Alvarez vs. Lara: 3 Keys to Victory for Canelo

On July 12, 2014, the two best junior middleweights not named Floyd Mayweather will engage in a huge fight titled, “Honor and Glory.”

Hand Speed

Canelo’s hand speed is probably the fastest in the Junior Middleweight division—other than pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Canelo throws beautiful multiple-punch combinations and he will need to rely on his rapid trigger against Lara.

When Canelo can physically dominate and hurt his opposition by using his superior hand speed, he can put the icing on the cake.

Canelo’s hand speed will help him to counter punch against Lara. This will be a very good asset for his boxer-punching style against Lara.

In the fight against Austin Trout, Canelo connected on 124 out of 431 of his total punches, resulting in 29 percent connect percentage.

Against Alfredo Angulo, Canelo landed on 295 out of 513 total punches, producing a stellar 58 percent connect rate.

For Canelo, he needs to connect a solid 50 percent of his total punches thrown against the slick southpaw to be victorious.
