In the days leading up to his fights he has analyzed his evolution: 'I was very active in the first half of my career, I haven't been as active lately, but I was out for 11 months before my last fight and it didn't seem to matter. If you have a good camp, it's fine. I'm not too worried about how long it's been since my last fight." Canelo was smart and you learn from fighting him. Then I made changes in my camp and developed areas that I needed to. When you're a champion you don't look at your mistakes as much, but losing can make you reflect and it's given me more drive and more determination to get back to where I was."
