Why did Canelo keep aiming for his left arm instead of his head? can someone explain?

[Tails]

He wasn't gonna land if he aimed for Bivol's head. He either had to hit the body or somewhere else to weaken Bivol to get him to open up that guard he had.

If he just tried head shots he would probably get countered by Bivol. He has that lazy left hiok when he pulls back so he would likely catch Canelo reaching.

He was just trying to land something. The arm is better than nothing.

That arm needed to come down before he had access to the side of Bivol's head. He tried over and over and over again to get around that guard but Bivol wasn't gonna open that door. Bivol's defense was unwavering.

This is why he did it he was trying to break through the guard, if you fight somebody where you cannot land on the chin or the ribs you have no choice but to pound on arms, chest and thighs to try and create openings to vital spots, take away weapons and slow the leg movement.

Look carefully ... Bivol stellar technique covered everything most of the time... There was often nothing to hit but the arm... What you saw on Saturday was a Boxing Masterclass ... I'm still amazed at how good Bivol was ...

I was actually surprised how bad Canelo looked he gassed early and was running hot from all the water weight he had onboard, Bivol did an Ottke on an overweight much smaller fighter, for me if Bivol was next level he should have stopped Canelo being that far ahead in all areas.

If you look at the Kov and Plant fights if Canelo doesn't stop them he loses a UD, it was all about Canelo landing hard on Bivol and the skills with giving away a major size difference was too much he couldn't do it.
