Yeah. Gets gassed easily in the middle of rounds when he throws combos.

That's how Floyd got him.


Floyd actually stayed on the outside and gave him a fukkin boxing lesson. When Canelo would close the distance, Floyd would clinch. Now where Canelo fukked up with that is when Floyd clicnhed, he should have been pounding the shyt out of his torso instead of tryna wrestle. Maidana and Castillo did that the best against Floyd the first time around.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Why do people think Canelo was tired :dahell: ? He didn't look tired at all to me. None of the tell-tale signs of fatigue. This shyt was a 3 round fight. It wasn't the Trout fight. He seemed like he was letting James punch because there wasn't anything on his punches and he was trying to catch him with a big counter while James was punching, which he did. Roy didn't think he was tired either.

I'm going to rewatch again, but I don't get the criticisms on his conditioning in THIS fight. He did exactly what he wanted to do.

breh, kirkland got the highest payday of his career for this fight ,1M i believe.

there's a reason why fif was the only one that wanted to sign him. dude has issues out the ring! when a motherfukkka fires his long time trainer(ann wolfe), who damn near brought him in as their own son, fed him, fukked him sheltered him and showed him how to box since he was a kid, then you clearly see what type of person they really are. he even tried to sue her and his old promoter goldenboy (oscar's promotion), when they got him out of fukking jail :snoop:

james was beefing with fif before they put this fight together over the money fif was getting (don't know the % fif was taking of that 1M)

he really had no choice, what he gonna do? turn a big fight like this and fight for peanuts, few ten thousand. son is in his 30's and he is, what we saw tonight, an aggressive southpaw pressure fighter with NO DEFENSE. he made his money tonight which is good, i think hbo will bring him back though.


but on the real, i felt some type of way how he got ko'd. shyt was kind of sad :mjcry:

:snoop:James

he was tired but he didn't look exhausted. he basically did what floyd did to pac when he let him get off. just chilled. let kirkland feel confident. then started picking him apart. shyt was great boxing.
