Cotto vs. Canelo | 3 Keys to Victory for Canelo Alvarez

Check out Merissa Dyer’s three keys that Canelo Alvarez must consider to beat Miguel Cotto this Saturday.

1. Combinations

Canelo Lopez
Canelo Alvarez needs to use effective combinations on Miguel Cotto to wear him down. Canelo is known for being able to put his punches together, and this is key in being able to get ahead on the scorecards and make Cotto feel aged.

Cotto is a veteran and is banking on being able to outbox Canelo at all costs. If Canelo can’t outsmart Cotto, he can at least outwork him. The best way to do this is by using his jab frequently and effectively to set up ripping combinations.

Canelo’s activity level is important should this fight go the distance and consist of back-and-forth exchanges. He’s already an aggressive boxer-puncher and if he can make it appear he’s controlling the fight, there’s a good chance he can snag a decision over Cotto.
