I hope not, he doesn't deserve a 10-8 for the first with no strikes. Unofficial count had it 1 strike to 0 for Kirk in first lol.

Thank you , Esteban ! Showed definite improvement and a lot of heart to get up and proceed after the first round. Kamuela isn't as **** as I thought. Just poor game plan. Think of he'd a kept it on the feet for a little in the first before attempting he'd a been more successful.

Kirk still out partying with Brandon in Las Vegas instead of putting those extra miles in.

Good performance by Ribovics, coming back after losing the first and showing heavy hands in the 2nd and 3rd round. Kirk started well, but looked very tired and hurt after suffering knockdowns in the second round. The matchmakers need to make Ribovics vs. Slava Borshchev in the near future.

Typical Kirk performance, good start and slows down midway thru rd 2 as I had said in my prediction breakdown. Ribovics had him out of the there but decision victory here.
