Alvarez appeared riled by something Plant said and shoved the American, who aimed a slap back at Canelo. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has revealed that he shoved Caleb Plant and then brawled with the American in their first press conference because he made a comment about the Mexican's mother. Saul Alvarez and Caleb Plant's first press conference ahead of their highly anticipated November fight erupted into a furious brawl after Plant allegedly made a comment about the Mexican's mother. After the Mexican's left hook floored Plant, the American managed to beat the count and get back on his feet - only to be pummelled by a flurry of punches before he hit the canvas again and the referee stopped the fight. Guadalajara’s Alvarez and Las Vegas’ Plant will fight for Alvarez’s WBA, WBC and WBO 168 pounds crowns and Plant’s IBF belt. The fight promises to be a blockbuster, with 31-year-old Canelo the holder of the WBA, WBC, WBO and The Ring titles at super-middleweight. At 33, after losing to Lopez once for all three titles and after an extensive amateur career, the three-weight world champion might consider retirement if he's beaten again. Nov 6 (Reuters) - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez became the undisputed super-middleweight champion after knocking out Caleb Plant in the 11th round of their bout in Las Vegas on Saturday to unify the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
Plant, 29, holds the IBF belt while four-division world champion 'Canelo' possesses the WBC, WBA, WBO and The Ring titles. While the main event is most certainly intriguing, the undercard is perhaps lacking somewhat. Sweet Hands' Plant is currently 21-0, with 12 knockouts, while Alvarez has 56 wins from 59 fights, with 38 by knockout. The hard-hitting Canelo will undoubtedly be pushing for a knockout throughout, which is reflected in the odds of 4/7 for a stoppage win. It's clear that this won't last long as Soto is looking for a brutal knockout. Throughout boxing history, promoters and networks have set up the big fight with final hurdles for each boxer in one last attempt to create buzz, only to have those plans implode. The disgruntled moans and eye rolls were present amongst virtually all fight fans the moment Caleb Plant announced his next fight. It appears like Saunders may have an injured right eye.
Canelo Alvarez has also won the WBA Super middleweight (Regular) title since 2018. He has also won the title of WBA (Unified) and WBC, as well as the Ring light middleweight title all the way from 2016 till 2017. Canelo had also held the WBO light heavyweight title from the month of November till December in 2019. You may also like watching Bon Jovi VIP tickets or Britney Spears meet and greets. Plant came out firing when the pair came face-to-face in September, calling Canelo a drugs cheat - referring to his 2018 six-month ban after testing positive for clenbuterol, which the Mexican insists came from contaminated meat. And you're a drug cheat. But he (Canelo) get test positive for something and gets suspended for six months, and somehow he's not a drug cheat? The American also referred to Oscar Valdez, Canelo's gym-mate, who received no suspension despite testing positive for a banned substance. Alvarez, 31, came into the fight holding three 168-pound titles (WBC, WBA and WBO) while 29-year-old American Plant owned the IBF title. As a result, you can expect Plant to face non-risky contenders to back his way into a title shot, which he’ll probably lose if it’s Canelo or Benavidez.
So, it’s a mixture of everything. Then, should Alvarez defeat Bivol, he will face longstanding rival Gennadiy Golovkin on Sept. Since then, he has gone back to the gym to prepare for another shot at glory. Canelo has since dismantled Billy Joe Saunders to claim the WBO strap, with the undefeated Plant now standing in his way from eternal glory. The Mexican all-time great embarked on his journey at 168lbs towards the back-end of 2020, defeating Britain's Callum Smith to claim the WBA and WBC titles. Boxing fans want to see Canelo take more risks with his career, as he’s played it safe in the last three years capturing titles at super middleweight. You (Plant) are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don't want to fight now, I promise you,' he said. You're going to want to keep the grow contained inside the closet, so a grow tent might be a good idea.
