2. Get to the Chin

The biggest concern for Amir Khan in this fight is his chin. Canelo Alvarez needs to make it his business to test the chin early. His goal doesn’t even have to be knocking Khan out–even scoring a knock down or two will put Canelo ahead on the scorecards, and Khan in a position of desperation.
Canelo can get to the chin a number of ways but ideally, he should try to land his lead left hook.
Before committing to the hook, Canelo will need to gage the holes in Khan’s game and capitalize off of them.
Feints are another great way for Canelo to place power shots more stealthily.
