How should a Canelo KO of Kirkland be viewed?

[walrus]

Despite the knockdown in the first I think Kirk did get to Canelo, obviously not to a great degree but he got him. Kirkland was also sucking for air early on despite the HBO crew going on about his great conditioning. Canelo May have missed with a lot of those upper cuts but he does have a good one. Kirks corner was pleading with him to keep his hands up and not doing so played apart in his early demise. The KO was coming but he pretty much gave it away. You never know what Kirk is going to show up to a fight but if you look at his stats he doesn't win without Wolfe, not saying he would have won this with her but perhaps he would have had the extra motivation he appears to respond well to. His records impressive for someone who has spent five years in jail (I think that's correct) I hope he didn't go completely off the rails when he can't box anymore but I fear he may be one of those guys, a lot of wars, a lot of cerebral damage.
