Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

Ann Wolf's fighter James Kirkland in Fight News




Kirkland stops Vera in absolute slugfest




"The televised co-feature bout of the evening featured two heavy-handed boxers in a scheduled 10-round middleweight contest. With a combined 31 knockouts in 40 fights between the two of them, Fort Worth’s Brian Vera took on favored fellow Texan James Kirkland of Austin."

I watched on T.S.N. and thought Kirkland is a one handed fight but hits very hard. Vera is very tough but could not take Kirkland's terrific shots to the body. Vera's face was like a catcher's mitt absorbing Kirkland's best punches.
