James Kirkland injured, Cotto fight cancelled.

Roc Nation Sports today revealed that James Kirkland 32-2 (28 Ko's) has suffered a broken nose while in preparation for his bout against five time champion Miguel Cotto 40-5 (33 Ko's) which has forced him to pull out of the February 25th HBO main event which was scheduled to take place at the Ford Centre at the Star in Frisco Texas..
Because of the news the whole show has been cancelled.
It's unfortunate news for both fighters, who's last appearance was incidentally against the same opponent, Saul Alvarez in 2015, Kirkland was stopped in the 3rd while Cotto lost a 12 round unanimous decision.
