This counter punch from Canelo was beautiful
Canelo Álvarez's victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. illustrated Canelo's skills at the very best. The only thing that was missing was a knockout - something that, on a different day, could've easily arrived.
There were so many impressive moments from Canelo that it feels wrong to highlight just one, but this punch on the fifth round - a highlight that started trending on Reddit following the catchweight bout - certainly stands out. Look at his reaction not just to avoid the punch in the first place but to throw such a hard counter. It's Mayweather-esque, and showcased a kind of smarts that have helped make Canelo among the best boxers on the planet.
