Next up could be Canelo-Cotto. Promoter Oscar De La Hoya said he’ll be looking very closely at the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale fight on June 6 in New York City.

Canelo pledged to fight in Texas once a year from now on.

Kirkland was taken to a local hospital as a precaution and didn’t attend the post-fight press conference.

Kirkland promoter 50 Cent: “I’m proud of him, he’s a true warrior and I’m going to get him back with Ann Wolfe.”

Joshua Clottey promoter Joe DeGuardia: “We definitely want to fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez…I believe Josh deserves this opportunity.” (Clottey won a decision on the undercard).

Official attendance was 31,588.
