I read these kind of threads and I wonder if people have followed Angulo's career. I'm a Perro fan and coming into this fight I knew damn well the type of chances we had. Angulo is slow / sluggish and throws stiff punches... very one dimensional. But he is a threat due to his constant pressure and power. Only thing I was counting on was Angulo catching Canelo with something dumb and hurting him badly.
Take a look at the Lara fight and you will notice it is the same Angulo. Difference is Lara runs / retreats and Angulo was able to throw without getting fast combinations thrown back. Lara would throw a jab and 1 or 2 punches and then proceed to change direction and move and it was during that transition that Angulo caught Lara.
Canelo used his offense to keep Angulo hesitant. And when went toe to toe, he would keep a firm guard up which Angulo couldn't punch thru or around. Canelo's fast powerful combinations kept the dog tamed.
