Alvarez is phenomenal to watch when it comes to his power training etc. But I have noticed whenever I watch him on very important aspects of his training he always seems lack lustre, even on media day!
Double End Bag for instance, it's almost as if he is just playing around, breaks every 5 seconds and then throws a few L R L R L R, finishes with a hook and that's it every time!
Then there's his shadow boxing. A couple of punches and a duck here and there. No I'm no super coach but to me it seems like he is stuck in 1st gear here as well.
His Mitt work is impressive, except it seems to be a bit programmed (which is ok really) but focussed mainly towards power and speed/power. Not often counterpunching skills, defensive drills etc etc.
He is in great shape sure and immensely strong. But I think personally he could benefit from concentrating more on his higher level boxing skills now.
I am a big fan of Canelo and just concerned about what I sometimes notice.
Thoughts?
