    Kirkland by UD or late TKO. Good fight in between.

    kirklands chin is bad in the beginning of fights. once he get warmed up his chin all of a sudden is unbreakable IMO i bet alot of ppl tend to disagree. this fight can go either way but molina isnt no joke u kno hes coming to fight . im pickin kirkland but it isnt a no brainer. kirkland is one of my favs so i wanna see him pull it off

    this may be true.. but I see Kirkland as a Killer Who wont be discoraged,, Ward flips the game on opposition... Can Molina do that without getting his block knocked off in a pressurized situation that
    Kirklad presents...?

    It won't surprise me if Molina can hold his pressure and work him on the inside all night long. I like Kirkland so whoever wins the fight I'm ok. In fact I'm very happy that Molina finally get his chance and as he said he was surprised that finally someone came to ask him for a fight in Kirkland

    This kinda how I feel. I like both fighters, although I was rooting for Angulo, I had to take my hat off and give Kirkland his props. I'm glad to see Molina getting his shot as well. So like you said Leonit, whoever wins the fight I'm ok. I think this fight is going to be a treat for all true fans of the sport.:thumbsup

    I think its a good fight but Molina would pick him of and take a UD or late stoppage

    Canelo however would knock him out fairly early, he wouldnt tire as easily as Angulo did

    Molina should have got the win against Lara, Molina won that fight. This fight is a 50/50 and it should be a good one, these are the good fights for the fight fans 2 fighters that want to fight and no hype.

    Hows Molina chin? Its not like he won't get hit.. and Kirkland won't just be head hunting..He will work the body too.. once Kirkland Diesel Engine gets warm Molina would have to box beautifully to keep Kirkland from scoring.. Kirkland is comming forward 95% of the fight..

    Question 1
    Can Molina, Block, Move, be slick and not get hit (of course he going to get hit ) but not take as much damage to win.


    Canelo is a Offensive boxing machine.. I don't know about him stopping Kirkland ( I think thats Bias talking) I mean Canelo has some stoppages by Ref help but when was the last time he knocked a foe out that was B+ or higher with or without ref help ( don't worry I will wait) Canelo and Kirkland would be a War.

    Just like the ANgulo fight.. difference is im not sure what Canelo is made of cause he is so protected.. (Nice flashy offence)

    Question
    but can he play D and make Kirkland Pay without paying himself too>?

    We have seen Kirkland down a few times.. Even when he got stopped he got back up, this is more of a test for Canelo..

    No one at 154's chin is good enough to continue taking hits from Kirkland, no one. I can see Molina outboxing Kirkland and beating him in a boring but highly technical dismantling. I can also see Kirkland using educated pressure to get in range and systematically physically break Molina down.

    Should be an excellent fight 50/50.

    What are your thoughts on Kirklands chin? Is it as bad as some make it out to be, or was that Ishida fight more of "getting caught on a bad day"?

    Yeah this fight is 50/50.

    the way Ann Wolfe puts Kirkland thru hell improves his chin a lil bit.. some more defensive technique training woulf help..

    I look at it like this.. once Kirkland is warm he is going to be hard to knockout..

    Catch him cold and he will fall

    Kirkland def has some chin issues as shown in the Ishida and Angulo fight but His Heart is huge and that training keeps him upright for the time being.. hopefully he gets better as time goes on.. like younger Klits Brother who fixed his chin after early let downs..

    At least Kirklands arent as bad as his....

    I think it might be close for a couple of rounds but once Kirkland gets in his zone and puts the pressure on he wont back down. I have him via stoppage or a pretty wide UD.

    your usally pretty fair and un bias so.. I can belive this prediction..

    But I have seen Kirkland in person before prison.. I saw him run thur Julio so if he can ge back to that level then I can see him beating Molina...
