i want him to smell my breath smell my attention if i haven't showered in three days i want him to smell the must fight fans welcome back and understand that i'm here for a dog fight when a fighter faces a humiliating defeat learning harsh lessons is a vital part of the rebuilding process it don't matter if i had jesus in my corner god had that plan some drift into obscurity and never recover while others returned stronger growing into the legends we have known throughout boxing history this in the view of mexican fans is the future he's getting ready to fight one of the most turbulent and violent forces in boxing competing against an unpredictable banger a troubled man born to fight on both sides of the ropes red boy by the watch out it was a night when destructive dominance was needed more than ever before houston we got a problem on may tonight because the beast is going to be loose welcome to a motive media presentation i say can you uh box he said no but i sure can't fight floyd there's no clear path for anybody to fight you next would you consider giving him a rematch based on his performance in early 2015 the imperious floyd mayweather jr still ruled the roost around 147 to 154 pounds and his personal issues have been well documented one can't deny the artistry on his chosen canvas the 20 by 20 foot theater of truth taking his fights with the meticulous privilege of an unrivaled superstar trailing in floyd's waif was a host of challengers and champions bitter everything because i know that he's not on my level the fans would love to see the fight and of course um i want to go out with a band to be honest i'm looking forward to destroying mr floyd money mayweather if you want it come get it if not we will move forward the mayor of the fight might be there for me therefore it just seems to me that male there's a freedom he might just having been comprehensively out hustled by mayweather nearly two years previous look at this saul canelo alvarez was on a road to rediscover his star power and canelo alvarez wants to come back and show the world what he is all about how exciting he is how good he is and how the world the future of boxing is all ahead of him two victories in 2014 started the rebuilding process first a confidence-building 10th round knockout of fellow mexican warrior alfredo el perro anguloranello followed by a split decision victory over the tricky arizolande laura he just wants to talk canelo alvarez that he did it better against austin trout tonight than what canelo did with trout and that he wants to fight him of course it was a fight that his team preferred to avoid but canelo stepped up to earn a close debatable verdict over the cuban canelo [Applause] canelo has a lot of trouble with guys that move a lot we've seen you move when you were with pedro diaz and other fights as well to beat canelo alvarez you feel that you have to move in the fight canelo's next opponent was expected to be the main man up at middleweight puerto rican powerhouse miguel cotto but with so much on the line agreeing terms would prove difficult whether you're mexican or puerto rican or it's just a great fight and uh but they kodo and gabby refused the offer when negotiations with kodo broke down a dangerous slugger entered the fray the mandingo warrior 31 years old with 32 wins 28 big knockouts and an appetite for excitement step forward james kirkland having risen through the ranks feasting on the usual prospect diet of journeymen and contenders kirkland's aim was to obliterate anyone in his past everybody gave me the tyson momentum and that name because my style was kind of like his firm after losing his unbeaten record to nobuhiro ishida in 2011 he gets caught on a quick counter right inside and goes down kirkland is a sitting duck for sheena's right hand there it is again joe cortez is stopping the fight kirkland had revitalized his career and put himself on course for canelo [Music] he was about six years old and he was there throwing rocks i said can you box he said no but i sure can't fight trained by former champion ann wolf kirkland had endured a troubled upbringing that led to constant violent brushes with the law and i went to james and i says look man you got too much of potential just to sit out and do nothing i said let's let's try let's try to try these issues would continue into his professional career and negatively impact his progression he was caught by the gun october 2010 he was released to a halfway house until january of this year devastated mistake i was on urge to get an award title shot blew it a lot of personal issues going on it's gonna it's gonna bring you down what am i gonna do i'm gonna just take my dream never a great fight action-packed your money's worth i mean it's these are the types of fights that uh that we wanna see no stranger to lengthy spells of inactivity an injured shoulder had pushed the canelo's scrap out of reach years before it eventually happened when they finally met kirkland had been out of practice for 17 months about four years ago you might have said wow is it still wow in your mind wow kirkland's people took this fight struggling himself with a troublesome ankle injury that had already killed off a potential battle against joshua claudi canelo regrouped rolled the dice and once again backed himself in a high-risk encounter so that's what i gotta worry about is completing my test and my task at hand he's never faced someone like canelo hybrids vice versa and a lot of us never faced someone as dangerous as james kirk just one week after floyd mayweather and manny pacquiao had finally battled to define a generation canelo was intent on cementing his position as the sport's third biggest draw [Music] i'm gonna be aggressive i'm gonna i'm gonna attack him i'm gonna be aggressive but i gotta do it and be smart so that's the key is i got to be smart but i will be aggressive [Music] while texas was always the preferred location canelo's then promoter oscar de la hoya toiled to nail down an exact venue and date before houston was secured especially have to thank saul canelo alvarez who wanted to come to houston kirkland