James Kirkland may not be training under Ann Wolfe any more, but that doesn't mean that Wolfe was taking any joy in watching her former protege take a beating at the hands of Canelo Alvarez.
On Saturday night, James Kirkland and Canelo Alvarez put on a show. Or, to be more precise, Canelo Alvarez painted a picture of violence and James Kirkland was his canvas. The fight had its competitive moments, its back and forth action, but really Canelo set the tone early and then just waited for the perfect moment to finish the thing, clubbing Kirkland with a gorgeous overhand right for one of the prettiest KO's you'll see all year.
