Also on the card is rising star Ryan Garcia (18-0, 15 KOs), who will look to unify the vacant WBC silver lightweight championship with NABO lightweight champion “Ruthless” Romero Duno (21-1, 16 KOs). Alvarez boasts an impressive career record of 57-1-2 with 39 KOs. However, one could also argue that Lopez could have pushed Garcia for the top spot had the momentum in his career not stalled out. He is still very marketable and built himself into an attraction with good performances in high-leverage Top Rank events. More importantly, Plant uses his left jab to good effect. Meanwhile, Plant is putting his IBF middleweight title on the line. Plant is likely counting on his management being able to restart talks with Canelo, who badly wants his IBF super middleweight title so that he can capture the belt to become the undisputed champion. Despite picking up every significant belt at super middleweight, ‘Canelo’ has not quite cleared out his division. Dmitry Bivol currently holds the WBA belt at 175 lbs. “There were some other options at 168-lbs. I think he loves to do it and Dimitry Bivol,” said Hearn on whether Canelo will pick Bivol.
Canelo Alvarez, Tyson Fury and Errol Spence Jr. are just a few of the names that are recognized in and out of the sport. Boxing's top stars are easy to spot. Inoue signed a co-promotional deal with Top Rank in 2019, an indicator of his potential to one day be a top draw in the United States. Even before defending his title for the third time in January in a bout with Caleb Truax, Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) called out Alvarez for a potential fight. Rodriguez (12-1-1, 11 KOs) opened Romero's guard with a right uppercut that missed before the left hand connected flush. Round 11: GGG 10-9, really hurt Canelo with a right hand and did good work there. Canelo Alvarez is the world’s best active boxer according to many aggregators such as BoxRec, The Ring, TBRB, ESPN, as well as the Boxing Writers Association of America. Gennadiy’s not getting any younger, and frankly speaking, his best chance to beat Canelo has most likely come and gone. By Sean Jones: Eddie Hearn says Canelo Alvarez will need to decide on his next opponent for the September 18th date because he could lose out on the title fight against WBA 175-lb champion Dimitry Bivol if he waits much longer.
“You know, you have Joe Smith, you have Dmitry Bivol and you have Artur Beterbiev. Caleb might be on the same level as Saunders and Smith, but he's not on my level. If Canelo waits as long as possible before revealing that he wants to fight Bivol, he might gain an edge against him if he’s not training hard because he’s unsure whether he’s going to get the fight or not. Hearn recently mentioned that Carlos Gongora is one of the options at 168 for Canelo to fight. If Plant can demonstrate that he's more of a boxer-puncher than he's given credit for, then we could have ourselves a more intriguing fight than expected next Saturday night. Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) scored a pair of knockdowns in Round 11 to stop Plant (21-1, 12 KOs) via TKO and make history inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) dominated his only bout this year, repeatedly hitting Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) with straight rights and right hooks to the head and punishing his upper arms over 12 rounds.
Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) would make sense as Canelo’s opponent for September in a stadium in Mexico. Moreover, he highlighted that he’d be willing to go down to Guadalajara in Mexico to fight the p4p king. There are only seven weeks to go before September 18th, and Plant, 28, isn’t the type of fighter willing to have a short training camp. Kambosos came up short for what seemed like all 12 rounds in his bout at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne Australia. It seems like it's only a matter of time before he turns more heads. “I still feel like we’ve done a great job, and DAZN has the best schedule in U.S boxing. She fights for titles consistently, and it's not her fault some of her opponents, while titleholders, aren't exactly the best competition. While he has always denied taking illicit substances, blaming a positive test for clenbuterol on meat which he’d eaten, Plant said: “This sport is too dangerous for people to be popping positive. Alvarez unloaded a left-right-left combination on the depleted Plant and eventually knocked him flat on his back. And still young. Beterbiev is aging but still in his prime Kovalev, arguably the back end of his career, but you could do it,” said Eddie Hearn.
