What if Kirkland wins "or" looks impressive in a loss?

[Buckfever]

Kirkland is a wild card. I don't expect it but once in a blue moon his best version could just show up.

People are uderselling Kirand here because of his little fluke loss against that one tall Asian dude. Canelo should win, but his power is certainly overrated and if Kirkland makes it into rds 3,4,5 then Canelo is in for something brutal IMO.

wouldn't call it a fluke.He got destroyed in 1 round.Hbo didn't even have a translator ready for the japanese guy.

Kirkland is very muscular and slow, very powerful too, I doubt he looks impressive in a loss. He will make Canelo look similar to the Canelo vs Angulo. Canelo will look very fast and agile, and will seem like one of the best boxers right now, but it's just that Kirkland is so slow and limited that Canelo will look great. He is very, very good, as good as Lara and Trout or any current top fighter in the sport excluding Mayweather, but Kirkland will make him look great.

I always thought Kirkland was good. The second you start fighting Kirklands fight, things get bad quick. He's extremely good at applying pressure, and has power in both hands.

His stoppage against Angulo proved it to me, no one had even hurt ANgulo the way he did, and AFTER suffering a KD.

great determination and will, all he needs is to sharpen up a bit.

Going to be a great fight.

I think Kirkland has been lucky in his last high profile fights. Angulo gassed himself, Molina got a ****** DQ from a fight he was winning, and Tapia had horrible conditioning but showed he had the superior skill set. I see Canelo giving another Angulo type beatdown with the ref eventually having to step in to save Kirkland from himself.

Kirkland should look atleast decent....Not like Canelo is a big puncher, or have great boxing skills......

Unless Canelo catches him cold I think he will pose him an issue or two.

But I still expect a Canelo KO.
