close fight. kirkland has been inactive for a while an thats why i have trouble picking him to win. back when kirkland was fighting regulary i would have picked him to win .
Canelo early stoppage. This isnt the Kirkland that got james this far... i expect that to be reflected in the fight with canelo stopping him in 2 or 3 rounds. If this was 2009 Kirkland with anne wolfe id be picking him by late stoppage. But its far from it.
