Alvarez, a true sportsman!

[I.R.I.E]

After he Ko' Kirkland he went to go check on him. I rarely see that. I thought it was a real sportsman like gesture and if anything he looked worried, thinking Kirkland could be seriously hurt ( as many of us thought ).

He was also asked about prior weekends (boring) fight and he mentioned that he doesn't compare himself to other fighters and he only focuses on him, that's real imo..

Well it was ***in brutal lol. Not like these guys actually hate each other

[The Gambler1981]

That is pretty true, it is always weird seeing a dude get starched then the other guy starts dancing and acting a fool.

I can't fault a guy much because it would obviously be exciting and the crowd would be into, but it does always seem messed up because that guy can be seriously injured.

Not that going over there or dancing really changes anything but it certainly does give a different feel.

Yeah that was great sportsmanship by Ginger.

Alvarez is good boy.

Haha very nice.

[POOPGOSPLAT]

Yeah, I gained a lot more respect for the Irishman.

And Canelo after the fight asked Kirkland in English "Are you okay?" and gave him a hug.

You can tell he respected Kirkland, he gave everything when most people would have tried to survive after the first rounds' onslaught. Reminds me of Tyson when he said he really respected Peter McNeeley for coming out guns blazing even when he had no shot at wining.

I noticed that too. It was a class move.
