The last time Austin, Texas' James
Kirkland [27-0, 24 KOs] found himself in the midst of a meaningful
bout against an able bodied opponent, this writer was ringside.
In a headlining bout as part of HBO's
Boxing After Dark in San Jose, California, James Kirkland dismantled
a game Joel Julio, ultimately finishing the Colombian in six rounds.
It was the kind of performance that, if Kirkland was somehow not on
your radar, after that March 2009 performance he most certainly had
to be.
