Keys to victory for Canelo Alvarez

#1. Smart yet constant pressure. In a lot of Alvarez' fights, he's been selective with his pressure, and that's a strategy that will play right into Mayweather's hands. To beat Mayweather, the pressure has to be constant, but also smart. Don't waste a lot of energy, and don't be a standard target. Use lots of head movement and frequently move to Mayweather's left to limit his looks and his arsenal. #2. Come behind the Jab. If Delahoya proved anything against Mayweather, it's that the jab has the ability to open him up and limit his opportunities to counterpunch. Keep the chin down and come behind a consistent jab to set up combinations. #3. Work the body. Mayweather's shoulder roll defense can make him a very difficult target, but the right hook to the body is there for the taking all night. Work the hook to the body every time Mayweather is pinned in a corner and stick with it all night, something none of Mayweather's previous opponent's have had the patience to continue doing.
