STYLE
Masaka:
Ny ara-batana Stalker izay boaty avy amin'ny ortodoksa fihetsika, Cotto dia lasa ady totohondry fahaiza-manao tsaratsara kokoa, fa mbola ho avy aleony mahitsy, ary manao mpanohitra teo amin'ny vatana masiaka fanafihana. Cotto favors hooks and uppercuts to straight punches and turns every bout into a war of attrition. Doesn’t have lights-out punching power but is very punishing. Most of his stoppage victories have come late, taorian'ny efa tonta mpifanandrina aminy teo. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.
Alvarez:
An tia ady, ara-batana mpiady amin'ny fahaiza-manao sy ny ady totohondry underrated quickness, Alvarez matetika dia manao mpanohitra any amin'ny tapaka tsindry sy ny fibobohan--polo punches.

Hery
Masaka:
* Body Fanafihana - Cotto dia tena mety ho ny tsara indrindra ao amin'ny vatana puncher fanatanjahantena ankehitriny. He wings thunderous hooks on the inside that make contact with whatever is available: taolan-tehezany, sorony, tratra, tratra, sy ny fitaovam-piadiana, amin'ny fanasaziana vokatra.
* Hery - Cotto dia matanjaka sy ara-batana mpiady. Even as he has grown from junior welterweight up to middleweight, dia mijanona ho hery ara-batana, afaka fanaovana teo lehibe kokoa ny mpanohitra.
* Heart - Cotto mitondra be dia be ny fiavonavonana rehefa dingana an-peratra. He has been in a number of wars where he’s been cut, Nandondòna teo, na amin'ny toe-javatra ratsy hafa, ary Cotto nampiseho ny tompon-daka ny fo.
Alvarez:
* Punching Hery - Alvarez mitondra kotrokorana amin'ny roa totohondry. He is knockout power in either hand, fa ny tena manimba fitaovam-piadiana mitoetra ao amin'ny ankavia hook. A single left hook rendered the iron-jawed Carlos Baldomir unconscious and his knockout of James Kirkland was a potential knockout of the year candidate.
* Hery - Alvarez dia ara-batana-matotra sy thickly-nanorina mpiady amin'ny hery mifono zava-miafina. He is effective in backing fighters up, na dia tsy hipetraka maoderina punches. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, dia nanandratra azy eny an-tongony ka naniraka azy ho any amin'ny lamba amin'ny punches izay niantsona manohitra ny mpanohitra ny tratrany.
* Nanasazy Body Fanafihana - Alvarez aleony mba hanao ny mpanohitra teo amin'ny Meksikana nentim-paharazana lamaody ny fanasaziana ny vatana. While he is economical with his punches, izy mamonjy leverage ambony indrindra isaky ny totohondriny, indrindra fa ny hanorotoro niala lelam-pitana ny aty.
Fahalemena
Masaka:
* Vokatry ny Ady - Cotto dia mifaninana manohitra izao tontolo izao-pianarana fanoherana nandritra ny folo taona. He suffered two brutal losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao and suffered punishment in his wins over Ricardo Torres, Zab Joda, ary Shane Mosley. While he has had a resurgence working with Freddie Roach, ny fitambaran'ny vokatry ny ady aloha dia afaka ny ho manimba.
* Easy ny Hit - Cotto no nanao fanatsarana tamin'ny fiarovana, fa mbola manana ny fisainana fa ny fiarovana tsara indrindra dia tsara ny fandikan-dalàna.

* Chin - Rehefa mitambatra amin'ilay fandikan-dalàna izay nandao Azy mora hiadiana punches, Ny shaky Cotto Chin dia mety ho fomba fahandro ho an'ny loza.

Even the light-punching Floyd Mayweather staggered him late in their fight.
Alvarez:
* Amin'ny lafiny iray - Alvarez tsy mampifanaraka tsara tamin'ny tapaky ny volana ady. He comes in with a single game-plan and has not shown the ability to adjust even when his tactics are not working. He struggled in his wins over Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara and was easily out-boxed against Mayweather.
* Havizanana - Alvarez miasa mafy eo amin'ny fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena sy be mandrakariva amin'ny endrika nefa matetika hitany fa sarotra ny mandeha fitongilan'ny feno ho an'ny iray manontolo manodidina, indrindra fa raha ny ady miditra ao amin'ny afovoany na taty aoriana fihodinana. In his match with Austin Trout, Alvarez nampiseho lehibe indraindray harerahana ary na dia nahita ny tenany manampy ny.
* Easy ny Hit -Alvarez mbola fahatafintohinana-voalohany karazana mpiady izay tia mampihatra fanerena ny mpanohitra. He will leave himself open to counter punches, indrindra fa ankavanana sy ny sisa MediaWiki fihantonany.

