Kirkland is strong, yes in his prime, yes all of that good stuff but with the chin of a chandelier.

wouldn't be surprised if Kirkland test's positive and the fight gets called off

Yeah I agree, especially coming off that shoulder injury.

Kirkland's getting knocked out IMO, and I'm not even completely sold on Alvarez yet. Should be an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts though.

That's what they said about Angulo vs Kirkland as well.

Canelos gonna whoop his ass.
But still a nice matchup considering circumstances and way better than Canelo vs Trout.
Lara is too 'dangerous' and Cotto is for next Cinco de Mayo

I like Kirkland but Alvarez wins this....

Canelo is going to stop kirkland under 8. Williams was a more difficult opponent for Canelo.

I don't understand why everyone is saying Kirkland is getting KO'd. Kirkland is an all action-fight the whole round kind of fighter. Canelo is not a one punch KO guy. Kirkland will put a lot of pressure on Canelo throwing every punch with bad intentions. The question is can Alvarez stand up to this kind of a pressure. We already know he fights in spurts. Molina was an awkward guy who held constantly to disrupt Kirkland's momentum. Canelo is much more traditional and will be there to get hit. He won't even think of holding on even if he's hurt. I give Kirkland the edge in this one.

That should be a great fight!

Seems like a great match, Kirkland is no joke, it's gonna be a better fight than people think.
I hope people support this card, send a message that fans support these risky match ups, and that people will come out to see these kinds a fights, making it worth their risk. Get a trend going

I'm looking forward to it.
