennady Golovkin (15-0, 12 KOs) from the Spotlight Boxing Team now takes on Anthony Greenidge (13-2-1, 5 KOs) after original foe Tarvis Simms pulled out due to visa problems."
I wanted to bet against Simms....I imagine this guy would have beat him.
Oh well, lots of other action this weekend.

you're right....very good article
just confirming what people have said around here for awhile
Dirt McGirt is a curse...if you are with him, you are gonna lose the fight
seems like mcgirts is in a rut
he hasn't developed as a trainer, not learning anything new, just same old "good baby" shit
look at freddie roach, he has PARKINSONS, and he keeps trying to evolve and add new wrinkles

Thanks for the article link. it makes you wonder how much Mayweather Sr has had an effect on Hatton compared to how bad Malig looked. maybe Hatton will revert to his old self once he gets hit by Pac, and it will be a wipe-out after all.
