Boxing Discussion

The "holding!" thing has been pretty bizarre. How many clinches were there throughout the fight? Not enough to jump out at me, that's for sure. These people just do not watch boxing.

It's a bizarre complaint. The fight itself was pretty light on clinching, and certainly no more than average, even in the initial rounds. In the last half of the fight, clinching was hardly present.

What a fucking uppercut, didn't end it with it, but that looked crazy in the replay.

I hope Kirkland is ok, Canelo looked worried about him.
 
Canelo rocked him. Entertaining while it lasted.

Kirkland's defense is nonexistent and everyone knew he'd come out throwing like crazy. Unfortunately for him, Canelo can brawl while also keeping his wits about him. He knew exactly when to counter Kirkland's wide-open haymakers.

I like Cotto, been a while since I watched him fight, I would root for him, but I like Canelo too, I was impressed tonight, Kirkland was landing some strong hits.

Kirkland showed no defense and came out like a bull which was expected. I'm surprised he was still landing some good punches in the second after getting rocked. But yeah, here's hoping we get Canelo/Cotton later in the year.
