Comments Thread For: Mares: Canelo's Big Mistake, Trying To Box Mayweather

[mathed]

That's my point its easy to say make the fight look ugly when your not an ugly kinda fighter , be telling Brandon Rios box like Floyd , sounds good in the dressing room , and the moment Floyd is a few feet away everything is not what they thought it was going to be .

You cannot be wild and messy with Floyd , because you will not land anything substantial and 12 rnds is a long way to go in the first .

Boxing is very cerebral , at the very highest level of the sport fighting is brains , casual fans wont ever understand that , to them its just a fight .

It's about advantages, physics and mental aptitude. Floyd will eat you alive if you try to fight him in the center of the ring, tit for tat (quid-pro-quo). He is facing a naturally bigger man who should be able to push the smaller man around and take him out of his comfort zone. It's not about making it a brawl, it's about seeing where the weakness are and taking advantage of them.

If you play to another man's strengths, he will capitalize on the opportunity and not think twice about it. This is precisely what Canelo did. I'm not saying taking Floyd out of his game would be easy but it is the only way to stand a chance, not trying to outbox him....it ain't gonna happen.

Personally think that Pac-Bradley was a close fight, I watched that fight in slow mo and Pac was not hitting Bradley as much as it looked when I first watched the fight

got a pic with Mares at the fight. I was glad because I didnt get it during the Ghost fight like I shouldve.

He was spot on with this too. I said that the Trout fight may have been the worst thing to happen to Canelo because he thought he was Sweet Pea and could beat anyone like that but that is the worst way to fight against Floyd because you arent going to outbox him

You can easily see why Floyd pulled a fake retirement. Pressure fighters like Margarito and Williams scared the hell out of him. Non prime Cotto connected in rounds where he put pressure on Floyd.

Floyd did win but he didnt totally dominate or school Alvarez at all, Canelo had him flinching and missing as well. Everyone else that stood toe to toe with floyd got socked up all night and outclassed. Alvarez deserves some respect for chess boxing floyd and didnt get beat up. yes floyd is great and yes he won butyou cats are blind sayin alvarez got dominayed and schooled

lol. he torched canelo. dominate, schooled, toyed with and dismantled.

Fight was a boring, bloodless fight. Easy money for both fighters. Not worth watching for most viewers.

Finally someone with some sense comments on the short comings of canelo. I completely agree how are you going to outbox the worlds best boxer when your only real advantages are your youth and strength not necessarily your ring intelligence.

So Ironic lmao Mares got KO'ed in one in his last fight
