Kirkland vs. Molina this Saturday

By Jim Dower: Junior middleweight contender James Kirkland (30-1, 27 KO’s) will be looking to put in another impressive performance when he faces the red-hot Carlos Molina (19-4-2, 6 KO’s) this Saturday night at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas. Kirkland, 28, will be coming into the fight with a big power advantage over Molina. However, it might not matter that Kirkland has the better power if his weak chin fails him again like it did last year when he was blown out by the quick but light hitting Nobuhiro Ishida last April.
