Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kirkland Deal Reached: Kirkland Ready For War

[KickAzz]

I'd heavily favor Canelo in this one, but the dude can't punch to save his life at 154. If he couldn't stop Shane or get a clean KO over Kermit The Dog, how's he gonna do it against Kirkland?

There finally putting this hype job in with a warm body...

kirkland got KOed by Ishida... so it's possible the ginger can do it too

Jesus Christ.

Kirkland has a better chin than Mosley now?

Canelo can't punch for shit despite KOing Baldomir?

You couldn't have crammed more ******ity into that post if you tried.

[Mr. Philadel]

Who can't respect a warrior like Kirkland?

This fight was originally cut off because Kirkland wasn't going to be ready in Sept due to the shoulder injury.

Kirkland then said f it; forget the arm, let's make it happen.

WAR Kirk!

no doubt...gotta love him!!!...lets get it!!!

..... i just can't get hyped for this fight right now. i know as the date approaches that will change, but under the circumstances that it was made. it's just "blah" to me.

Same here.

what do u mean.

It's because of Paul Williams' accident. I'm still feeling terrible about it too. I mean not only did he lose the ability to walk, but his career was cut short right before his most significant (and winnable) fight. All eyes (at least every Mexican and avid boxing fan, which is lot no matter how you count it! You're lying to yourself if you say you would have passed it up.) were on this fight.

I'm sure Paul Williams' boxing life was the only thing he could eat, breathe, think, and live for (I'm sure we as fans can only imagine, because we love boxing and we ain't even boxers!!!), and all of a sudden it was stripped away from him. Beyond sad. Definition of a tragedy. Wish him nothing but the best.

Because everyone knows Kirkland has been getting lucky in the last few fights. Against Angulo it seems that Angulo shot his wad early and the Molina fight he was getting schooled like a kindergartener before the bs DQ .

I don't know how Kirkland got lucky against Angulo. Angulo gassed because after the knock down, Kirkland made him miss a lot of his shots. Kirkland collected himself and did what a fighter is suppose to do. He overcame adversity and got his own stoppage. Something he didn't do when he was KO'd. Molina was crafty and got away with a lot of clinching. He started to fade and Kirkland knocked him down. It's not Kirkland's fault Molina got the DQ. Who is to say he wouldn't stop Molina the next round. I think Alverez would have a much better chance against Lara. The risk against a prepared Kirkland is much bigger than against Lara.

Kirk's getting a bout he doesn't deserve as Lara 's #1...if he doesn't get the red head in the 1st 3 he's gone b4 7...Wolf's claim she has invented all the training she does 4 him is stuff she's taken from many of the old, & far better trainers, but she can't give him stamina which'll always b a problem 4 him...

Canelo is going to whoop him.
