beating canelo

[Yuzo]

This is indeed a very cool post, i do like the addition of gifs too...great work!... So you're clearly an expert do you see anyway of Alvarez having a chance v bivol(barring a capitulation by bivol)? Are the problems canelo has set in stone or can he switch it up?

i have this theory that boxing doesnt actually happen until two guys decide they want to throw a pair of right hands or a pair of left hooks at the same time and that what we call boxing is not actually boxing at all but just something that looks a lot like it. and so it is, that, in this view anyway, the best boxer is the guy that looks like he is boxing when there is really no boxing happening at all and that is so much harder to do than it sounds.

heres an example. you throw your jab and the other guy slips it, like this.



you will have noticed that by having slipped your jab in this way that his head can be maneuvered into your right hand, like this.



but because slipping a jab this way naturally mimics the motion of throwing a right hand, what you will not have noticed when you decided to throw your right hand at him, is his right hand that he decided to throw at you.



boxing is when shapes interact with each other to occasionally produce interesting collisions. when two boxers throw punches like right hands or left hooks at the same time they each enter onto intersecting trajectories that essentially result in them colliding into each other very hard.

and so it is, that, to beat a guy like dimitry bivol, a guy like canelo alvarez must do what all boxers before him and after him must always do. he must throw more punches. but that is too vague. he must throw more punches to deliberately expose himself to more counter punches because counter punching exposes the counter puncher to more punches. now they're really boxing.
