Former WBC and WBA super welterweight champion Canelo Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) battles with James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-1, 28 KOs) tonight in the main event.
“Kirkland is a strong puncher so I have been sparring with southpaws to be prepared for May 9,” Canelo said at a recent media workout. “I am strong too and I will also look to fight intelligently on Saturday.” said Canelo.
“I know that I come with excitement, with what fight fans want to see,” Kirkland said. “Knowing that my fans and supporters that are spending their hard earned money to come to this fight motivates me. I work just as hard as them when they are out there pushing that clock to make the money to come see the fight.” Kirland added.
