“I Don’t Remember What Happened”: Canelo Alvarez Reveals Post-fight Rituals to Avoid Making Same “Mistakes”

A sincere boxer is always critical of himself and understands that honest analysis of his fights is essential to his development. Similarly, Canelo Alvarez, before moving on from a contest he just had, spends significant time going through his performance. In this manner, the mistakes he had made during the match are exposed to the Mexican boxer. Speaking of which, in his latest interaction with Adela Micha, Alvarez revealed what goes on in his mind during and after a fight!

Anybody who has ever been in the ring would know that once the bell rings, other than her opponent, hardly anything occupies the boxer’s attention. Similarly, when Canelo Alvarez is boxing, he is thoroughly focused on studying his opponent’s behavior and the reactions favorable for a win. So, dwelling on his matches, Alvarez found himself recalling the times he was absolutely absorbed in the fights!

Not everything conforms to the plan and in a fight, a lot is subject to improvisation. “There are times that I have gotten lost. There are times that I don’t remember what happened in the fight. I mean I’m so involved in what I’m doing, I’m so focused,” Canelo Alvarez told Adela Micha. He went on.

While in the fight Canelo Alvarez would have solved the puzzle and would know exactly what he needed to execute in the next round. “I want to stop and continue because I already know what I have to do,” Alvarez added excitedly. And once the fight and the post-fight interviews were over, away from the eyes, he would study the videos of his performance.

“[I am not satisfied] until I remember everything that happened in the fight until I see it again that same night. I always see it again,” the undisputed Super-Middleweight champion said. He concluded saying, “I see my mistakes so as not to make them again.” Now that is the attitude of a sincere boxer, determined to improve his craft!
