    That's the first thing I thought. Next thing you know, he'll be popped for PED's. :patsch

    Awesome. Hopefully his shoulder will be 100%. Would suck for a delay and/or cancellation in a couple of months.

    Good fight.

    James will be a very live Underdog... He has a good chance to win by KO! IMO..

    Im guessing he got a offer he couldn't refuse and they are still shaky on the shoulder

    Hmmm. I'd like to see how Canelo deals with Kirk's workrate. Kirkland's punch resistance is questionable, but he does recuperate quickly. I wonder what will happen if Alvarez can't get him out of there early.

    If Kirkland can survive the first 4 rounds he will ko Alvarez, his chin is only dodgy at the beginning of fights

    Hope it happens. It would certainly make for an exciting matchup and a big step in determining on who is the top dog at LMW. And winner fights Cotto

    IF Canelo doesn't get him out of there in 3 rounds, this fight has FOTY all over it! Kirkland is the weakest in the first 2 rounds, after he warms up......:happy
