He beat up a glass chinned bum who hadn't fought since 2013. What a beast.

even though kirkland sucks, he does have a lot of power, and i give canelo props for manning up and taking on kirkland head-to-head and not running away and potshotting. that's real heart and real guts. unlike floyd hit and run headlock mayweather.

we need more warriors in boxing, we need more heart. none of this hit and run poop that makes boxing such an unwatchable mediocre circus show.

What a performance. Just the **** in the arm boxing needed after last week.

Saves boxing from what? Last weekend we saw a fight that sold between five and six million PPVs. I doubt if Alvarez/Kirland attracted 1.5 million to watch it on HBO. Just how the hell does watching a B+ level fighter knock out a C+ level fighter save boxing?

Golovkin
Canelo

it was a fun fight but damn people getting way ahead of themselves on the hyperbole of the magnitude of this fight.

Canelo just beat a guy who is not even on the same level as Robert Guerrero or Pauli Malignaggi. GGG is fighting a guy next weekend who is the same level of talent that Mayweather and Pacquaio sparred with while they were training to fight each other.

If these guys and these types of fights are the future of boxing, then boxing has no future.

i think more credit should go to kirkland for being a punching bag that was willing to get knocked out in spectacular style
