Canelo looked like willie pep

It was quite a sight. Alvarez showed some excellent defensive moves, he only forgot to counter Trout after that.

 

I think his stamina getting drained was a reason for that. But yeah, his defense was very impressive last night.

 

Resbaloso como Mantequilla.

Slick like butter.

Canelo was inspired by the slickness of el chacal.Too slick too brown

 

I have to re-watch the fight, what I remember is Canelo relying on his power with limited boxing ability. At times didnt know how to counter and was taking the occasional shot on the ropes. Ill re-watch it tho, sometimes initial impressions are off watching it live.

 

Calling Canelo slick after watching Rigo last week. No comparison. I saw a few good defensive moves by Canelo but slick? No way. Slick boxers counter after making their opponents miss or roll then counter. I didn't see one good counter from Canelo.

 

Fight didn't really had a high pace so I dont think he had stamina issues, if he did, it's worrying at his age. I just dont think Alvarez was looking to counter off the ropes, he tried to make Trout open up and try a different gameplan.

Saul should work on his counterpunching. He has the right fundamentals for that.

 

exactly. if he on top boosts a big his condition than we have a top p4p guy.

 

Cinnamon Butter Alvarez

His new nickname.

 

Don't insult the legendary Jose Napoles by handing out his nickname to Canelo Alvarez.

 

Mantequilla?

hehe

:yep

Saul Mantequilla Alvarez

Canelo's pretty slick when he wants to be, but I'd like to see him set shots up off of his slips and rolls more.
