Yeah, but we know there is no chance in hell of that happening. Kirkland vs Lara has the potential of being like Angulo vs Lara, but on steroids.
Kirkland is always on auto pilot:bbb SEEK AND DESTROY:bbb GGG is smarter inside the ring, and okay outside as well, but can he withstand the bombs that James will unleash early on in the fight:think James will make it a great brawl and GGG will be tested but I don't see James going past 5 rds. He always looks out of gas by Rd 4. Will be a fight of the ringmaster VS the Beast:shock: :smoke
being a successful gambler on sports is knowing if a line is good or bad and not knowing that is a sign of being clueless. james has a better chance than lara at beating canelo because judges wont be a factor in the fight. http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-kirkland-ko-6-tapia/ 644 punches, of which 572 where power punches, in five and a half rounds broke jmw compubox records with 73 power punches landed in round four
This is fine but we've got to consider the quality of opposition. Canelo has superior counter punching ability and power to the fighters Kirkland has faced so far in his career. I can't see past a Canelo W if this happens. Kirkland stands straight up and pulls back with his hands down when he retreats. There's going to be so many opportunities for Canelo to hurt him given JK's come forward style.
Kirkland would really have to find a way to survive the first round. Kirkland has a cold chin and it needs to warm up. As the fight progressed I am sure it would be entertaining. Kirkland has the stamina and will to go after GGG throughout. I just don't think James has the defense or mind to cover up. Def would like to see it.
canelo has faced four legit 154 that came to fight and all of them made it into the 12th round. kirkland has an 85 percent ko ratio and has kod lyell(went distance with chavez), vera(arguably beat chavez), julio(never been kod before), angulo(never been down or kod before) and knocked down molina(only man to even knock down carlos) with a torn right shoulder that required immediate surgery. if canelo has not hurt james by the sixth round your canelo ticket at -400 will be valued at +200 in live betting becasue the oddsmakers know that kirkland wil go for the ko and that the judges will not be a factor alvarez is not fighting lara, james or rosado because he is inferior in many facets of the game. the 5'7" canelo will get bullied and pushed around by the six foot rosado, outworked and outskilled by the superior lara and possibly KTFO cold by the killer Kirkland gbp wants nothing to do with any of these guys because oscar knows what he has in canelo and its not much i would be surprised if he goes down in the mexican history boooks as a more revered fighter than yory boy campas
I agree Canelo vs Kirkland at 154 is a much much better fight.. for Kirkland. But GBP will never feed their up and coming cash cow to the meat grinder like that. GGG has the footwork and positioning skills to make it favorable, can punch just as often and hits harder. So it would be very one sided. Versus Canelo.. Kirkland comes forward swinging his fists... and drainelo gets turned into sausage. It would look something like like a zombie getting fed to a wood chipper with boxing gloves.
You nasty dick rider, jump off Gennadyi's dick. Treble G should fight middleweights, not LMWs who has no chin whatsoever. I like James Kirkland, I think he could potentially cause a lot of hurt to some 154lbs'ers, but he should stay way clear from Gennadyi, he'd get knocked out in the first round. If you truly think this is an acceptable fight, then **** you, it's nearly as bad as Golovkin vs. Osmanu Adama or whatever his name is.
