I had the chance to catch up with junior middle/middleweight contender James Kirkland, who’s on the comeback trail and fights tomorrow night on the undercard of Golden Boy’s “Action Heroes” PPV. Most fighters train to music, and Kirkland shared the artists that have been dominating his iPod as of late. Check back here later today for a full piece on Kirkland’s training, split with Ann Wolfe and road back to a title shot.
Ah man, I’m glad you asked me that. I listen to a lot of Hip-Hop artists. You got Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Lil Keke. Dudes from Houston, Texas like J-Dawg. I listen to music for beats and lyrics that reflect my area and inspire me. I even like people like Kanye West. I even listen to R&B and soul. You got people like John Legend, Chris Brown and Usher. There’s some rock and country music thrown in, too.
