This is random as fukk, but whatever.
I rewatched Kirkland/Joel Julio last night while getting blazed as fukk. It's funny when you look back at old vhs tapes of boxing and you can see shyt in perspective as far as how things eventually turned out.
- I can see Kirkland/Canelo looking similar to Kirkland/Julio. James rushing in while Canelo tries to power box and catch dude in exchanges. It worked for Julio in spots and Ginger is a better fighter than Joel, but his stamina is definitely going to come into question again against Kirkland. Julio and Tapia landed some crazy clean hard shots and while it buzzed James, they never stopped him from going beastmode. It's funny how Kirkland has been around through so many changes of the guard. HBO showed a graphic with all the top 154lbers and you had Sergio, Viper (R.I.P.) Punisher, Drinzinrik (yeah I fukked up his name) and Angulo who only had 15 fights at that time.
-Seeing a young Victor Ortiz destroy Mighty Mike in a couple rounds
, but
at what he eventually became known for in the future.
- Watched Vitali vs Juan Carlos Gomez since it was on the tape after that card. I forgot ESPN2 showed that shyt. Gomez had the right game plan in the 1st round, but it went downhill from there. Big Bro was landing some mean ones on that nikkas face.
- I even forgot Eddie Chambers and Samuel Peter fought. That was on the tape too. Fight had nothing memorable so that shyt kinda got erased mentally.
I been missing a lot of recent boxing, so I gotta dig up old shyt to get my fix.
