Comments Thread For: Canelo Vows Not To Get Desperate Against Mayweather

[ADP02]

It's true that he shouldn't fight desperate but I hope that he doesn't mean that he will be sticking to his low work-rate because that can affect the judges decision making and give the close rounds to Floyd.

Depending on how you looked at it, Guerrero never really fought desperate yet still lost the fight easily. So the answer is more than just not fighting desperate. Guerrero didn't have the natural talent to effectively execute his game plan.

[itsafight]

Canelo's a smart guy.

[Carpe Diem]

The only way Canelo can win is if he can punish Floyd with body punches against the ropes as he did against Lopez and there's a good chance he might be able to do just that if Roger is back as Floyd's main trainer.

Mayweather is fighting the best available opposition,

Cough! bull****! Cough!

moving on...

Guerrero did nothing, he telegraphed single shots all night,

he couldn't hit Cherrypicker cause Cherrypicker was on his bike

when he was in the inside he did not thought combinations,

yeah, cause Cherrypicker was holding his arm tighter than a ******'s pus.sy

it was one of the worst fights ever.

It takes 2 my friend... it takes 2

I hope Canelo @ least put a show,

Doubt it... it will be pretty boring too, cause cherrypicker will have the ginger puzzled and he'll get potshotted easily

but Mayweather will give him a teaching of movement and distance control.

translation: Cherrypicker is going to run

After this, Mayweather should take Pacman and finish him too "peeleft:

We don't even know if Pac chin will hold up against Rios

[bojangles1987]

Alvarez won't have a choice but to be desperate when he's down 8 rounds to 2 going into the 11th. Which unless his power is enough to bother Mayweather with every decent shot, will happen.

Floyd makes you tired from missing and if you throw repeatedly and he does not engage, you tire. The only way to beat him is by ko or tko.Mosley nearly ko'd him. The straight right will hit canelo all night if he rushes in though, and I don't believe Canelo has the stamina for non stop aggresion. Only other style that beats Floyd is like a Roy Jones Jr, some would say Chavez Jr or Duran, but if Floyd stays on his toes counterpunching you lose. Or canelo needs a few knockdowns and for Floyd to grow old overnight.

Canelo aint gona do shit to Floyd, nothing, none. Canelo was lucky to get a gift decision vs Trout in wich he fought at Trouts pace. The only guys to get Floyd to swtch his pace where Ricky Hatton because he had amazingly quick feet, and Cotto becaus Cotto is great cutting the ring and his brilliant jab, Canelo poses none of those atributes!

This will be like Martinez vs Chavez jr. Floyd 12-0

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Mayweather constant movement will make things extremely hard for Canelo! If Mayweather did not bring his father back and Mayweather kept fighting like he did against Cotto then I would give Canelo a "CHANCE" but with Floyd Sr. back in Mayweather Corner and him going back to his great Defense and using his Legs More it is going to be extremely hard for Canelo just to land clean especially with his Power Shots and to keep up while Mayweather will be able to Pot Shot and Counter Canelo and pretty much get off what ever he wants and be gone by the time Canelo is able to fire back

He stamina better be at its best if he is going to be "PATIENT", but do underestimate Mayweather aggressiveness as if he is not going to throw and punches and just move around, Mayweather will Put Shot the **** out of you if all your doing is trying to talk him down with your Guard Up and waiting for him to make a mistake so you can catch him

"I’m going to train very hard and become used to his style. Floyd is a very fast boxer, very smart who knows how to counter, but he’s not a fighter who punches a lot."

Lol the ginger doesn't even understand that he himself is not a fighter who punches a lot. the ginger won't be able to outwork Cherrypicker, and he won't be able to out-think Cherrypicker. the ginger is gonna be like Bambi staring at headlights.

Post a quote of another previous Mayweather opponent who said anything like that. Canelo is actually spot on in this assessment..

Anyone who has watched Cherrypicker can assess that!!! That's why casual fans think he's so boring.

Whether or not he can capitalize on his findings is another matter entirely.

its pretty safe to say that he won't be able to capitalize

I believe in order to beat Floyd you pretty much have to be obsessed with watching film and studying everything he does and from watching 24/7's n All Access

it's not going to help. the only people ring I.Q.s able to meet him on equal terms is guys like hopkins and rjj. Ghost tried to think with him and lost badly

I haven't seen any of Floyd's opponents studying film nearly as much as they should. Usually they pretty much leave that up to their trainer..

won't help if you don't know what to look for. it's obvious that the ginger doesn't throw a lot of punches. you could've seen that from cherrypicker's punch stats. when watching tape, you gotta look for habits and tells.

The stamina issue thing has been overblown IMO. In the Trout fight Canelo knew he was comfortably ahead and coasted in the final rounds.. He didn't look fatigued at all after the fight.

LOLs you got some ginger glasses on... the ginger was noticeable gassed and had to resort to throwing one punch at a time once in a while. The ginger was so gassed he sat on the ropes and let Trout tee off... the ginger's arms probably felt like lead, but lucky for the ginger, he still had some upper-body movement.

And if he knows their is an issue with stamina I think Canelo's is a bright enough kid to already know he has to fix it before facing Floyd, he doesn't need the experts on ESB to post it here for him.

yep, that's why he tried to get them Memo power pellets.

Do I think he'll win.. Probably not, cause like I said he lacks the speed and he's very flat footed,

you also forgot that his stamina is worst than Cotto's, his punch output is not spectacular and his combination punching suffers from poor stamina and he's still green.

but so far he has the right mentality. He can't think "Ohhh even if I lose I'll get a huge payday and gain some experience" EFF NO!..

he young doe, so he actually thinks he has a chance... but once he gets in the ring, he'll be like a little boy lost at the zoo

He has to be confident and work hard starting like yesterday to be in the best position he can be in both physically and especially mentally in order to go in and WIN this fight.

he needs them Memo power pellets and iguana meat

Punching air and then getting tagged with clean sharp counters would frustrate anyone. There is a difference between touching skin and touching AIR. Punching air is alot more tiring than punching any body part.
