What can both Alvarez and Mayweather take from the others previous bout...

that losings to Floyd inevitable

 

Guerrero got schooled boxing and it wasn't due to the fact he couldn't box, just that Mayweather is on another level.

Considering Guerrero is a better boxer than Alvarez, I can't see Canelo winning a round against Floyd.

Not sure what to take out of Canelo Vs Trout other than Austin being a bit stiff.
Alvarez will have to set up his straight right against Floyd and he will find that hard - because he won't want to jab once Floyd starts catching him with straight rights of his own.

 

Its very intreaguing. I honestly think Alvarez will fight exactly like he did against trout. He will take plent of time off, looking for counter opportunities, and when he does throw, he'll throw with force.

It will make it very interesting because Alvarez has the power to rock floyd and force a porential stoppage!

Also, Alvarez defence was very good against Trout, what % connection rate to people expect from Floyd in this one.

I expect it to look more like the de lahoya fight, where alvarez blocks/avoids a huge portion of floyds shots, with just 1 or 2 eye catching ones landing per rounnd.

And what i like about alvarez vs trout is how, alvarez would throw hard shots aiming for Trouts Chest, as trout very slippery, he never aimed for the head, and he had huge success.

I see either a close UD either side in this one, or if anyone gets a stoppage, it will have to be canelo.

 

I've got to say i can't agree with this one bit.

Did you watch alvarez vs trout.

 

Ghost is a very good natural pure boxer. People forget that after the Berto brawl

 

That Mayweather still has amazing footwork. That's it really.

 

Guerrero was able to counter Mayweather because of what Mayweather did. Floyd was throwing those fall in straight right hands popular against southpaws. When you reach you run the risk of being countered.

Floyd adjusted and neutralized the counter once he figured out the angles for his exit after throwing these fall in right hands. He also switched it up and began using different types of rights. Guerrero no longer had the distance to counter, or he was unable to anticipate, defend, and counter.

Alvarez isn't capable of countering with combos when he's fighting Mayweather. Marquez is a better counterpuncher and the best combination puncher yet couldn't do it.

 

He'll gas even faster than usual if he's missing combos. So much energy will be spent to catch himself and maintaining his balance.

 

Alvarez should use the DLH and Cotto fights

Both jabbed their way in but kept defense in mind DLH picked off a lot of punches with his gloves

Canelo should jab and move in the center of the ring looking to pick his battles and not spend too much time in front of Floyd

Floyd at 154 vs the bigger guys has a tendency to lay on the ropes, he did vs Cotto a lot and for some moments vs Oscar where Oscar would do these body flurries on the ropes

Floyd never goes into the corner and always gives himself an escape route so Canelo has to be mindful that Floyd doesnt come off the ropes and have Canelo trapped in the corner, Floyd does this a lot

Compared to Cotto and DLH Canelo may not have a better jab but he hooks to the liver well and has a better right hand than both those fighters and faster hands and better punch variety

Canelo should take his time vary his shots feint and go to the head and body

the problem I see is like DLH and Cotto who were pretty much worn out by round 9 is that Canelo will probably fight to a close score until about round 8 or 9 when Floyds conditioning and experience take effect

 

excellent point. What's overlooked is how Oscar's skills at picking off shots made Floyd get creative about setting up his offense.

Floyd will have an easier time landing on Gasnelo as long as he keeps his jab working and goes to the body, which he has greater incentive to given Alvarez **** stamina
