Thread: Canelo vs James Kirkland in May!!

I guess the Cotto fight really did fall through, Canelo and Kirkland are now set to throw down.

Should be a very exciting fight. Kirkland was mentioned a few times in the "fighters you hope rekindle their careers" thread. A win over Canelo would fire him up to the top of the sport, big opportunity for him!

That is the clincher....Floyd v Pacman is definitely on...

I think Canelo can definatley outbox him, but I wonder if he will engage in a firefight.

Canelo does have the better set of whiskers. so he could try to blast Kirkland out quick with a few flash knockdowns.

But if it goes past 3 or 4, then Canelo will get his chin checked: BUT here is the big question.

Is Ann Wolfe in his corner? They have an off again on again relationship. As unorthodox that her training is..she is the WO-MAN!
Ann Wolfe- the woman that sent Laila Ali dancing with the stars...

Thinking Kirkland is going to make Alvarez look like a powerhouse puncher inside of 4. For all of his explosiveness, you cannot miss Kirkland, he short circuits when clipped and he is terribly inconsistent and inactive.

It will be exciting. Kirkland will get KOd. Canelo has a good chin so Kirkland won't get him out of there.

In other words, the perfect opponent for Canelo.

It's an okay matchup considering Cotto has been wasting time. I hope Canelo will lose and think he will win.

Also not a bad match considering it could be a brawl for as long as it lasts... and it would on against the 'been there, done that' paid 12 round beating Cottos been campaigning for against Floyd. That's of course IF the Floyd/Manny fight falls through.

If Ann Wolfe is in his corner, I may just go for the upset-

No more like Floyd v Cotto for the middleweight strap is on.

I judged Kirkland after I watched Ishida destroy him....

But considering Ishida very easily went up to HW and is doing decent it doesn't seem so bad a loss now.

I imagine a late stoppage for Canelo

James Kirkland Still Undecided as To Head Trainer - Boxing News

He needs ann Wolfe for this fight

James 'Dumbass' Kirkland is still debating who his trainer for this fight will be ....ridiculous, he should either get Wolfe or maybe Roach, but really he's more trouble than he's worth at this point.

I was about to reply. I think something about Ann Wolf but I am not sure. I spent 5 minutes looking at Vendetto's avatar and then scrolled down to regain my train of thought and then watched El Kabongs for another 2. Sorry Tam. Your's did nothing for me.
Sorry for the useless post but I have to go find my wife or the dog or something.
