Only 19 days after his fight against Dmitry Bivol, Saúl Álvarez continues his preparation to the fullest with the aim to win in his first match of the 2022. And DAZN Boxing, which closely follows Canelo’s work, showed us his neck training, exhibiting an exercise that hurts us just by seeing it.
Before “torture” there is calm. Canelo gets distracted listening to cumbia in his gym . And then he reaches his limit trying to strengthen his neck: he puts a weight on his head, the which is well adjusted because it is tight on her face, like a kind of elastic band that is tied.
Take a few steps forward and then start to move your neck side to side, while feeling the pressure exerted by the tape you stretched and also the weight that was placed on your head.
He concludes his exercise by increasing the difficulty: he begins to spin around his own axis, with the context described above. Maximum pressure and force. In his face we can see gestures of pain .
We see Canelo suffer like few times, and even more than in most of his fights. This is the training of a champion, the one that allows him to stay at the top of boxing.
Eddie Hearn, promoter, shared another video that won’t make us feel pain, but admiration for the talent of Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez. A mixture of speed and timing to hit impressive.
On May 7, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo will face Dmitry Bivol in search of his victory 58 as a professional.
