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.

[Evil Abed]

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 '**** it, lets fight kirkland', that gets props from this fight fan
