    He wins by fighting his fight.

    Keep his punches thudding and maintain his movement and awkwardness. Even elite fighters like Canelo get frustrated in the ring.

    It is a 12 round fight. Take it round by round and don't panic or grow hestitant.

      Bivol isn't awkward. He is stiff and predictable pure boxer. Andrade is awkward.

        He can’t back up. Take the center of the ring and use his distance, reach, and speed to **** with Canelo. Make the middle of the ring a circle and pivot in both directions. No fighter is good enough right now to beat Canelo going backwards. Not even Mayweather went backwards and he’s the best of a generation with movement. Study the GGG, Jacobs, and Mayweather fights. If I see him back up in the first 6 rounds he’s going to lose 100%.

          Ask for random PED testing as often as possible. Only joking relax.

          Think he has to do what Tails said above.

            Andrade is very awkward and very predictable. Throws the same speed most of the time, leans to the right 75% of the time before, during, or after throwing, and doesn’t use his range and athletic abilities to be explosive. Love the guys potential but dude isn’t that good as a pro. You can tell he packs a punch and has superb talent…it’s gotten him this far. But he doesn’t have anything extra.

              Still more unpredictable than Bivol's 1-2s. Canelo will see his punches from miles. I think only an unorthodox fighter or pressure brawler can beat Canelo. Bivol is neither.

                Do what kovalev does, but with significantly quicker feet and so far no signs of gassing/fading badly in the second half.

                movement is still not easy for canelo to deal with.
                But movement + bad gastank (kovalev/bjs/plant) canelo has mastered since he knows how to work towards their breaking point and he makes sure to never expand more energy than his opponents.

                  He has do what the other ones have failed to do. Keep him off of him, Canelo starts cutting the distance and actually works to put the other fighter to the position that he wants. He can't allow that.

                  I think a more offensive fighter with power and chin will give him more problems than a boxer.

                  Chavez Sr used to cut all the boxers down except for Whitaker.

                    80% Stick and move. Choose opportunities to engage wisely.

                    I think this fight is close to 50/50 as to who actually prevails. Prevails on the cards, maybe 25/75.

                      The mire fact he has to do this and that vs a 5'7 fighter who couldn't stop Angulo and Chavez Jr while he could steamroll big men like Barrera and Joe Smith pretty sums up the nonsense of this fight. Just go cash the check already. Cards have been signed. .
