James Kirkland Returns to Boxing...Again

Smitty sat down for a conversation with undefeated Middleweight James Kirkland as he prepares for his April 9 bout against Nobuhiro Ishida at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and available on HBO PPV as part of the undercard of Erik Morales vs. Marcos Maidana. Kirkland speaks candidly about his recent incarceration that put his career on hold, again, for two years. However, through this difficult experience, he feels he has learned much and matured greatly. Now, with new trainer Kenny Adams in his corner, Kirkland is ready to continue his quest for greatness in the ring, a Championship and a better life for his family.
