He slipped punches on behalf of Angulo being slow as hell and telegraphing everything. Kirkland does have extremely poor defence, his resting stance is purely a target the way he cocks his left before even throwing it etc. I think Alvarez, or anyone with an outside game, would absolutely pummel him. It was a fun fight for a few rounds last night but really both guys are quite average in the scheme of things.
Kirkland would knock Alvarez back to Ireland.
