      Canelo by stoppage, Kirkland is inactive and always seems to have problems outside the ring. To go along with that he has a style that is tailor-made for Canelo to look good against.

            James has been too inactive for my taste. If Canelo jumps on him early it might be over. Canelo will have problems after round 8 if Kirkland is still around

                  Canelo needs to finish him quickly or he's gonna be in trouble. Kirkland doesn't throw pitty pat punches like angulo did vs canelo.

                    Kirkland starts off terrible he was in big trouble within a minute vs Angulo, wiped out by ishida and was hurt by tapia as well. Canelo needs to start fast and put him away before he gets going.
