Heavy Hands 51 - Canelo Alvarez and the Way of the Boxer-Puncher

Patrick Wyman and Connor Ruebusch of http://BloodyElbow.com continue their "Styles Make Fights" series, breaking down the essential styles of combat sports.

Episode 3 of "Styles Make Fights" is all about boxer-punchers.

For those unfamiliar with this Heavy Hands series (you can find the first two installments here, and here), "Styles Make Fights" is all about the way combat athletes do their thing--not technically, per se, but mentally. Which way does the fighter prefer to move? Where does he like to stand in the ring or cage? How does he act under duress? These are the questions that help us to understand the mindset at the heart of any fighter's style.
