He trains like this:
>Go at heavy bag
>Coach holds heavy bag and a pool noodle
>Slaps at your head with pool noodle
>You slip/bob/weave and hit the heavy bag
Kinda like using the bag for padwork, it works well. Good cardio, too.

At that level, head movement is as much about reading your opponent as it is technique, if not more. There's lots of ways to learn how to move your noggin, but using it is another story

I don't have canelo's head movement but once during sparring I realized that if you move ever so slightly like a pendulum it makes it much easier for me. All you have to do is make the movement that's already there bigger and put some speed in it.

>you're doing the subtle head movement thing
>head moves left and right or whatever slightly
>notice attack while moving to the right
>continue moving to the right but now with a full movement instead of just a subtle movement

can't explain it properly

figure it's easier to charge a movement that's already there instead of standing still and having to react, decide where to move, and accelerate from nothing

>know what movements to make to evade any given strike at a particular range and angle
>know that your opponent will probably read the same and adjust
>adjust to their adjustment and mix up the evasions
A straight punch can be evaded left, right, under, or back (if you have a height or reach advantage)
Hooks can be evaded opposite to the direction of the punch, back, or under (especially if you have a height disadvantage)
Uppercuts can be evaded left or right
Everything has to be instinctual and ingrained into your bones

Light Sparring. Find a partner/coach or two to practice defensive drills with
