I think Canelo showed good skill, but the constant missing of those right uppercuts, he wasn't missing by a lot, he was missing in a way you knew that he'd land eventually....but those punches are VERY dangerous to miss as it leaves you in a vulnerable position for a longer period of time and with Kirkland pressed in maybe too far for his own good he didn't see the openings or feel the openings but he could have landed left hooks at any point in time (head or body) when Alvarez missed.
I was disappointed in Kirkland's footwork, but he was relentless, he was letting his hands go....I just think he got carried away with himself either because of the early knockdown or he thought he was doing more damage on Canelo than he actually was.
Very fun fight to watch though
