Saunders had an absence of respect for Canelo, in addition to Canelo’s energy. Canelo, 56-1-2 with 38 knockouts, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, felt he broke a part of Saunders face with the cash punch, a cracking feeling which turned the bout. Billy Joe Saunders is unpredictable from here. This tactic didn’t work for Sugar Ray Leonard towards Hector Macho Camacho, and it didn’t work for Saunders right here. More good work from Bivol, who lands to the body and head.

By then, Plant was already a world champion and far removed from the life he grew up in back in Tennessee.
