Currently Kilrain is woefully represented in the game , omg what were they thinking?

STANCE - Chamge to right handed. He was not a southpaw.

FOULS - Change to Frequently - In boxings dirtiest, no holds barred era, Kilrain was maybe the dirtiest and wildest of them all, a very nasty fighter.

FIGHTING INSIDE - Change to 4 - Kilrain was the most effective brawler of the era at heavyweight. This was his whole game plan an 19th century carmen Basilio.

GO GOR KNOCKOUT - Change to 2 - one of many ratings needing changing due to woefully under estimating his power, he wasant a ko artist but he had very respectable power.

DRAW POWER - Change to 6. He was a draw yes, but not massively so. So this needs toning down.

CONTROL VS BOXER - Change to 8. He did struggle vs boxers yes as did the majority of guys in this era but it shouldnt be that low.

CONTROL VS SLUGGER - Change to 11. Needs bumping up considerably so he can compete with John L and take his place as the 2nd best brawler of the day., which is his historical place.

CHIN VS KNOCKDOWN - Change to 3. Was vulnerable to a knockdown, the quality of his chin was more about recovering greatly and getting back up.

CHIN VS KNOCKOUT - Change to 1. Although sometimes floored he nearly always got back up, until very late in his career.

RECOVERY - change to 1. Again he nearly always recovered well and fought back.

ABSORB PUNISHMENT - Change to 1. Kilrain was a very hard man to stop as witnessed by John L in there marathon contest.

AGRESSIVNESS - Change to 10. He only came foward and was known to be relentless and predatory.

HITTING POWER - Change to 7. What where they thinking here? Kilrains KO percentage is quite impressive in this era and although his stoppages are more accumilation of punishment, I am confident in giving him at least a 7.

PUNCHES LANDED - Change to 38. Again way out. Kilrain was no club fighter but a major contender of his era. Not a speed merchant by any means at least give him and average of 38.

COUNTERPUNCHING - Change to 34. Bumped up slightly to bring it in line with the new punches landed.

OVERALL RATING - Changes to 7. This increases Kilrains rating from 3 to 7. A much fairer represntation of his historical place. Not quite good enough to beat the champs of his era he is kind of the Jerry Quarry of his era good but not great.

Next Peter Jackson.
