Don't try and stop up from getting our hands on the #CottoCowards

May the best man win breh.

I wish Kirkland had Anne in his corner, but we'll see. They both naturally have the style to beat each other though.

I want Cotto destroyed too and we all know how bad Cotto looks against hard hitting pressure fighters and southpaws.

Basically, THE RING/WBC Middleweight Championship, a guaranteed PPV main event spot, and a high payday is in the briefcase hanging over the ring for this bout, including a contract to put hands on Cotto inside it

I have a feeling that May 9th is gonna be a better fight than May 2nd because both of these 2 are warriors

Only the live gon survive

Good luck Kirk

If Canelo doesn't catch Kirkland early then this fight gets very interesting. Kirkland gets stronger as the fight goes on & turns the pressure up. And we all know about Canelo's stamina issues

 

[Mook]

crazy how we aint talking about this fight. This shyt really gonna be FOTY. Gotta end in a Knockout.

prolly because of the fact kirk hasnt fought since 2013 and ann is not training him..so theres too much of an unknown factor for competitiveness
