Comments Thread For: LIVE STREAM: Canelo vs. Kirkland - Houston Weighin

If HBO allows fight to go on and Gomez loses, will Soto really get credit for the win? I know Freddie Roach will have an excuse ready to tell the media if that happens.

Bhop is crushin hard on that chick.

That's what I'm saying bro Canelo will never be special at 160 and he's too big for 154.

I'd be rather impossible to be great in as division a weak as middleweight.

This right here:



Which is also exactly where Kirkland will be, over 170. Just like Trout and Angulo were. Lara weighed in over 170 his last fight. Dude's a bully though.

I don't understand the criticism. His opponents have been just as big if not bigger.

Canelo can def make 157 for a super fight against a certain puerto rican pugilist

I missed it....

Canelo is a fool for staying at 155... him and Kirkland are both completely starched making that weight. Cotto is going to drain the **** at him to make 155 (if they fight) no one to blame but Canelo for staying there.

They don't listen to facts, I hate the catch weights too, but both Trout and Angulo were heavier than him fight night, and Lara wasn't much smaller than him. Kirkland is one big light middleweight himself. Canelo is no bully.

I hope HBO will provide some footage of guys like Diaz and Leija jr.

And hopefully some people take some time tomorrow time to check out a prospect who actually looks serious about the sport, Jose Carlos Ramirez, because he looks like a boxer with a future.

At this point, Gomez does not.

I don't think the other fighters were disadvantaged by the CW. I agree it's pretty lame, but they're also were non-title fights. I expect Kirkland will rehydrate more than Canelo. They'll both be at least 170 or higher.
