Kirkland by KO, he will bring it.

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

Yes, this.

Kirkland's last quality win was in 2011.

See this fight for what it is...an aging, no-heart Cotto taking a tune-up against a shot, aging fighter with no chin.

We need to make Cotto vs Angulo. Im down for Kirklabd too. But good money to be made on PR vs Mex

[Shadoww702]

this will be the first pay per view fight that i have not bought in over 15 years.

Yeah! They better have an AWESOME undercard! And Wolfe better be kicking Kirkland's ass in training for me to even remotely entertain buying this??? And Roc Nation can't sale sht! So you know the hype and promotions are gonna SUK! Golden Boy had to do ALL the work on the Cotto/Canelo promotions. If they have 250K - 350K buys I'll be impressed!!!

Just like catch weights, Cotto stans going to flip-flop again.

Doubtful. I'll be first in line calling this a sht fight.

However, this article is missing a big question mark in the title. At no point did I read anything beyond "gloden boy/50 cent are looking to get Kirkland a Cotto fight".

A Kirkland fight just doesn't make any sense.
No title, no big money, no prestige, not even measuring stick to see how close to 147 he can get if there is in fact a plan to fight Marquez down the road.

Hell, even a Margarito fight would do better (still sht).

Doesn't matter what version of Kirkland enters or if he was even in his prime, Kirkland was never capable of fucking with Cotto, some of the comments here are ridiculous.

[Raonic]

Exciting fight if Wolfe was back.

If Kirkland won, I would like to see him face GGG or Lemiuex at 160. Those would be great barn burners.

[aboutfkntime]

Pretty funny since Cotto & Roach criticized Canelo for fighting Kirkland. Cotto's turning down a chance to fight Lara for a title to face a badly faded Kirkland or an over the hill little Marquez.

There is a saying for that.

It's called..... being the man, because you paid your dues.

Just like Golovkin.

No, wait.....

right after the fight, it was an interview for espndeportes right after the press conference, I heard it in a los golpes the Monday after the fight...
he said he wanted to give the fans more rounds, but kirklands was overwhelming him, he said he hits harder than the others and was throwing punches like crazy, that's why he had to go for the KO so early...

I dont know if Canelo actually said that, but if you think about the opponents Canelo had before Kirkland, saying Kirland is the hardest puncher he faced up to that point is not really a big deal.

Kirkland is washed he'd throw everything he has in the tank in the 1st 2rounds have no stamina to go to distance get KO'd by round 6.He kills himself to make weight 154lb is pushing it this late in his career. I rather see Cotto vs Lara
