Kirkland vs Alvarez

[punchoutsb]

i think the only reason people say he is overrated, is because he has been made to live up to the next Mexican hype better then Oscar de la hoya. he is a good boxer in his own right

Honestly, I think he will end up bigger than people are even thinking now. He's young, and has already been in with the absolute best. Even though he clearly lost to Floyd, it'll forever be a MD loss to the p4p number one. He's building an awesome legacy and he's no where near 30 year.

It was supposed to be a wide UD. One incompetent or corrupt judge can't change the fact that he was humiliated by a smaller out of prime boxer.

He lost to the p4p best at 23 years old. Thanks for proving my last sentence.

Fight coming up.

[Evander]

The physical numbers are almost the same apart from age.
On the night weights are unavailable.

[Evander]

Here comes James Kirkland.

[punchoutsb]

I never get tired of seeing the Kirkland/Ishida replay.

[Evander]

Here comes Saul.

[Evander]

James looking fired up Canelo calm as usual.

[Baby Face Finster]

Someone is getting KTFO!

[Evander]

Here we go.

[punchoutsb]

Man Kirkland starts fast.

[punchoutsb]

Saul is finding range quickly though. This may be a short night.

[Evander]

For 2 minutes Kirkland pinned Canelo in corner,
For the last minute it was all Alvarez.
Kirkland was knocked down and on rubber legs throughout the last minute,

10-8 Canelo

[Evander]

Round 2

Canelo has the power.
Not looking good for James.
Bottom line is both have power but Canelo can take it and Kirkland can't.

2-0 Canelo

[punchoutsb]

Kirkland looks beat in the corner. Canelo should stop him soon, every decent shot he lands stiffens his legs.

BUT, Kirkland's power is still very apparent. Saul's gotta be careful or he's going to catch a big one.

[sucracristo]

this is a million times better than mw-pac
like a rocky movie

[punchoutsb]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! That was BRUTAL!

[Evander]

Round 3

Kirkland down again.
And again ... Clean knockout Canelo wins.

[Evander]

James Kirkland still on canvas obviously for precautionary reasons.

Good win for Canelo.

[Evander]

Massive right hand did the job for Saul.

[Baby Face Finster]

Canelo-Triple G would be epic. Triple G by slaughter.

[Evander]

James is up and looks bemused but he should be ok.

[Boxing Prospect]

That was fun whilst it lasted!

[punchoutsb]

Canelo-Triple G would be epic. Triple G by slaughter.

Canelo has some BIG and exciting fights on the horizon. GGG, Cotto, maybe Pac or Floyd II.

[Baby Face Finster]

Those 3 rounds were better than the 12 rounds of shit we had last week.

[Evander]

Interview with Canelo.

He's thankful to his fans.
Says both of them were tired prolly due to intensity although he didn't looked too tired.
Is he interested in Cotto or GGG ?
He pretty much said he's open to anyone.

Interview with Kirkland.

Thanks god.
Says he kept his left down and got caught with a shot, not making excuses.
What could he not overcome with Canelo ?
Didn't really give us a clear answer.
