Had wondered where he was and why he wasn't fighting. Looks like he might not be fighting for quite sometime.

--- Never got the Molina controversy. Molina's trainer entered the ring to save his fighter from being knocked out, end of story. Controversial is when Uncle Rog entered the ring to start a fight with Steele and ring officials where Floydy should of been DQed.

 

I guess it doesn't matter in the greater scheme if Kirkland never reached his potential if it continues to add on to his rap sheet. Probably would have a better record had he relocated to Timbuktu where he didn't know anyone to keep him in trouble. Assault is a minor charge save for him being a pro boxer and felon on probation. Blessed with talent but no brains or judgement, shame that. MexMolina and LadyLara would die for his natural attributes.

James a few moments ago on FB:

[h=5]"The other night night I made a major mistake I got into it with a brother like friend that turned into a little brawl ..nothing major but my action wasn't of myself..so to friends, family and love ones and followers.. sorry for not making a better decision / we all make mistakes ..but I learned from mines"[/h]

Amazing to think that just a few years ago, Max was pontificating that Kirkland may be the one that could defeat Pacquiao....

 

--- Maxie's been slapsied way to much to be intelligible enough to comment on any ranked fighter. Boxing has the dumberest commentators of any major sport, hands down.
