Let's say you're a slow starter, and you're fighter a fast starter. What can you do to weather the early rounds?

I have an issue with the whole "fast starter" vs "slow starter" thing.
For example, Canelo has a reputation of being a slow starter, I don't think there's such a thing, what I think happens is that some style wise are more careful in what they do. Canelo isn't going to just come barreling forward.
Angulo on the other hand is said to be a fast starter, but I think it's because he is more prone to stand and ****. Now when he faced some boxers, it took a whole for the fight to get heated up. For me it's about styles and what you want to do more so that being conscious of going out there and just letting it fly without being intelligent. -
How many rounds in the fight?
I've found that for amateur bouts, you really don't have an option of being a slow starter.Comment

If we're talking about 10-12round pro fights. I think being a slow starter (i think of them more as "deliberate" than slow) isn't so much weathering the fast starters storm. Actually you're better off against someone who starts quick than you are against an elusive but paced fighter who can put rounds in the bank and not slow down.Originally posted by VG_Addict View Post
But as a slow starter, you need to be applying pressure, and imposing your will, you need to keep the other guy working if you're going to be giving up rounds, and you need to throw when the opening is available. You have to be working to break him down, whether it be with footwork or punches, just keeping the pressure up and hoping he'll bend or break soon.
As far as trying to win rounds as a slow starter? . . . Land effective punches, impose your will, don't get peppered by a bunch of shots.
Honestly, this is really too situational to just say what a slow starter should do against a fast starter.... Variables man, Variables...Comment
