Kirkland's new head trainer has never trained a fighter professionally and the other dude is a strength and conditioning coach. Leaving Ann Wolfe and going with an inexperienced team for the biggest fight of his life is a huge gamble, probably a very stupid gamble. Wolfe knew what made James tick, she worked his ass in shape and into a beast. The only time he wasnt with her he got KO's round 1 to a light puncher. Bad decision, but we'll see how it plays out.

Top Ranks boxing show on tru tv is pretty good, more competition
Definitely. Their debut show with Ponomarev looking impressive against Zewski in a fight between 2 unbeaten prospects looking for bigger fights and Beltran smoking Ao and still missing out on his title.

The card after this one is pretty good too. I like what they're doing, hopefully they keep it going and don't turn it into the Versus deal they had.
