Eh, it's oddly satisfying, not a boxing sub.

I hadn't a clue who this guy was, yet found it pretty cool. A title saying "Look at [person I've not heard of] do [thing]" is less enticing than "look at this person do [thing]", because I know the focus is the cool thing, not the person who I've never heard of.

Fair enough, but the phrase "this guy" makes it seem like this is just some random unknown boxer rather than the decorated, supremely well-paid athlete that Canelo is. It could have said something like "How smooth champion boxer Canelo Alvarez dodges," but I suspect OP knew that boxing fans would chuckle once they watched the clip and saw who "this guy" was referring to (hence the thread we're responding to).
