THE OFFICIAL CANELO VS KIRKLAND THREAD: MAY 9TH

[Black Gatsby]

People getting gassed off a kayo of Kirkland smh

GGG buries him in a shootout, punch selection and placement is by far superior to Kirkland's.

at all the floyd posts in this thread...this is canelo vs kirkland...i hope i don't see any of that in the GGG fight next week

For Canelo, the huge money fights are obviously with Golovkin and Cotto, but before he jumps in with either, is finishing off Pacquiao a plausible option, or will they keep Pacman away from that to ensure it gives Floyd a potential money rematch at 50-0?

I honestly think there's money to be made with Pacman still, and a knockout is likely to make him look all the more impressive. Is he just too big to make that happen now?

 

[Mook]

Maybe I'm spoiled by Mayweather fights but there was truly ZERO defense this fight.

literally none.

Canelo had hella defense

Nice??

That was Holyfield vs. Cooper type uppercut. Sat Kirk right on his keister.

THis nikka said keister in a sentence

Well, I'm pretty sure Pac has to stay out for a year now just to save face. But if that was Canelo in the ring with Manny last week I don't think Alvarez would've came out victorious. I can't imagine it happening now, Pacquiao can't afford to take that chance.

them kos were hilarious

It's not that easy though. And James was one of his best guys.

i hear you but he needs to get rid of him,the dude has basic boxing skills

and if he wasnt slow " in the brain" then, he surely is now

dude ate punches

Canelo needs to focus on Cotto, take that title and keep developing before he faces Golovkin. At 24 he's still a kid, if the fight is going to be at 160 don't think it's in his best interests to pursue it straight away

And Pacquiao ain't facing Canelo after last night

that may not be his decision to make because it is looking like he's draining to get down now

that K.O.. helps Mayweather's legacy

i agree 10000%... Mayweather makes future HOF'ers look like regular joes when they step in the ring. Its really a thing of beauty for real BOXING fans.

 

[L. Deezy]

After the fight, rap star Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Kirkland's promoter, said that situation will change again.


"I'm very proud of him. He fought like a true warrior, but I'm sending him back to Ann Wolfe," Jackson said.
