2. Body Punches

Blows to the body are key for Canelo Alvarez in this fight. Even if Miguel Cotto is in tremendous shape, Canelo can wear him down over time if he consistently works the body. This doesn’t even mean Canelo has to try and drop Cotto with a body shot, though I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
Canelo’s goal should be to make Cotto look 35. He appears to be in tremendous shape getting ready for this fight and should not hesitate to test the quality of Cotto’s conditioning.
Canelo should mainly think about using hooks to the body and even uppercuts to end his combinations.
