Canelo Alvarez's Boxing Style, Evolution & Tricks | Full Breakdown Analysis

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

Def top 3 of fighter's this decade. His ability to stay focused for so long is an ability not many fighter's have. Gr8 documentary 🙏

[@curlyfryactual]

Probably because of his defensive skills, less debilitating punches to the head equals more focus maybe? 😅

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

@curlyfryactual as a former fighter I def agree. By the age of 26 my head couldn't take the shots anymore. I was told I had a hard head and to take a punch so I could dish out havoc. Those were horrible trainers but looking back my reaction time was very slow so that was the only way I could win. You live in Canada by chance??? I'm now a trainer and I've learned so much more.

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

@curlyfryactual I think they used me up cause I was always sparring pro's. Mind you I was a crusier weight and these guys were pros that weighed much less. But they were Champs and i was a kid. My head will never be right but that's OK. This is what it took for me to be a man and not be bullied anymore. I thank God for every punch that made me the man I am 2day.

[@pawnpusher782]

Please inform your self. You look like a total moron

[@apache7074]

@Bo Bo … People can disagree, that includes Bivol and Mayweather, but his receipts at the the gate and others of us have our own opinion.. Canelo is the best of this era that’s why he sits at the top of the heap!! There’s nothing wrong with having a few losses on your résumé, all the greats (Duran, Hagler, Robinson, Ali) have lost at one time or another…It’s the guys with the 0 that are suspect to me becuz, no fighter is perfect especially when your opponent is a UFC fighter 🤔 WTF does that?

@@elijahebbert6884 Nery popped 2017 and went to Reynoso gym 2019 nice try though and Valdez was for phentermine which is on the banned list because it kills hunger but it's not on the ped list but nice try 😉 still a bad thing to do though. As for clenbuterol Erik Morales, Francisco Vargas, canelo 7 other boxers and 10+ Mexican soccer players popped for traces of clenbuterol so WADA had to investigate and turns out reports of Mexico injecting it's cattle with clenbuterol was true and that would explain 20+ Mexican athletes having traces of clen so WADA raised the legal limit by a fraction for all countries since China was also having this problem with it's athletes. it was actually a bigger issue than little canelo Álvarez but the boxing community is so dumb combined y'all have an IQ of 50 so you never researched any of this 😂

[@BoxingLife]

Thanks Zico! 👊 Without a doubt!

[@jcrewzak9409]

Great video. Canelo is an exciting elite boxer. A one all-time great.

[@Danielkozina]

I try to replicate his style of Mexican Boxing, by being a pressure fighter who loves to counter punch, constantly cutting off the ring while walkig down my opponent, bringing my rear foot forward with a tight high gaurd followed by my lead foot. The high gaurd traps as well are purely top level, the high gaurd jab mix up and the high gaurd distance deception constantly baits shots which sets me up for counters, I condition my opponent with certain punches to see how they react then switching it up with feints to draw out the expected reaction to then throw big power punches, putting my entire bodyweight into it. The feints and set up constantly keep the opponent thinking and the mix of different looks with different stances always keeps my opponent wondering. My head and forearm control when up close is used to prevent counters after throwing a combination, overall this style is class and with more sparring experience with this I'll be able to develop it even more.

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

@BoxingLife I agree, this fight is well worth a second look as to why he lost.

A great breakdown as usual. He really used the arm punching against Bivol, it wasn´t enough though. Canelo´s main advantage is that he is a very complete fighter. Some fighters are very good in certain areas and try to exploit them. Canelo is proficient in most and that can give him the edge facing lots of different styles.

[@peterparsons7141]

Excellent analysis and film footage. Really nice work putting this vid. Together. One of the best boxers ever. You touched on the point that make some masters at their craft, whatever it it. Canelo said when he learned something new, I would think about it all the way home, I would think about constantly, while I’m sleeping. If you ever meet someone who is a master at something they will have this trait. The ability to perform the task well, a love of refinement and perfection of the task, a drive to constantly improve. When this all comes together they say the person is gifted and may become a master. What I saw watching all Canelo’s fights from the start,, was that he was always improving. Each fight was better than the last one. Canelo is a master and boxing fans a lucky to live in a time when we can enjoy excellent camera work an coverage and discussion like this about his mastery of the game.

[@Jetpegyr]

This decade just started, and there were such fighters as Pacman, Floyd, Fury and others in the previous one. What decade you are talking about?

[@phoraonesinatra]

Great breakdown 👍 love Canelo's boxing style. His style has always reminded me of a mix between African American style & Mexican style. His defense & reflexes are elite as well as his offense & pressure.

[@la-do-ra-ch6810]

I know what you mean but there's no such thing as African-American style. Matter of fact most black American boxers don't even have that style. Not Tyson, Foreman, Holyfield, SRL SRR, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Aaron Pryor, Meldrick Taylor, Porter, Spence, Norris, Hagler the list goes on and on and on and on....

[@phoraonesinatra]

@@la-do-ra-ch6810 I think what you or me may deem "African American style" is subjective. From my years of watching Boxing there's certain attributes that make up what I perceive as African American style & I think Canelo has a lot of those qualities in his game. Defensively responsible & elusive being some of the main qualities. I'm not saying you're wrong but when I think of Tyson I don't think "African American style" I think of fighters like Floyd, Sweet pea, Ward, etc. I respect your opinion & perspective though 👍

[@TheBoxingLaboratory]

There's no such thing as a Mexican or African style, every boxer is unique. These are just stereotypes made up to sell fights.

[@la-do-ra-ch6810]

@@phoraonesinatra Yes but you also understand that most Black American fighters aren't like that, right? The term a lot of people use to describe that style is a "slick defensive fighter". But the reality is that most aren't like that. The only country that comes to mind where you can say 90% of boxers have that style is probably CUBA. But the US is not that. People just like to use labels to create groups and identities but that's never been the reality in US.

my boxing coach is always telling me to square my shoulders with my opponent, feet almost pointing forward and it never made any sense to me.. but watching canelo fight I kinda get what he wants

[@Phantoman7]

No style is perfect. No boxer is perfect. But Canelo has proven that he is great, and that his boxing style is top notch. Like any style, it is best epitomized by a boxer who combines his natural attributes into said style. Or more accurately, crafts a style that is based on his unique attributes. Examples of this would be Ali (long moving style to match his frame and disposition), Marciano (crouching with power/pressure and supreme conditioning), Tyson (explosive power designed to slip past punches coming at him-AKA-Peekaboo), Mayweather (deftness and speed behind high shoulder), and of course Canelo here who has fast-twitch explosive muscles and a defensive style designed to allow for those explosions to land on target.

So a king can’t loose all time greats lost during their primes and came back stronger canelo included after his lose to mayweather he came back better plus canelo needed a little humbling let’s be honest your ego definitely inflates after you stop or dominate your way to undisputed his plan was becoming to predictable he didn’t even have a backup plan for bivol

[@TeutobergForestryService]

So accurate. I was a pretty big canelo fan until he went on that run through billy joe, Caleb, and calum. He got way too arrogant.I started following Bivol before their fight and I declared at that time, you can check my post history on YT, that Bivol will be too much for canelo. Bivol does the little things PERFECTLY. His defensive/offensive footwork rhythm was something canelo had 0 answers for except to punch Bivol in his deltoids. I’m nobody and I could see the writing on the wall way before they fought but canelos crown made him blind.
