An Inside Look at the Mythos of Canelo's Improvements

[War Room]

He is stopping 168lbers, while only throwing 25-35 punches per round. his efficiency is through the roof. his connect percentage stands at over 50 % each fight. His opponents connect percentage has gone down drastically due to his crazy defense. his entire stance has changed, he is now fighting leaning forward as opposed to fighting upright like he used to. He has changed from moving his head just in case someone throws to only moving once he detects movement (more efficient again). Due to his new efficiency he never runs out of steam. His punching power has increased big time, due to a different delivery of his power. Just look at his last fight, the double triple fake jab while he kind of jumping into his opponent to either throw the uppercut oder the straight tight or a hook. His feints have gotton more refined. While he was at one point early in his career stunned or even wobbled, due to the fact he is no longer dehydrated his chin is made out of iron, having taken the best shots guys like GGG and Jacobs had to dish out. He has become a pressure fighter that walkes people down, forces them to throw breaks them down to the body and finishs them to the head. Back in the day Canelo was a pure counterboxer very often on the backfoot. SO HOW THE FCK HAS HE NOT CHANGED AND IMRPOVED: ARE YOU BLIND?????ß

Effeciency? He's losing rounds waiting for a KO and he can do that because the judges are paid off, that's not an improvement, ARE YOU BLIND? Defense is exactly the same, you're high.

Feints, bro thats year one tech. He's not moving his head a lot, he does it very little.

Effeciency, like I can't believe you people. Throwing less punches is a skill now.

HIs % is up against bums, that's not a skill.

You people need to give me something here, these aren't improvements unless cherry picking is now an improvement?

TLDR

Looks at who posted it. I already know it's nonsense from a salty Canelo hater.

Keep fingering yourself to pictures of gimpboy Floyd you tool.

This is just by memory:

- his ability to cut off the ring and force his opponent to work harder to keep him off improved.

- there definitely is an improvement in power that coupled with his accuracy and timing doesnt allow his opponents to make as many mistakes.

- the way he throws punches never allowed him to be able to fight with a sustained workrate, had to take rounds off in previous fights. His energy management seems to have improved somewhat, but that could be due to his opponents not being able to force him to fight at an uncomfortable pace.

- that being said, the nature of moving up in weight makes his opponents being slower comparatively which benefits his counter punching style.

I don't think he cuts the ring off well at all. He wasn't doing it with Billy Joe well at all.

Meh... I think the term Mythos refers to the collection of underlying and interconnected beliefs that underlie the mythology of a culture or epoch usually stemming from an origin myth and including some kind of pantheon.. e.g the Graeco-Roman mythos, the Meso-American mythos or (fictionally) the Cthulhu Mythos.

The term the TS probably wanted to use is just 'myth'.

That ain't an agreement BTW - I do think Canelo has developed plenty with his top flight experience - but the breakdown offered by the TS is interesting and has given me some food for thought over the nature of his improvements. If I had to pick on a coupla things I'd say his ring composure and energy management have improved dramatically (although that may be partly weighing in much closer to his fighting weight) plus he's added a much more methodical pressure counterpunching game over the last few years - possibly since around the GGG fights, although as pointed out by the TS there were elemnts of it there before, it just wasn't quite as patient and calculated. Dudes become an impressive stalker now, cranking up the pressure until he forces the mistake - ironically not entirely unlike Golovkin himself used to do.

It’s just a hood rat trying to sound educated and looking like fool in the process lmao. You can take the....ah you know the saying lol

Canelo just isnt blessed with quick feet and doesnt really have an in your face, stick to you close pressure approach,
but he did move his feet in the proper way to not let BJS have a lot of rest which is draining.

Before he got hurt, BJS definitely felt the pace, he spend most of the round before he got hurt stepping into clinches to keep canelo from working.
