KIRKLAND
Most fans probably don't know that James Kirkland had a active 2019. Winning bought his bouts by KO against Colby Courter and Jas Phipps. Not exactly big name fighter for a guy like Kirkland. However he took three years off after his devastating knockout lost against Saul Alvarez back in 2015. Kirkland still holds an 83% knockout ratio.

HERNANDEZ
There really is not much to say about Hernandez. He is coming off a spilt against Kevin Newman II back in Nov of 2019, scores Kermit Bayless 73-79 | Max DeLuca 73-79 | Glenn Trowbridge 72-80. He started his pro boxing career after James Kirkland lost to Canelo.. if that puts things in perspective.
Prediction
This fight for Kirkland should be no different than his two fights in 2019. Mark Anthony Hernandez carries a 16% knockout ratio with three losses. He started his boxing career in 2017 and really has no one on his resume. This will be a short night and its suppose to the a short night. This is to highlight that James Kirkland is back and he is ready to take on a bigger named fighter. But one thing we all know for certain is that whether win or lose, Kirkland is going to bring the electricity.
