Comments Thread For: Kirkland Explains Decision Not To Use Wolfe For Canelo

[feroth]

James "Sweat Pea" Kirkland is gonna pitch a shutout against Canelo. Rumours in camp are none of his sparring partners have even laid a hand on him, they're calling him the black casper, the holy ghost, "no time" kirkland cuz he don't even need to hit you to beat you. One of his sparring partners actually saw a doctor and is convinced he's either legally blind or being lied to about sparring Kirkland cuz he's never seen or hit him once during the entire camp.

Seriously I find it pretty disrespectful for Kirkland to call the trainer that brought him here a "good strength and conditioning coach"...you wanna be "honest" about what other people are yet u can't be honest to urself about what you are? there's no new wrinkles to be added to ur game ur **** is ironed out and wrinkle proof. You're a come forward, power puncher and u overwhelm guys and ur big ass head would be a hard object to miss even if u were possessed by Willie Pep's spirit

Kirkland needs the intensity of the training that Wolfe was providing. He needed subtle changes on his defense for such an offensive fighter.

If he takes too long to warm out Canelo will stop him on a barrage of punches.

It doesnt matter. Unless he can take Canelo's punch, he wont win. He's too damn slow with no defense.

I wouldn't want Ann Wolfe mad at me.

Worst decision of your life. If there's one fight you need Ann for it's this one.

Another hand picked opponent for Canelo. I give him credit for fighting Lara and Trout but he went backwards by picking Kirkland. Understandable since he didn't look to hot vs Lara and Trout. They need a KO to impress and there is where Kirklan comes in.

Well Kirkland is not Kirk without Wolfe, so this fight is officially ruled as a cherry pick.

[Tay Roc]

Kirkland made the right decision. This is best for him and his career.

Hard to give Kirkland any chance. He only had one fight since 2012 and hasn't fought in 2014 or 2015.

It's not just the skill set. It's the mentality she imbued upon Kirkland. It was literally kill or be killed when they were together. Kirk was a machine, a cyborg, a robot, a viking and a scary movie villain all rolled into one.
