3. Attack the Body

Amir Khan is supremely athletic, but incessant body shots can wear anyone down over time. Fortunately, power, combinations and punches to the body are Canelo Alvarez‘s specialty.
Khan is gifted in speed and throwing combinations, so Canelo should focus on working the body to slow his opponent down throughout the fight.
Even if Canelo doesn’t knock Khan out, slowing him down will make Khan look ineffective and help Canelo appear to be the more active fighter.
Going to the body might provoke Khan to work on the inside, which is a very dangerous range for him.
If Canelo can keep going to toe-to-toe with Khan, he can lure him into a dangerous position, and make Khan fight a fight that is not his own.
