Kirkland always gets stronger as rounds progress, so past the halfway point, well, we'll see what we see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Re: Canelo Alvarez and James Kirkland on upcoming clash Am really looking forward to this, though any Kirkland fight is a much watch. I think Canelo will get a late stoppage. He'll stay out of trouble early and capitalise on Kirklands poor defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, guaranteed to be a mighty rough fight as he's a right handful for anyone near his weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Re: Canelo Alvarez and James Kirkland on upcoming clash It's gonna be (hopefully) a cracker of a fight, with plenty of exchanges and both guys getting hit and rocked. Who wins will depend on who manages to impose his own style on who. If Kirkland manages to bully Canelo, he wins. If Canelo manages to make him miss and if he concentrates on counterpunching and counter-attacking rather than initiating the action, then he can win.
