My own personal favourite fighter Joe, so thank you for such a warm tribute.
Kirk had a boyishness that endeared him to many and truly was a phenominal talent.
A maverick indeed, who was well named `The Special One`....watched him easily master a much touted ntoine Fernandez, and also toy with the decent Sylvester Mittee, both when he was very much a to a real character.

Beat Roberto Duran too, cracking boxer

Another great interesting story keep them coming Joe

[forthedisenfranchised]

a wonderful tribute. You're so good at what you do, an amazingly talented person yourself, but you deliver on your many talents, so very well done.

[dylanharrington]

To have Sugar Ray praise him up says it all.

[briangardiner]

Great talent I seen both the Jones fights and many others one of my favourite fighters. It is a shame some of the most gifted have another side to them. 🥊🥊

[CavemanSM]

I can really feel your passion love for the wonderful sport of boxing ❤