PENECALE hoavy
Cotto dia hanokatra mampiasa ny fahaiza-manao sy ny ady totohondry underrated quickness, mifindra tsy hiala amin'izy, ary jabbing ao anatin'ny ezaka mba Alvarez tsy fametrahana ny tongony. Alvarez will advance trying to establish his own jab and work the body. Whenever Alvarez gets too close, Cotto no andry fototry izy ka hanitsaka zoro amin'ny vitsivitsy mafy jabs. The first two rounds will be strategical but tense. The eruption can happen at any time.
Ny hetsika dia hanomboka mainka ao amin'ny 3RD manodidina araka ny Alvarez mandrakariva akaiky kokoa sy mahazo hery Cotto ny manomboka ny hijoro ny tany. Like a couple of mountain rams butting heads and locking horns, ny hery punches dia hanomboka ny manidina. Cotto will throw flashier combinations, mampiseho overhand zo ho amin'ny lohany, ankavia fihantonana amin'ny vatana, ary sarotra jabs nifanatrika sy ny tratra. Alvarez will dig his toes in and throw thumping single shots, uppercuts sy ny fihantonany, Ary ny amin'ny loha sy ny vatana, izay hiafara amin'ny iray abrasion Cotto ny ankavia eo ambany maso sy ny ra hitsika amin'ny fasika avy any am-bavany.
Nandritra ny afovoany fihodinana, Cotto ny ady totohondry sy ny skillset ambony ho azy mialoha kely ny scorecards Alvarez, fa ny habeny sy ny hery tombony ho, tsikelikely ary azo antoka, manao Cotto midina. Cotto’s three-and-four-punch combinations will gradually reduce to two-punch combinations and single hooks to the body. The slower pace will favor Alvarez and he will be able to control the tempo and dig in with hard punches to the body and right hands to the face.
Hivarina any an- 7faha- manodidina, miaraka amin'ny bout saika sy Tsapan'izy na dia tsy hanimba ny lehibe kokoa Alvarez, Cotto dia iverenana indray ny fifantohana ho ady totohondry teo ivelany. The change in tactic will momentarily bewilder Alvarez, izay lasa raharaham-barotra tany amin'ny aina lavaka. The brief momentum shift will allow Cotto to regain a slight lead on the scorecards.
Fantany fa izy no mahatonga sy miatrika ny mpanohitra izay nihena tsikelikely, Alvarez dia mampihatra mandoro tsindry ao amin'ny 9faha- manodidina, mijoko Cotto, nanery azy hifindra na totohondry ho tafavoaka velona, sy ny hoe mahatonga azy ho sarobidy mandany ny heriny tamin'ny fanaovana izany. Whenever they get close, Alvarez dia hampiasa ny tsorony ny hozatra Cotto sy Clip azy amin'ny fohy farango sy ny uppercuts, vetivety mampiraikiraiky azy ao amin'ny 10faha- manodidina.
Amin'ny tavany morphing ho hafahafa sarontava ny ra sy ny mamontsina, dia toa lany Cotto no handeha ho tampoka amin'ny 11faha-, manafika mafy sy amim-piomanana akory ny sasany ny tsara indrindra ho an'ny vatana fihantonany sy ny loha. Alvarez will be happy to trade hooks with him and the action will be intense. Late in the round, Alvarez dia taniny ho maoderina uppercut tahaka Cotto malalaka misokatra sy ny Puerto Rico mpiady dia milatsaka amin'ny lohaliny, ny ankavia maso efa ho mihidy sy ny vavany famoahana ra. His heart will pull him to his feet and Alvarez will come in for the kill, hanampy Cotto ny mahazaka izay ny fifanakalozana ny punches dia nijanona ihany ny lakolosy.
Rehefa avy mikasika fonon-tanana mba hanomboka ny fihodinana farany, Alvarez dia hanafika Cotto avy ny nanombohan'ny. A pair of right hands to the side of the head will wobble Cotto, nanery azy mba mampivembena ny tady ka ho lavo amin'ny lohaliny. Referee Robert Byrd will administer the count with Cotto rising at the count of 8, niady mafy fa Izy dia OK ny hanohy. As soon as Byrd waves the fighters back together, Alvarez haniry manerana ny peratra, hipetraka dia tanana ankavanana sy ny ankavia uppercut. As Cotto falls back against the neutral corner, Byrd dia dingana eo amin'izy ireo sy hampitsahatra ny ady, nidika Alvarez ho mpandresy.
Ny mpandresy amin'ny tko amin'ny 59 segondra ny 12h manodidina dia ho Saoly "Canelo" Alvarez!!!!
