Comments Thread For: Kirkland Signs For Cotto Fight - Catch-Weight of 153-Pounds

Why at a catch weight?

[Loque-san]

The catch-weight was unnecessary. The Canelo beating and the nearly 2-year layoff was more than enough.

And why in Texas?

Not surprised about catch-weight. Cotto even made Margarito go to a 153 catch-weight in the rematch.

to have an advantage,why else? ..the lower cotto can get Kirkland the better for cotto,,Kirkland is a big guy,puts weight on between fights,is inactive,so cotto takes advantage of that..

Wait... Not only is this fight a joke but it became even more of a joke now. Kirkland is fkin huge. Can he even make 154 comfortably? And now they trying to make him shed another pound.

What's next, Cotto is gonna tell him to tear an ACL? I seriously used to love Cotto but this dude has turned into a fkin joke.

Wtf?? Damn if you don't want to fight at the full light middleweight limit then move down to welterweight, I was rooting for Cotto but now I hope Kirkland send's him into retirement, last time he fought in a non catch weight was 2013 ffs

If it's on Dallas I will be in attendance.

Lame lame lame lame lame.

Seriously, a catch weight? It's really hard to be a fan of Miguel Cotto these days.
