Comments Thread For: Canelo Training, Waits For Solid Date on Kirkland

[Fists_of_Fury]

Should be a rather easy win for Canelo , is it going to happen at "super jr middleweight" (155) or at 160?.

If it's at the full 160 limit it's a decent way to test the waters before fighting for belts ( hopefully GGG's, i'd love that fight ).

Canelo seems to have developed his own weight class... the fight will more than likely be at his preferred weight class of 155lbs. I don't think this fight will be all that easy but come to think of it Kirkland has been inactive for a while now and is confused as to what trainer he's going to use.

Canelo better train really hard or hes gonna get the beating of his life time.

If Canelo manage to stop Kirkland hes gonna break out into a bigger star.

I see a fire fight with James 'the Mandingo Warrior' Kirkland..

James hasn't fought since Dec 2013. There's a reason why he was chosen.

Agreed. I think canelo is going to really shine in this fight.

I wonder if he is happy with odh right now?

Is Canelo going to be at his special weight?

So hard to like this dude. Special weights, favorable decisions. FFS

This is the third time they've offered him the fight so I doubt it was strictly due to his inactivity. He turned down a fight for last December, they also offered him the chance to fight a tuneup before the fight which he didn't take.

That's cool.


But why does Carbelo refute he is in fact a MW? Golovkin WOOPed his ass in sparring? Do Chepo and Eddie want to keep him away?
