Canelo vs Kirkland done deal?

[HanzGruber]

When was the last time Kirkland fought? 2013?


"good win for Canelo doe"

Someone pointed that out the other day. Pin May it'll be 17 months since he last fought. I'm sure HBO isn't dumb enough to put it on ppv tho

Bardock will buy it

That's unfortunate since it'll flop. And as much as this has the potential to be a barnburner, it also has greater potential to end early and in either case, it'll be Kirkland's chinny self countingcountless

I like the fight, just not PPV. I don't think Canelo is at the level where all of his fights should be on ppv

So is the manny fight dead? If this is true I doubt hbo would have agreed to this date if they thought PAC and may was possible. Sure they could move this fight but it would be a lot of unnecessary work.

What weight will this fight be at? I'm not assuming it is at 154 since both struggle to make junior middleweight.

[Build That Wall]

If HBO gave him that date than Pac vs Floyd ain't happening

I'm assuming this fight will be on regular HBO so it will do over 1 million views easy

Floyd and SHO don't have anyone that can go up against that

Cinco De Mayo belongs to Canelo now

F**K Manny, F**K Floyd, F**K Cotto, F**K Canelo, F**K Khan. All these divas are a poison to the sport. Seriously. Once these guys are gone, Boxing can be normal at least. It's time for Wilder to take over as the Top Draw. We Finally Have A Heavyweight Champion We Can Call Our Own.

It is a pretty good fight, I don't see the rush to make it but w/e. Canelo would likely look great against a guy like Kirkland.

But the new divas will just replace them. The Leo Santa Cruz's and Peter Quillin's of the world.

Pugmire -- who first reported the networks were meeting last week -- contradicted himself quite a bit when Ben Thompson called him out on Twitter yesterday. A lot of what we've been told lately is just BS.

I'm thinking at least 155 in the contract.
