    Canelo's game plan was all wrong.

    Who tries to outjab and outsmart Mayweather? Canelo started in the 8 round to press hard Maweather, and the last two rounds Money didnt even try to win those because he was HURT. If Canelo begins to put really pressure in mayweather in round 3, he could have knocked him out, but he tried to outbox May and now he looks dumb.

    no, canelo is a boxer puncher and that's who he's always been. If he fights aggresive, which is not his style of boxing, he would've been punished even worse.

        Canelo isn't a pressure fighter. His gameplan wouldn't of made a difference. He was completely out of his depth.

          Come on, he weighted in 15 pounds more, WAR is the WORD. Frustrating loss for Canelo, and his chance to really get big.

            I agree and it doesn't matter if Canelo is a boxer puncher, you don't try to outbox the grandmaster of hitting and not getting hit. You have to make it rough and physical from the start, pressure him.

                Yes Canelo might not be a pressure fighter, but if he wants to be adaptable, and a all rounder he needed to make the 10lbs or so count.

                Canelo might have underated boxing ability but tonight was not the night to really show that off. You are up against Floyd who you wont outbox, cos Floyd doesn't try entertaining a crowd.

                  Floyd gave Canelo a half dozen different looks. He squared up, put the shoulder forward, sometimes he countered sometimes he pressed. Led with the jab, then led with the straight. Canelo couldn't adjust, he was correct to try and jab his way in but damnit if Floyd doesn't make you pay damn near every time you make a mistake.

                    Someone needs to grab that blueprint from Oscar and fucking burn it.
