Comments Thread For: Team Canelo Eye James Kirkland Clash For December

[Jloro]

A great fight. Props to canelo with one of the toughest names in a row lately

[_original_]

Canelo's on a roll; Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, Lara and now possibly Kirkland in December + Cotto next year.

Kirkland gets folded.

He doesn't take a shot very well and he'll be way out of his depth in the skill department.

Why do you have to put "IF" in your bets? IF Kirkland shows up with Ann Wolf or IF Canelod does not finish him early?
What IF Canelo starts singing in the shower?
What IF Anne Wolfe starts barking?
What IF Kirkland is over weight?
What IF De La Hoya goes back to rehab?
What IF Floyd fights Wladimir?
What IF the sky turns red?
What IF HBO buys Showtime?
What IF Pacman becomes President?
What IF humans could fly?

Stop with the IF's! Jeeeez! Both fighters will prepare and the best man will win and that will be Canelo. Simple as that.

Riiiiiight !!

Mandingo is one Hard SOB with deep tanks, with the ability to take punishment and dish it out. And his Stamina is insane.

Canleo could easily get his ass handed to him in a major way in this fight..
Mandingo set a fast pace from start to finish and Canelo has **** for stamina!

This could go very sideways for Canelo .

this right here... dude man with the "if"s all over his page, seems like hes a canelo fight. "may the best man win, and that will be canelo". No analysis on his post, just a biased opinion.

Will this be at Canelos special weight or 154? We shall see.

154? Or 155?

[LouIE G]

I say earlier than that. Kirkland usually gets into his mode like rounds 3 or 4. Canelo needs to finish him early, if not hes gonna lose... unless he gets another gift from the judges. Thats my only problem with canelo, gift gift gift. Ridiculous score card gifts even in the mayweather fight. A draw???? thats laughable.

Do you think the lara fight was a gift?

He's only been stopped once in what was a freak occurrence that didn't make any sense, so it's a bit unfair to say he doesn't take a shot very well. If anything, excluding the Ishidia fight, I'd say the guy can take a hell of a shot given he has poor defense and always comes forward. Canelo's power is a bit exaggerated as well, not saying he can't stop Kirkland but it's not an absolute given. Also, Kirkland is bringing an 85% KO ratio and the guy's conditioning and frantic pace could be a nightmare scenario for Alvarez in the later rounds when he typically gasses. So all these ingredients make for a very exciting and intriguing fight IMO.
