Kirkland Shoulder Issue, Withdraws From Canelo Bout

BoxingScene.com has received confirmation from Cameron Dunkin, the manager of James Kikrland, that his boxer's shoulder is still bothering him and he won't be able to move forward with a scheduled fight with WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Kirkland's withdrawal comes less than 24 hours after a deal was finalized.
"He called me this morning and told me that he worked out last night and his shoulder felt funny, he felt a twitch. He is afraid that he won't be able to train properly [because he will be worried about injuring the shoulder]. He is sick about it," Dunkin told BoxingScene.com.
Alvarez (40-0-1, 29KOs) vs. Kirkland (31-1, 27KOs) was scheduled to headline a planned pay-per-view event called "Knockout Kings." A four city press tour was being put together.
Following his March ten round disqualification win over Carlos Molina, Kirkland underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair two tears in his right shoulder. It was initially believed that Kirkland would not be able to fight until the month of October. However, Kirkland received his final medical clearance on Wednesday by his treating physician. But, as Kirkland found out last night, the shoulder is not 100%.
This marks the second blow to the September date in less than a week. A deal was finalized last week for Canelo to face Paul "The Punisher" Williams. This past Sunday near Atlanta, Williams suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident. The tragic incident left Williams paralyzed from the waist down.

Apparently Kirkland injured enough to turn down close to $1M but would be OK enough if he got the $2.5M the new adviser is demanding. Crazy.

Richard Schaefer says he is told Kirkland is actually OK but he has a new adviser who said he should ask for $2.5M, so fight is up in air.

I'm amazed given all the big-time MMA and Boxing cards happen in Las Vegas (along with concerts) that they don't have a bigger and/or newer venue than MGM Grand Garden Arena.
