1. Combinations
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.
