Why on earth does anyone think Kirkland has a chance vs Sergio?

I've been driving the kirkland bandwagon for many years, but I don't know who's saying he could beat martinez. First off, he just got out of prison. He has a ways to go before he even gets back to where he was prior to getting locked up. Second, he has many flaws defensively he needs to fix, which I actually do think his new trainer will help improve him on.
So this fight is way premature. As of now, obviously martinez beats him. In a year or year and half's time, maybe Kirkland is the man. We'll see how he progresses.

the trick to beating Serg imo is to outwork him...but NOT from a distance. Martinez can counter there and run.
if you can push him around at close range and throw a lot of strong, short shots that are difficult to counter while maintaining a smart defense, then you could beat Martinez.
I dont know if Kirkland has the discipline to use that strategy however. he leaves himself too open nowadays, and that is a bad sign against Serg.

I don't understand the thought process of some people.

Fighters who put intense pressure on Martinez can give him trouble, it wouldn't allow him to get the distance that he likes to work at and forces him to move more than he would want to and work more than he would want to. That's why I think a guy like Kirkland would give him trouble, Kirkland's trouble is that he gets so caught up on offense that he doesn't think about defense which would most likely end up with him running into something he doesn't see coming. But still, I think he would give Martinez problems.
