Naw..... This isn't "Police Academy", where they couldn't leave well enough alone and nauseated us with about 8 sequels. Enough is enough.
Kirkland may be back as well.... 'cause unfortunately he probably doesn't have enough people close to him brave and stern enough to "take away the keys". He's totally shot, as he demonstrated against Canelo. I like boxing.... but I don't think I would've liked the old Christians vs. Lions matches back in those days.
Quillen is probably the least damaged of the three. He just needs a major attitude adjustment, 'cause physically there's nothing wrong with him.
What's wild about Kirkland's loss is he left Ann Wolfe because he thought the new team would give him the skills (thinking fighter) when in fact he looked more wreckless than ever.
But here is the kicker,: Have you read Ann's comment on his loss? She stated the problem in her opinion was: you don't put a fighter like Kirkland in with Canelo without having fought in over a year.
Seems Ann may have an unorthodox training regime-But had she been allowed to train him---she wouldn't have taken the Canelo fight without a top ten fighter to prep him
Even more reason to think he will never be the fighter he could have been.
From inactivity due to prison, leaving Ann, turning down fights-his window has come and gone.
At best he can become a journeyman like Edison Miranda.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
