Kov is gonna dump JDJ breh. Im happy for Algeri i think he'll do better at this than actually boxing.
This is really dope.

I think he can really be successful in this role, he just has a really tough first time assignment.

I can see JDJ hollaring at him for the Ward-KKK rematch
I think he plans to get into medical school too. Its good to see a boxer with a back up plan if their boxing career doesn't pan out as desired.

Does anyone in boxing have a chin more bizarre than James Kirkland?

The nygga is literally ready to go within the first 4 rounds of a fight. You got a legit chance to KO him, even if your a light puncher.

After the 4th or 5th round though, he actually has a solid chin and is a pain in the ass to deal with.
Its odd with a style like his. Cotto will test that chin. I think after the Margarito fight people forgot that cotto actually has some scary power and was able to carry some of that up to MW (albeit catchweight) and KO martinez. Once time earlier in his career where he broke a guy's arm. Now question is can he deal with kirk's pressure because he does fold at times

Amir Khan: If I Was a Bit Bigger, I Would Have Taken Canelo Out!


By Miguel Rivera

Former world champion Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) was honored at the WBC's 54th Convention, which took place in Florida. The WBC gave him an award for his unstinting work in Pakistani communities, particularly in education.



Khan is planning out his return for 2017 - and he wants to fight again no later than a date in April.

In August, he underwent two surgical procedures to correct some issues with his right hand. Surgeons had to take bone from his hip and grafting it on to his damaged hand – holding it together with metal pins. He was ordered to stay away from using that hand for three months.

In his last fight, Khan took a huge risk by moving up to a catch-weight of 155-pounds to challenge Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) for the WBC middleweight title in May. In what was the very first boxing event to be held at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo brutally knocked out Khan in the sixth round.

Khan did very well when the contest started, but Canelo's clear advantages in size and strength proved to be too much to overcome.

"I was hitting Saul with some good shots. If I was a bit bigger and heavier I would have taken him out. It was a great experience for me, but you have to respect weight categories. I tested myself, but it just didn't work for me," Khan said.

Khan is still the mandatory challenger to the WBC welterweight title, which is held by Danny Garcia. On March 4th, Garcia will defend the WBC belt in a unification with WBA champion Keith Thurman. Khan would be in line to face the winner.

Another option is a very lucrative fight with his UK rival, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook - who is currently under order to make a mandatory defense against Errol Spence.

that's another thing they couldn't agree on. One team wanted to know about the tests in advance. The other didn't wanna pay for all those tests lol.

Neggas gonna come in looking like the Hulk lol
Do you know what the official drug testing is an going to be for this fight? Is it VADA or none at all?

And do you wanna say who wanted to know in advance and who didn't want to pay?
