    Kirkland was the slowest he's ever been last night, and seemed to have no energy. The fight was delayed originally due to Morales' surgery, is it possible that he overtrained? We all know Ann Wolfe's methods are brutal, it seems to me it's likely he left it all in the gym.

    People cannot argue with what we saw; I said to my friend he looks like he’s over trained. I was hoping somebody would bring it up to see what everybody else thinks.

    I don't buy the dehydrated story. He had a whole day to re hydrate so that's no excuse!!

    Yeah, that was his biggest problem. No way should be be gaining 20 lbs overnight like that.

    Kirkland is a very flawed fighter which was his main problem. If he had overtrained he would NOT have come on nearly as strong as he did in the later rounds especially the 10th, where Molina stopped fighting and did nothing but hold.

    He usually has way more venom in his punches.
