Kirkland is going to get knocked out by Alvarez. Ishida knocked out Kirkland in the first round. Ishida went 12 hard rounds with Paul Williams who could not hurt him. Golovkin knocked Ishida out of the ring and out cold in the 3rd round!!!
I think Kirkland would lose reguardless, Ann seems to connect with Kirkland in terms of motivating him, but she does not seem like much of a strategist. I've always been of the belief that Kirkland, would have been better off with a different trainer, unfortunately he should have made this move years ago, and certainly not this close to the biggest fight of his career.
I never thought much of her in terms of her being a trainer but Kirkland would lose with ten of Ann Wolfe in the corner. He is tailor made for Alvarez. Offensive fighter with zero defensive capabilities.
It's not Oscar's fault that Kirkland doesn't take his career seriously. He has given James a great opportunity. He needs to take advantage of it.
Not true, the Kirkland that fought Tapia would have knocked Canelo out. This fight is bought and paid for, Thanks to Oscar and GBP.
Kirkland is a Glass Jawed fighter. Wolfe wasn't going to be able to fix that. He has been inactive for what 2 years now? He is going to get dominated and knocked out and him having Wolfe would not change that.
I like Canelo, young, well-rounded fighter with above average power.....but saying he's above Bradley right now is kind of crazy. Canelo's best actual wins: Angulo, Lopez, old Mosley Bradley's best actual wins: JMM, Provodnokov, Alexander or Peterson Right now it's not close...Bradley and Froch clearly > Canelo But Canelo could go on to have bigger wins than either fighter has...just not the case at moment
I thought Kirkland would have trouble early regardless since he is a slow starter but now id be surprised if it went 6
Bull****. In the Tapia fight Kirkland was getting tagged left and right untill Tapia gassed out. There is no way in hell that he would have beaten Canelo on that night.
