    He knew all along pac vs mayweather would be a boring fight, so he schedules his golden goose freckleboy to fight a complete punching bag with no chance exactly 1 week after the super fight. Canelo knocks out this tomato can like he's supposed to do and now canelo and GBP have "saved boxing". I'm not convinced.

    Kirkland's a tomato can? he has wins over Vera, Angulo and Molina.

    GBP put on Matthysse v Provodnikov and Canelo v Kirkland inside 3 weeks, they did good man.

    Canelo will be a non factor once he moves up to Middleweight.

    I like Canelo but Kirkland was brought in to make him look good. Kirkland has one of the worst chins in boxing and was a stylistic wet dream for Canelo.

    A genius wouldn't do drugs and cross dress only to lose most of his fighters because he fell asleep at the wheel.

    Kirkland was brought in because Canelo is cleaning out the Jr.MW division. That fight was supposed to have happened a couple years back after the Paul Williams fight fell through because of the motorcycle accident. Canelo fights anyone.

    Oscar has been through some rough times lately with GBP. However, you gotta give him credit for this event. Kirkland is a solid fighter and was completely overmatched here, but a lot of people still showed up to the fight and a lot of viewers tuned in on HBO. The fight between Canelo and Cotto could be huge.

    Yes and it was a much better fight back then because Canelo was way younger with less experience. I'm not mad at the fight but it really means nothing on the level of Angulo to be honest..

    Canelo sold out 40k seats in houston according to Oscar.

    The thing is Haymon is going to go after Canelo and can promise to make him a TBE level PPV star. Oscar/HBO are going to waste money grooming Canelo, only to have Haymon snatch him up when he is the legit #1 star in boxing.

    Genius who just lost almost all of his fighters and was shut out of the biggest PPV in the history of the sport.
