Isn't Kirkland coming off some sort of surgery? I think it was his shoulder. Just seems a little too soon to be starting a training camp end of June, early July.

Yeah seems too soon..I hope Kirkland will come in at 100% for fight night.

Alpha & Omega

That stoppage in Kirklands last fight was a joke, he lost soundly. I think Canelo will give Kirkland a sound beating to be honest. Kirkland is a beast but he is open to be hit all night.

Jame's if he can survive early can give Canelo a tough fight.

This could turn into a classic.

i gotta give Canelo props for this fight

first off, i thought a Kirkland showdown would be a fight or two after the Williams fight, should he have kept winning

usually, when a fighter gets pulled from a card like that, promoters like to throw a softie compared to the original fighter, see Ortiz

last, i'm sure they ran it by Canelo and for him to say 'fock it, lets fight kirkland', that gets props from this fight fan
