    I would be a little brave and say Canelo by stoppage, but he doesn’t have the required workrate/ferocity to put Kirkland in that sort of trouble. He’ll likely box him to a UD. This is definitely his fight.

    Very, very dangerous fight for Canelo. I don't think he has a great chin, he doesn't have the best defence and because his workrate is low, and much lower than Kirkland's, I don't know what he can do to stop the onslaught. Maybe he will try to move a lot but it's not like Kirkland stands off his opponents and lets them do that.

    I really like Canelo and I hope he can win this fight but I'm not sure. The best chance he has is to stop Kirkland quickly. If he doesn't do that, I think it'll be a hard fight for him to win.

    Kirkland is a beast. I'm not sure if Canelo is good enough to tame that beast yet.

    Should be a great fight just as long as Kirkland makes it past the early rds which I wouldn''t bet on. Lara must be pissed lol.

    Hope Williams gets better it sucked to hear the news. He always fought his heart out everytime win or not.
