How should a Canelo KO of Kirkland be viewed?

[Gandalf]

I would say on a stream and it doesn't mean a great deal. I will be supporting Kirkland as ginger hair is the product of satanism.

I think Alvarez isn't getting any better and may be getting worse since the Mayweather fight. If Kirkland has trained properly and turns up to fight this could be interesting.

I agree with all of the above. Obviously, Kirkland has the power that enables him to pull off a surprise at any moment... but the odds are against him. I'm rooting for him all the way, but in no way will get carried away with HBO's ridiculous avalanche of praise over Canelo. They're bent on hyping him as the next big thing... and will not be deterred. Just goes to show what determined hype can do. Floyd's humiliation of Canelo will be forgiven and forgotten.

[Gandalf]

Also quite surprised to see Canelo has been so inactive since Lara. I didn't realise that. Hopefully Kirkland is motivated and we can just get some good action.

No, I disagree with Jones here. I think Manny was clearly the difference between the two and not 38 year old, clingy Mayweather who in the view of his own Dad was 'fighting scared'. Manny simply wasn't there.

Alvarez needs a career slap and to get out of this identity crisis. What we have is a made to order opponent where he can actually shine as a thinking boxer AND look devastating. Something missing recently My foot might end up in my mouth but I'm thinking

Angulo: Part deux but quicker tko for howdy doody

Is this the fight thread? Michael Buffer's voice is back. Buffer must have been pissed off last week. The biggest fight of his career and he sounded like a bullfrog with the flu.

Alvarez couldn't have looked much better but to be fair Kirkland couldn't have looked much worse.

I've got Colonel Bob and some amazingly swishy guy as the colour man. Anybody know who the hell it is?

I'm glad he's OK, he sounded bad last week.

Kirkland's 30 seconds of fame are over.