who accepted and wanted this fight i know with determination sacrifice and true will that i can overcome everything houston we got a problem on may tonight because the beast is gonna be loose [Music] but this should be uh this should be a fight yeah this is this one right here what is james mindset something coming in this i mean james is a killer you got some of those same thing as [Music] white all mike while kirkland's new promoter 50 cent was expecting a fight of the year candidate his boxer was about to enter the ring without corner linchpin and wolf for the first time since 2011. there's been a lot of talk about him switching camps a lot of ignorance kind of floating around on the boxing internet and you keep asking about it and it's kind of frustrating that i don't want to get upset about it with all of the fitness and focus wolfe brought to the table her absence would be felt against such a rampant opponent my question is what made him special to watch coming up was this level of ferocity that you don't see from other guys when you come train with the punisher it ain't gonna be nothing else but we're gonna whoop some ass if it goes past four or five red boy brother watch out i don't wanna see him get beat a little red head and fight him for some of the best if he goes to them deep waters that's when james gets stronger i want to be on him so close it's going to feel like we're you know i want him to smell my breath smell my attention if i haven't showered in three days i want him to smell the must and understand that i'm here for a dog fight when he is right james kirkland is probably the most exciting fighter in boxing i know he's gonna move but the point is how long can you move the way i'm coming because when you find out that you can't run you won't do anything to try to stop the heat there is more pressure than ever on canelo alvarez and it was a little too smart for him too smartphone because kirkland just fights one way um i i think that canada wins this one despite being in kirkland's home state the houston arena was awash with the vibrant colors and sounds of mexico if you love action wake up cause more likely than not one of these two is about to go to sleep true to his word kirkland came out blazing aggressively placing canelo under pressure canelo's getting hit by kirkland and he's stuck in the corner immediately 50 cent's projection looked likely canelo had other ideas the mexican hero was quick to neutralize kirkland's hostility by exposing his limited boxing iq i've never seen kirkland trying to play road that tells you how hurt he must be slipping and sliding away from heavy bombs canelo dropped his foe with a right hand only guts and determination helped kirkland survive and canelo has gotten comfortable canelo can't miss with the straight right hand he's doing the same thing that pacquiao did last week he's still right in the wrong distance trading heavy leather through a rampant second session while relying on his superior durability canelo raked head and body to hurt kirkland and drop him again with a right uppercut in the third seconds later brave kirkland was finished off with a peach of an overhand right that caught him unawares and ended the mauling what a performance by canelo alvarez the most electrifying of canelo alvarez's career classy canelo had delivered box office boxing kirkland is a great fighter we knew he was going to come and throw punches you know at the beginning we were both a little exhausted but i knew what happened i knew we would win the fight as i say you know he's a crappy fighter you know he come with a lot of skill uh take nothing away from him he was just on his p's and q's after the 2015 shellacking kirkland slumped into obscurity as his priorities changed returning to the ring four years later despite rekindling his relationship with anne wolfe the magic was clearly gone uh jazz tips has caught kirkland a couple of times in late 2020 still attempting to rediscover his old form the texan was caught cold dropped three times and ruthlessly exposed in a single round and this fight could be done for me that was tough to see i mean when i turned pro this is the guy i was watching and literally fearful like i don't want to fight this guy and to see him now at this point someone's got to tell you like hey that's enough blessed with tremendous heart throughout his career kirkland's defensive vulnerabilities prevented him from reaching the very top a thrill-a-minute warrior who guaranteed entertainment james kirkland will be fondly remembered as one of the most exciting fighters of his time kirkland is an animal i think kirkland is the kind of guy he can go out there and just pardon my friend she can kill him i mean he brings that killer mentality on this occasion canelo was simply a different class i want to make history just in boxing and i'm sure i will lacad mata [Music] jack we're so sorry to hear of your friend's passing please accept our deepest condolences and the well wishes of everyone who tunes in to each motividia presentation [Music]

Canelo didnt ruin a career, just gave it perspective.

[u/SatishBBanger]

Kirkland ruined his own career outside the ring

[u/oledomemil]

Idk about incredible

[u/aafrias15]

I don’t think anyone would call James Kirkland’s career incredible. What was his biggest win? Angulo? Maybe beating the shit out of an undefeated Glen Tapia? He got blasted by Ishida in the first round 4 years before Canelo so people were already questioning his chin. And he didn’t train with Ann Wolfe for the Canelo fight.

[u/ggddddeerrr]

Lmao I hate this dudes titles. He’s got a good voice, but 90% of his content is clickbait shit

[u/[deleted]]

Kirkland got beat so hard he now sells at Costco.

[u/Bobo_Balde2]

The clickbait titles from this Youtuber is just outrageous and the stupid overly-dramatic voice

[u/SunovertheArun]

Canelo didn't ruin his career, he'd been considered a hype job since Ishida knocked him out. I remember people expecting Canelo to smack Kirkland about in a stay busy fight by the time Canelo got to him.

[u/dmckidd]

Nothing beats what John Cena did to Kirkland.
