James Kirkland vs Canelo Alvarez Discussion

[bojangles1987]

I see that canelo still has stamina issues

I wouldn't say that because of this fight. Alvarez didn't want to punch himself out like other Kirkland opponents have, and he knew Kirkland was too beat up already to really hurt him, so he took a breather.

Kirkland never recovered after Canelo hurt him the first time. His feet are never great but they were all over the place after that. There were times when he had Canelo on the ropes and instead of adopting a wide stance and getting some leverage on his shots, he just stood with his feet together poking Canelo with arm punches.

Canelo's great to watch in that sort of a fight. When he has an available target his work is so clean and fluid. Hope the pressure builds for a GGG fight now. I think we'll get it. Canelo believes in himself and doesn't give a fuck about his opponent's reputation.

Miguel Cotto reps are here for #CaneloKirkland to check things out. They have signed term sheet for Cotto-Canelo this fall if both win.

Canelo's combinations are very well thrown, James was the perfect style to look good against as expected.

Massive contrast in hand speed to foot speed it's crazy.
