Watch: Robin Black's incredible breakdown of the altercation between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant
Robin Black recently broke down the infamous altercation between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant at a press conference last month. Plant allegedly insulted Alvarez's mother, turning the verbal confrontation into a physical one.
In a recent tweet, Black analyzed the incident from a unique perspective.
"In hand-to-hand combat, essentially space is time, relative to speed. There's no time to act because there's no space here, chest-to-chest. So Canelo must create a void. With an engaged full-body kinetic chain, he'll push Plant and step away to stagger hips and blade shoulders. Now immediately both slip smoothly into the biochemically altered states. Plant chose the right while Canelo accesses his gentle responsive flow. He will leave his target stationary to invite the wide open hand arc, reading with a cerebral cortex which triggers his motor cortex to initiate a series of movements practiced hundreds of, thousands of times. A millisecond peak into the ear as the legs drive two sharp strikes with totality of commitment."
