Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto-James Kirkland in Play For June 18 at Barclays

[JJRod]

Big guy with a weak chin. If Cotto survives the initial onslaught (which is a considerable "if"), he'll pick Kirkland apart.

Nevertheless, I don't understand why Cotto wants this fight. Even if he wins impressively...so what?

I don't think he has a weak chin.
Sure he was KO'd by Ishida, but like I've said many times on here, that was a fluke. Kirkland had recently been released from jail, he was fighting his 3rd fight in the span of 1 month, wasn't fully in shape for those fights, he was caught cold by a straight shot and never fully recovered. And it wasn't as if he was KTFO, he got up, it was Joe Cortes who decided to stop it.

His other KO loss came at the hands of Nelo, who packs a punch.

Other than that, the guy took heavy punches from Angulo, survived and came back to KO him. He also took every punch from Joel Julio and came back to KO him. So I don't buy the he has a weak chin thing.

I smell a barn burner with this fight. Make it happen.

If kirkland trains with wolfe ima put my money on him.

If he is back with Ann Wolfe maybe I can take him seriously.

kirkland has a puncher's chance. maybe if he is back with wolf. still, criticizes GGG for his opposition and fights kirkland? funny

NO

NO

NO

NO

NO

Kirkland is shot. Training with Wolfe can't change that. Kirkland is not a serious fighter. He's still eating off that Tapia win.

Damn good fight!!!!!!!!!!!warrr Cotto!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightfall]

Canelo needs to step in here and stop his two kids from fighting.

He's to busy stepping out of the way of little G

[Death_Adder]

Cotto is ass. He needs to be fighting Lara, not this shot fighter.

[PETUFF]

Cotto beat Canelo he was robed!!!

[lopez36]

when he fought canelo kirkland was trash, now all of a sudden its a pretty good fight,, and ill laugh if he goes back with wolfe and read how now all of a sudden its a graeat fight,,all those who said he was trash i hope they still keep saying the same

[SergioMartinez]

Never been sold on Kirkland, pointless fight.
With or without Ann Wolfe.

[chepboxingking]

Ann Wolfe or not, kirkland chin remains glassy. He'll make it a good fight with Anne but it's only a matter of time until kirkland gets KO'd.
