He lost that fight, though. In his last fight, against Caleb Truax, he made $750,000 in guaranteed money. Big stakes, big fighters, and big shots, in short, the night delivered on all fronts, giving fight fans well worth their money. By Jeff Aronow: Andre ‘SOG’ Ward was impressed enough with what he saw from Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant last Saturday night that he believes he’ll give unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and all the other top 168-pounders problems. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez said he’ll refuse to exercise his rematch option versus Dmitry Bivol - who schooled Alvarez in a light heavyweight title match earlier this month - and instead will fight two-belt middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin in September. Canelo Alvarez, left, and Gennady Golovkin trade punches in the seventh round during a middleweight title boxing match, Saturday, Sept. It means the Mexican's plans to square off against Gennady Golovkin for a third time are now perhaps on hold, with promoter Eddie Hearn previously stating a September showdown would only transpire should Canelo emerge victorious against Bivol.
“We talked going into this fight how good Dmitry Bivol is, how tough this fight was and it was a punch-perfect performance,” said Eddie Hearn, who promotes Alvarez. Alvarez’s promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, told USA Today: “If he fights GGG, he’ll rematch Bivol straight after. Other fights on the main card to watch include Derek Brunson vs. Watch it: Game 4 is Friday at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN. Game 5 (if necessary) is scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m. He exemplified why he's unquestionably the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. He will most likely open as a huge underdog against the current pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet. Bivol, 19-0 with 11 knockouts, will be making his fourth defense since he was made "super" champion in October 2019, and he wasn't intimidated by the pro-Alvarez crowd. After bulldozing his way through the super-middleweight division - becoming undisputed champion last year - Canelo set himself another monumental challenge as he stepped up to light-heavyweight to take on WBA (Super) champion Bivol. Canelo was comfortably outpointed by Bivol as he failed to capture the WBA ‘super’ light-heavyweight title against the Russian in Las Vegas.
Benavidez will make his return to the ring in a Nov. 13 homecoming on Showtime against late replacement Kyrone Davis, who fills in for former champion Jose Uzcategui following his own failed drug test. Finally, the fight will happen. Plant won the tedious fight by unanimous decision. Both men faced twice already, with the first bout ending in a draw in September 2017 and Alvarez coming out on top via majority decision a year later. He won by a unanimous decision. He won the IBF World title in February 2019. He won the Golden Gloves National Championship in 2011. His mother died at the age of 51 years old. Caleb won numerous tournament titles with a record of 97 wins as an amateur. Next to Claressa Shields, Ward has one of the most decorated amateur boxing careers. That’s because he collected all four belts at cruiserweight in 2018. And he thinks Alvarez will be the one to follow his lead. How many belts does Caleb Plant have? Besides a great website, they also have a documentary (often viewable on Amazon Prime or Netflix), a cooking course and a lively Facebook support group.
He’s strong, he’s young, he’s hungry, he’s explosive and he’s quick, but he’s gonna fall short. Although Trout's prospective contract would be the biggest in terms of total value, it would likely fall short of the amount Alvarez looks set to earn in the same period. This Saturday, February 15, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant (19-0, 11 KOs) looks to follow up his three-round demolition job of Mike Lee with a successful homecoming title defense against hard-hitting mandatory challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (31-2, 28 KOs) of Germany. Plant is scheduled to face the biggest challenge of his boxing career when he faces Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 6. Plant will defend his IBF title and undefeated record. With such abundant achievement, his fans are rooting for him to defend his current IBF super middleweight title, especially for the upcoming bout when he faces Canelo Alvarez. Plant doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned prior to his super fight with Alvarez. The fighters square off centre-ring, and the fight will be getting underway any second!
