However, as the overwhelming odds-on favourite Canelo looks primed to become just the sixth male fighter to accomplish this feat - and it could well be a night which takes him one step closer to securing a legendary status in the sport. Because Alvarez, himself mostly uninspiring on this night, does not suffer insult well. Alvarez, who holds the three of the major 168-pound belts, and Plant, who has the fourth, finally came to terms last week and will meet in a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view headliner on Nov. 6 at a venue to be announced in Las Vegas. Alvarez, who was signed to face Gennadiy Golovkin for a third time on Sept. Expect Plant to take a break and then look for a fight next spring or summer, depending on how much time he needs to recover physically and, probably more importantly, mentally. Alvarez knocked Plant out in the 11th round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and, while he made no definitive statement as to what lies ahead, did hint now was the time to take a back seat.
Canelo Alvarez (57-1-2, 38 KOs) was on the path to make history, and the Mexican maestro has just clinched the sky, by becoming the first ever undisputed super middleweight champion of the world, with his 11th round TKO victory over Caleb Plant at the MGM Grand Garden Arena this Saturday night. Canelo Alvarez (57-1-2) and Caleb Plant (21-1) battled at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in a unification bout for the five recognized titles, and while it took 11 rounds, Alvarez managed to hand Plant the first loss of his career and pick up the win via TKO. Google and Roku have resolved a contract dispute which prevented users from downloading the YouTube TV app, while users lost the use of Disney channels for two days due to a different dispute. Murata will have had great preparation. The canelo v. GGG fight was great and once inside the venue was fine.
The one man who came closest to that achievement, Joe Calzaghe (who held the WBA, WBC and WBO belts in 2007, having vacated his IBF title), believes Canelo is on the verge of adding to his reputation as one of the greats. Answers brief but to the point, Canelo is a man very much focused on Saturday’s Las Vegas fight, but having said earlier this year he could keep going for another seven years, and with Eddie Hearn hinting a future UK date was possible, the Mexican admitted he would be open to taking the show worldwide. Caleb Plant had been taken to hospital following his damaging 11th-round stoppage defeat to Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. Dmitry Bivol recorded a stunning upset of Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night, defending his light heavyweight title with a unanimous decision in Las Vegas. He had no luck luring any of the top 135-pounders into the ring despite holding a title (whether you think he's a legitimate champ or not is another matter). Could the four-division world champion and top pound-for-pound fighter make history by becoming the first undisputed super middleweight world champion in boxing history? Canelo Alvarez is the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world.
Alvarez entered Saturday’s bout as the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and The Ring champion. The WBC, WBA (Super) and WBO titleholder, who fought three times within a span of five months, was last seen in action against Billy Joe Saunders. Canelo stopped Avni Yildirim in February and did likewise to Billy Joe Saunders in May to unify the WBC, WBA and WBO super-middleweight titles. Alvarez dethroned undefeated Briton Billy Joe Saunders to earn another world title belt at 168lbs, and is now eyeing the last title of Plant's to complete another undisputed set. It’s a new era right now. Canelo also said it’s now ‘personal’ between him and Plant, who put himself in the firing line by bringing up his mother at a pre-fight presser. His mother was 51 years old as of dying. You can also stream on the BT Sport app. TV/Live stream: BT Sport Box Office - pay per view is £19.95.
