Canelo gasses in every fight, even the Trout fight that I believe he lost.
From what I remember he runs his camp and he is very lax on conditioning in camp. This is just the natural result of it, he doesn't have the reserves for digging deep or increasing the pressure the second half of the fight.

I blame that on the fact he's been draining himself down to Junior Middleweight.

Well he didn't seem like he had problems making 152 with floyd, so I don't think he was draining hard when he fought trout. He was a solid 154er and he has now outgrown the division.
I am interested to see if he is able to carry his power up from 154 (which wasn't 1 punch knockout power) to 160 though.

He hadn't weighed in that low in over 3 years.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said it was simply the "A-side" fighter getting the upside over the "B-side" fighter. Mayweather usually fights at 147 pounds.

"We just took advantage of a situation. It's no different from basketball, football or baseball," he said. "You're always going to put your opposition at a disadvantage, if you can. You break 'em down and you go in for the kill.

This fight to me is about how good is JCCjr really? Especially when motivated. He has the physical advantages. I give him a decent chance. I am also shamefully rooting for him. He isnt the better fighter thats for sure, but I dont see them on different levels. If JCCjr can mix in good boxing (he has some skills) with brawling/bullying he can win. He cant just do one though. He cant just box or just brawl.

If you've seen the JCCjr/Andy Lee fight, it kinda gives a blueprint to what Chavez can do to win this fight. Canelo in the superior boxing talent, but his fighting in spurts habit can really hurt him against this guy. The whole aura of The Chavez name, and what it means to Mexico boxing gives this fight a highten sense of pressure, Canelo has never dealt with.

Jr's beard is legit and nothing about Canelo's power makes me think he can keep Jr off of him for 12 rounds. Nacho being in Jr's corner is a big plus too. I think Canelo is in for a rude awakening.
Bodyshot KO breh when the last time you watched Canelo?
