Where were you guys before

Yep instead of 155 You do realize non-title fights are usually fought at +2-3 lbs. from the normal weight class, right? I mean, Broner-Porter is an example of this, except they are trying to dehydrate Porter. A 155 lb. weight limit doesn't hurt any 154 lb. fighter, in fact it makes it easier for them to make weight. However, I am not in favor of catchweights for the purpose of draining fighters in order to gain in advantage. Mayweather-Canelo is an instance of this, given that Mayweather was a champion at 154 leading up to the Canelo fight, and had not required Cotto or De La Hoya drain themselves below 154. Yet, he forced Canelo down to 152 for the purpose of gaining an advantage. This worked and Canelo was visibly weak during the weigh in and looked very small during the actual fight.

HBo wanted an exciting match. someone that came to fight. Kirkland is dangerous and has the punchers chance at any given moment. Hbo eill also match up GGG and canelo one day . Then when canelo wins the excuses will sprout.. triple g didnt fight anyone doe , triple g was untested doe bla bla bla Jesus man,we are saying that now,he is untested and he has not fought anyone. Damn Canelo had the chance of a life time and looked stupid against Floyd. Let his career play out and stop asking for empty praise

Where were all the guys calling kirkland a bum before the fight? Correct me if im wrong but i never seen one thread pre kirkland-canelo call kirkland a bum. Had it been floyd or cotto koed him lots of praise from these hypocrites, Since Canelo does it hes a bum... SMH It was expected. The bigger star you are the more haters you have. Canelo could beat GGG right now, and people would say he cherry picked an unproven opponent. He could KO Cotto and people will say he was too old. He could fight the Charlo brothers and they would say they were too green. He could fight Andrade and they would say the same exact thing. Doesn't matter what he does. There is an agenda out to get him.

probably not cause floyd would fight him at 152, just saying. Yep instead of 155

Kirkland is not a bum, he is a guy coming off a 17 month layoff that has become more like Gabe Rosado-a guy who gets paid to look great while losing-than he is a viable contender like he used to be. Maybe he gets back with Wolfe and resurrects himself. The win was spectacular, but Kirkland did what HBO expected him to do when the OK'd this match.

people are never happy with what canelo does, hes 24 and still learnin. He will eventually fight ggg. asi es compa. :sombrero:

Let me guess, you think it's some sort of conspiracy against him because he's Mexican? Get a grip vato. no i dont use the mayweather conspiracy and pull race card. you need to get a grip. im sure you never called kirkland a bum before this fight

Come on man lets not act like Kirkland is some elite fighter

tko'd by light punching ishida.... hasn't fought in almost 2 years. Really proud of that win aren't you? if it was cotto you would be

It was a good win for Canelo. Kirkland is a handful for any JRMW, sure he's kind of chinny, but the kid can bang and he's going to be in your face the whole fight. Canelo showed poise and stood in there and knocked him the fuk out.

People calling Kirkland a bum are trolls. You can't, however, dismiss the fact that he got KO'd by a guy with 27% KO ratio in 1 round. People should've seen that coming. And You can't dismiss the fact that Kirkland was the first fighter to stop Angulo. Angulo has a high KO%, yeah he couldn't stop Kirkland. People got upset because they saw fighters throw punches.

Had it been floyd or cotto koed him lots of praise from these hypocrites, Since Canelo does it hes a bum... SMH No Ann Wolfe, tbh Not even going to argue about the time off having an effect; when Ann is in his corner, he fights like Tarzan. When she's not in his corner, he fights like Jane. The moment it became clear that Kirkland was training without Wolfe, the opinions behind the fight turned rather quickly. If he'd fought a Kirkland that had Ann in his corner, and put on this same performance, Canelo would've gotten his props. he didn't.

I called him one. I'm also a Canelo fan.

Canelo did what he was supposed to do with a bum who hadn't fought in over a year. I will take nothing away from Canelo with his victory last week. I also refuse to overrate it as well. It was a decent resepctable win nothing more and nothing less. Respect and congrats to Canelo

I actually always called Kirkland a bum. Don't know how far back with checking posts that this sites lets you go but I was never a fan of or thought Kirkland anything close to being a good fighter.

I like Canelo but anyone could see this was a tune-up at best. Quite a few people, including myself, thought this would be a blowout and said so.

Canelo deserves credit....end of story. Guy is still young and beat a good fighter.

I can't wait until next week when I get to read about how the flowmoez are were Willie Monroe fans that expected the slick bruva to out slick GGG.
