Comments Thread For: Canelo Taking Kirkland, and His Punch, Very Seriously

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) has a lot of respect for the power and dangerous nature of James Kirkland (32-1, 28KOs). The two will fight at a max weight of 155-pounds on May 9th from the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. Over 20,000 tickets have already been sold for the HBO televised bout.

Kirkland has been inactive since a December 2013 knockout of previously undefeated Glen Tapia and Canelo has been out of the ring since a July decision win over Erislandy Lara.

Canelo has never been down in his career, right? Anybody know if he's ever been seriously hurt (like stumbling around hurt) in his career?

[Mike D]

Nevermind. Just saw the clip where he was hurt against Jose Cotto.
