It was a pitiful showing from Kirkland, meanwhile HBO was riding both fighters trying to suggest it was something meaningful. Kirkland hadn't fought in a couple of years and on getting knocked down, got up and did the same thing again and again. 'Oh, but look at the will, look at the will!' was all HBO could say. Please, pull the other one! HBO has almost become boxing's version of CNN. Tell the truth! He fought a predictable and stupid fight. Instead, it's constant marketing. Canelo is HBO's Royal baby. Ginger, fleecing the public, manipulating emotions and his own network tugging the strings.
