Kirkland is a harder puncher than Canelo one of the hardest punchers at 154 if not THE hardest his chin is pure glass, though thats why Kirkland's fights are always interesting either he ices the other guy of gets stopped himself I don't think Kirkland punches any harder than Canelo. Kirkland is a pressure fighter. He usually wears his opponent down from constant volume. This will be a fun fight.

Wtf It Canelo couldn't knock cotto out how the hell is Kirkland going to do it. He'll need a baseball bat at a minimum Styles make fights. Alvarez is a Puncher so he's comfortable fighting on the outside wich is where Cotto chose to fight. Kirkland is a Brawler who simply tries to turn the fight into a toe to toe Brawl. Kirkland is going to get right in Cotto's face and attack him from the opening bell.

This is a dumb fight. I don't know what Cotto gains by winning this. It's almost like he just wanna get paid again. I never have a problem with a fighter wanting to be paid for his full-time (or even part-time) job, but Cotto has been a diva for years. So yeah, it's only about the money at this point.

Cotto will know how to position himself to avoid Kirkland's powershots while landing his own. The only thing i could see giving Cotto some problems is Kirkland's fast pace but at the same time it could backfire for him making this fight an early stoppage in Cotto's favor. There's no way Kirkland wins this. I don't know how people can still doubt an elite fighter like Cotto at this point.

Kirkland is gonna take Cotto out the frame. He looks like he has his head on straight. Ann Wolfe will have him in rare form.

Cotto is one of my favorite fighters and I'm a Big Kirkland fan too, but until I see training footage of them, showing je they are going hard, It will be tough to get excited for this.

I honestly just clicked on the thread to see if they got the tumbleweeds rolling by posing as fans.. If you order this fight you should just write a check for every penny you have to charity for kids because you're too dumb to understand the value of a dollar Amen. I hope HBO puts on a good 1 minute highlight package after the fight.

I can see Kirkland winning, Cotto is clearly the favorite tho but Kirkland can punch. Those ticket prices look great, might drive down to texas and watch it live
